About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Sara Groves's third major-label release finds the thoughtful singer-songwriter penning her trademark insightful tales about life and faith. This time, however, there's a lush jazz-pop polish to her concise, neo-folkie compositions. The result is beautifully engaging, full of musical intricacies (like the nifty dobro on "Esther" and the enticing viola embroidery on "What I Thought I Wanted"). Such production flourishes bear mentioning because they show that Groves has matured as a performer and writer, to the point where such things truly embellish, not distract. Not nearly as bare-bones as her first release, but lyrically more accessible and personal than her last, The Other Side of Something shows us an artist who is able to write her heart, perform with conviction, and present her songs in a way that listeners can touch. It just doesn't get better than that. Lisa Zhito, Barnes & Noble

May 22, 2004: Just about the time I'm ready to be disillusioned with Christian music (once again), Sara Groves releases a new album, and gives me a ray of hope. "The Other Side of Something" is truly a breath of fresh air! Musically, it's fun. Charlie Peacock and Nate Sabin expand Sara's stylistic boundaries, while maintaining her musical integrity. All-the-while, we see a new level of maturity in Sara's songwriting. As she continues to deal with the real subjects of life, one can walk away from this CD with a real feeling of peace, knowing that just as we strive to be "perfect" in our Christian walk, there is an aspect of God's grace that encourages us to still be human... to be real. For me, the 2nd disc is the real highlight. To hear the stories behind the songs is always an interesting thing, because you realize that Sara lived every lyric. Great work, Sara. Thanks for taking some risks with this release. Thanks for growing. Thanks for not jumping on the worship bandwagon. And finally, thanks for being real.

April 30, 2004: I love everything Sara does, but this new release is fantastic! The bonus CD is a must so don't wait. Compelled is my favorite. Like a skin is my second. I know just what she means. Roll to the middle is so true for us married folks. Esther is great! Upbeat yet tells us a personal story. They are all great yet different. Prayer for this child on the bonus cd is such a beautiful personal song only a mother could write. You will love this cd.
