Although many have made valiant efforts in the name of "Christian dance pop," it's been pretty rare to hear something worth the trouble. Tammy Trent has got the stuff. A fan of the Minneapolis school of pop, Tammy Trent has a great voice, and producers Steve Dady and Tedd T. have given her a great environment.

Trent even manages to work the James Taylor classic "You've Got A Friend" into a Christian context, while setting it to a subtle, sultry groove, all without damaging the song. It's a shame the field isn't more crowded with quality dance divas in Christian music. But with Tammy Trent, at least we're one artist closer.
