Leeland on the move again!

"I have loved Leeland the first moment I heard them on "The Sound Of Melodies." I was amazed at their talent, music, and the fact that Leeland (the singer, not the band!) was still a teenager! Sound of Melodies had a very passionate, worship feel to it with good music and a wide range of vocals. "The Opposite Way" showed maturity in songwriting and musicianship, and although it may have lost some of the catchiness of the debut album, I felt like it was a step in the right direction for them...With that being said, I feel like "Love Is On The Move" has the best of both worlds. It is catchy, spiritual, and the music is stellar. Once again, they combine British-esque musicianship with soaring vocals and my favorite part about it is the imagery of the lyrics. Songs like "Carry Me On Your Back" which speak of Jesus helping us through storms, "Via Dolorosa" which speaks of Jesus trading his crown for a crown of thorns and dying and suffering on the cross, and my favorite song on the CD "Follow You" (with special guest Brandon Heath) speaks of us recognizing the love that Jesus has given to us and sharing that to the world through faith and deeds - it's a song of showing love and hope to the broken. Amazing! This album definitely did not disappoint, although if I had one criticism, it's that the bass seems non-existent. Whether that was intentional or the mixer's fault, I don't know. But other than that, a truly beautiful, passionate, and spiritual album that begs to be played again and again."
Brilliant!

"Bright, upbeat music; uplifting lyrics combine to make this collection simply brilliant! I can't listen to this one enough. Add this one to your basket without reservation!"
Mellow at first, but awesome

"I didn't really like it all that much when I first listened to it. But after the second, third+ plus I now LOVE it. Much more mellow than the previous album but in a good way. Love Leland."
