Some Album Reviews:

“‘ve been a Lifehouse fan for a long time now, ever since 2001 when I kept hearing Hanging by a Moment on the radio and fell in love with the song. I don’t have the hardcore fan credentials of some. I know that there are people who have followed Lifehouse from their days as Blyss and may be proud owners of a Diff Lucky’s Day EP. And my first Lifehouse concert wasn’t until 2006. I regret not seeing them when Sergio was in the band.

That being said, I really like Almeria. I know this site will soon be flooded with people accusing Lifehouse of “selling out.” I will admit that Between the Raindrops does have a bit of that sense, and it’s one of the weaker songs on the album. Natasha Bedenfield doesn’t really add much to that song, and it honestly wouldn’t have lost much if she weren’t there. But the album as a whole works, and Lifehouse has produced a solid album that has a lot of variety on it.

There is no primary reason on Why Lacey Sturm left Flyleaf, but the only reason she mentioned as priority for her now is her new born son Jack.

Flyleaf introduced their new lead singer to replace Lacey Sturm. The new lead singer for Flyleaf is Kristen May. Flyleaf, “Flyleaf fans, please welcome Kristen May to the Flyleaf family! She’ll be assuming the lead vocal duties for any upcoming tour dates. ” Previously, Kristen May was a lead singer for the band named Vedera. Vedera disbanded in 2011. Just a few weeks ago, Flyleaf and Kristen May played their first show together.

Lacey’s announcement:

Lacey Sturm issued the following very personal statement to fans: “I have been beyond blessed to be in Flyleaf for the past ten years, touring with four amazing men and the Flyleaf crew whom I love like my flesh and blood family. They have all given so much. It took everyone on our team to make the beauty of Flyleaf possible. I am honored to have met so many wonderful people who love Flyleaf music all over the world. Your incredible stories continue to inspire me. I am very thankful to have recently become a mom to one of the greatest blessing of my life, my son Jack. You may have also heard that we recently lost our brilliant sound engineer, Rich Caldwell, in a devastating car accident. Now, more than ever, I understand phrase Memento Mori. I understand that, for me, living life to the fullest in this season means to step down as the lead singer for Flyleaf. I wish the best to Jared, Pat, Sameer, and James and I know that as I continue to pursue the highest heights of what I am created for, it will free them to pursue that for themselves too. The guys will continue to tour and write music together. I’m so very grateful that they are able to do what they desire and that there is a beautiful and talented, warm-hearted girl like Kristen May to sing for them. Because of this, you will all get a chance to see a new Flyleaf show and support the new album. As I take this first step on a new journey, I pray that each one of you would pursue your highest calling with reckless abandon as well, understanding that sometimes the fullness of life comes in doing things that are only understood by you, God, and the special people God has put in your life that truly love you for you…..not for what you do, but for who you are. I love you guys so much and in many ways, I will still stay in touch. May God bless you all with healthy hearts full of courage to weather the journey to your own New Horizons.”

Here are some welcomes from the fans:
