One-time Christian rock singer Jennifer Knapp releases her first album since coming out as a lesbian, and her fourth major-label studio album overall. Letting Go should play well to her old fans, sounding very much like her albums on Christian label Gotee. Lyrically, the music has a spiritual bent but deals with more earthly desires. Heck, it even has swear words!
For those paying attention to Ms. Knapp's music for the first time, this album is a decent gateway. It's emotional folk-pop, a lot of strumming guitars and introspection. If you enjoy Mat Kearney, Matt Nathanson or Sara Bareilles, Letting Go is your cup of tea. I just wish the songs had better hooks, they run into each other and I have a hard time distinguishing between tracks. I would recommend Kansas, Jennifer's Gotee debut, over Letting Go.
