notes

Patrick William Sharp's first independent release is a fully produced, ready for radio, genre-bending debut. Influenced by many artist including John Mayer, Sting and Rob Thomas, Patrick offers a plethora of pop and rock tunes.

The disc delivers a solid pop anthem with "Running". "Metaphorically running towards a better place, spiritually" is how Patrick describes the EP's first track. "Running is a response to grace, not a prerequisite." Joe Massa is on acoustic and electric guitar.

The ballad, "You Have My Heart", is the pick hit of the project. "It's cool that people have had such a positive and often times emotional response to a song that means so much to me personally. I guess that some times the most personal thoughts are the most universal."

"Close To You" is a mid-tempo modern rock plea for intimacy. Randall Waller is on lead guitar.

Sounding a little like Jason Mraz, PWS tackles the meaning of life with "Made To Love You". Make sure you hear the two separate bridges that flank the guitar solo by Stephen Leiweke.

"One-eighty" is an apocalyptic brit-pop/punk ditty about repentance. Heavy with back ground vocals, this song is all Patrick all the time (as is "Running"). "Singing multiple harmonies with myself was new and weird...and cool." Guitar work by Jim Collela.

"The most fun I had in the studio was recording "Deliver Me". I got to scream a bit." Some amazing guitar work from Rex Schnelle is complimented by the cool base stylings of Mickey Ryan of the MPK posse.

"Remix: You Have My Heart" = Ear Candy. "The original "You Have My Heart" has this nylon guitar that's always reminded me of Enrique Iglesias' "Hero". I was at the gym and heard a trippy remix of "Hero". I asked uber producer Kurt Goebel if we could do something like that with our ballad." Kurt had worked in Miami Clubs and had become familiar with the Genre. "Kurt cut loose with the Remix."

    This CD captures the sounds of more modern music, but with a christian message. It's fresh and original and not the usual box christian musicians seem to be in. Patrick Sharp's cd is truly one-of-a-kind! I look forward to buying more from this very talented musician!

  • This IS the best CD I own!

    My children sing and dance to PWS! The lyrics have meaning and depth. And, the fact that my son knows the words by heart means a lot to me.

  • A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

    I got this CD as a gift and love it. It is the perfect way to start my morning. I'll be on the lookout for more music from PWS.

  • TO DIE FOR - couldn't love it more
    author: Melissa

    I was on an airplane humming a tune I couldn't place, when I realized it was Patrick William Sharp's "Running." After a quick listen, the song stayed with me, and the same is true for the whole album. Patrick William Sharp's vocals are powerful and emotional, and the CD has a great mix of styles. Put on "One Eighty" for the gym, or "You Have My Heart" to mellow out. Run, don't walk, to buy this CD!!
