Hope in Front of Me
[edit]- ...
that on Hope in Front of Me, former American Idol contestant Danny Gokey abandoned his previous country music sound in favor of blue-eyed soul?

Article new enough, long enough and tone is OK. I have searched for differing reviews given the high praise, but appears to be the case that the album was well received by the target audience and not covered in depth elsewhere, so OK to pass on neutrality. The hook has some issues as the article (and its sources) indicate that there are country elements in the album, meaning this hook is a little inexact. @3family6: can you try for an alternative hook?

- ALT 1 ... that on Hope in Front of Me, former American Idol contestant Danny Gokey moved from his previous country music sound toward a more blue-eyed soul style?
- ALT 2
... that according to journalist Piet Levy, on Hope in Front of Me, former American Idol contestant Danny Gokey abandoned his previous country music sound in favor of blue-eyed soul?
- I've revised the hook to be more nuanced. There are two versions I've listed above.--¿3family6 contribs 23:18, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
Approve for ALT1 – I think the second draws more attention to the journalist than is warranted (changing the focus from the album to a comment about the album). SFB 10:07, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
