    If you miss the Sandi Patti inspirational pop of the 1980s, you're in luck. Ric & Sara debut their self-titled album with a collection of tunes ranging in style from inspirational pop to gospel to worship. Sara's voice does sound remarkably similar to Sandi Patti, and together Ric & Sara are reminiscent of male/female duos such as Billy & Sarah Gaines or Steve and Annie Chapman. High points are "Worship Medley" and Sara's silky vocals, contrasted against generic songwriting and a lack of anything truly exciting musically.
