A Messenger: Expanded Edition  (Sparrow)
by Colton Dixon

FOR FANS OF: Lifehouse, Jason Castro, Capital Kings
Rating: 4 Stars

When A Messenger first released around this time last year, it showcased this American Idol season 11 finalist’s dynamite vocals and superb songwriting skills. Given the project’s success, it’s only fitting for the original to be fleshed out with a pair of tunes not available on the standard edition. Additionally, four catchy remixes are sure to keep the momentum alive until the modern rocker’s next official studio album.
