Soooooo, this week...I have been oversdosing my ears on:
I, honestly (and kinda embarrassingly), hadn't heard anything from him til about 2 months ago...
The first time I'd heard him was when a friend of mine posted up the music video of his for the song "Static Waves" which features Katie Herzig on Facebook. I'd heard, in passing, of Katie before-hand and was interested in hearing what she sounded like....
Now, to be fair, Katie Herzig is amazing, and I'll probably doing a blog on her at a later time, but Andrew's voice and music is what made the biggest impact on me personally at this first introduction.
After the video was over, I did was anyone else would do in this situation...I went to iTunes and bought his entire album, The Ladder.
As one who is partial to acoustic-driven tunes, I was blown away by how effective and amazing he is on both the guitar and the piano. Lyrically covering the different levels of a relationship with songs like: Static Waves, Oh My Stars, Make it Without You and the title track...to the heartbreak that can come with lost friendships in My Oldest Friend, the album is chock-full of lyrics and music that will bring hope, passion, grace and will relate to you in areas of heartbreak, loss, and fear.

"On a ladder from there to here, I'll climb
All this clatter between my ears I find
Does is matter if I can't clear my mind?
There's a right and a wrong time."
-Andrew Belle, The Ladder
