 not so sligh August 21, 2008
Sorry to have to say it, but in my opinion this album ain't that great. I was excited to see Chris Sligh's music being sold on the Christian circuit but a little dissapointed in how safe it is played off as being a Christian album. If there are any Christian themes within the lyrics it's very subtle, but it's art and it's whatever you make out of it so thats not really a big deal. But then I was even more dissapointed with the music. American Idol fans might enjoy this record but I personally did not. To me it sounds like a cheesy pop parody of an American Idol soundtrack. It's like the main purpose of the album was to use as background music for the show. I have to wonder if some big shot producer just made the album and told Chris Sligh to sing it giving him no leeway whatsoever. With Sligh's image I was expecting either a punk influenced record or at least something hard rock. I was hoping Chris Sligh would be this big breakout artist who would be a refreshing depart from the mundane pop rock that is out there right now. But Running Back To You is none of those things. Instead, it sounds like an over-produced pop rip off of Daughtry and Kelly Clarkson. Some of the melodies are catchy but that is about it.
Amazing songwriting talent matches his amazing voice August 19, 2008
I've been a Chris Sligh fan since his days on American Idol and was so excited to see his first professionally produced (by Brown Bannister, no less) solo album enter the arena.
The songs are wonderful (every single one!), and I catch myself singing them days after I've listened to the album. I think my favorite is "Empty Me," but I really love them all. And his voice! What can I say about his voice? It just gets me every time.
Some of the songs are favorites of mine that have been remixed from his first album with his band Half Past Forever and have been polished to the point of perfection. (To be honest, I really loved the roughness of the Half Past Forever album and would've been happy even if this album wasn't quite as smooth.)
I hope you will buy this album and I also hope you'll treat yourself to the album by Half Past Forever, which I'd give six stars if I could. The soaring ballad, In A Moment, while wonderful on his new solo album, just makes you want to weep in its original version.

Running Back to You July 30, 2008
This is a good CD for traveling in the car. I'm kind of new to the jazzy thing but this is a good one. I always look for something that I can understand the words and this comes through good.
Full potential July 29, 2008
Loved Chris when he was on Idol but his full "potential" was never revealed by the show. This CD is the real Chris Sligh! Keep going Chris. Put out more of this for us, loved it!!!
 Very good voice July 19, 2008
Chris Sleigh has a wonderful full voice. This CD is a good one to buy if you are a Christain. My only disappointment was that the music seemed too loud. More voice, less loud music would be nicer...but I still loved this CD...It is in my car and is very uplifting...What a wonderful talent this young man is and I hope he can make more CD's
