    Sparrow Records has recently released Aaron Spiro's debut album, Sing. Is it worth your time and, more importantly, your money? Well, maybe to some...but definitely not everyone.

    While it does have a few tracks that may get you tapping your foot, such as the title track or "Thrill," most of the songs are just hard to get into.

Or maybe we now like to brand things "worship" because that…
