Scott Sylvester - Redemption Center
Andrew Ellis

Since hearing award-winning singer-songwriter Scott Sylvester’s recent acoustic EP 'The Unintended EP', I've not only been trying to get enough money together to get over to New York to see his famed live show, but I've also been eagerly anticipating the full-band, full-length follow-up.
Well, I haven't made it over to NY yet, but at least I've managed to get my hands on the new album. 'Redemption Center' is the new release, and it’s even better than I expected it to be. Crammed full of intelligently written and expertly crafted songs, it’s an album of the highest quality from start to end.
CD CoverSylvester’s music is always nothing short of captivating, and with songs as good as the superbly 'Waiting Here for You', the poignant 'It’s Over' and the quite brilliant 'Middle of My World', he never fails to compel, either lyrically or musically.
The excellent duo, 'A Dream I’ve Never Had' and 'Too Much Anger' are resurrected from Sylvester’s previous EP and like every other song here, are given real depth and power by Sylvester’s wonderful band.
Everything about 'Redemption Center' -- songwriting, production and packaging -- is as good as it gets. Clearly, this album doesn't deserve to stay under the radar for long.
