One Review

Australian Christian rockers, the Paul Colman Trio made a big splash in 2002 with their international debut "A New Map Of The World". Now, Paul and friends are back with their second album entitled "One".
"One" displays an edgier sound than its predecessor and also shows the band maturing as a tight musical unit. Paul Colman's songwriting is definitely in full bloom here complete with catchy hooks and openly honest lyrics.
The opening track "I'll Be With You" is a upbeat number with lyrics of comfort and hope. Other standout tracks include the thumping rocker "Solution", the Dave Matthews-like "Birthday Song", the experimental "Who Do You Say?", "Live It!" which has a touch of Steven Curtis Chapman's style thrown in and the John Mayer-esque title track.
The Paul Colman Trio has shown considerable growth musically and lyrically since the release of their debut. "One" definitely shows the band coming into their own. Chances are the album after this one will be an improvement as well. Check "One" out. You won't be disappointed.
