Review

Hawk Nelson have a new studio album out titled 'Miracles'. While working on this new album, Hawk Nelson found themselves reevaluating their mission and even questioning their future. According to frontman Jon Steingard, the new LP was the foursome’s “most hard fought record” to date. The struggle originated, ironically, with success. The band’s 2015 release, Diamonds, was arguably one of the biggest of their career, generating a trio of radio hits such as the title track “Live Like You’re Loved” and the nine-week No. 1 smash, “Drops in the Ocean.”

Read More Hawk Nelson have a new studio album out titled 'Miracles'. While working on this new album, Hawk Nelson found themselves reevaluating their mission and even questioning their future. According to frontman Jon Steingard, the new LP was the foursome’s “most hard fought record” to date. The struggle originated, ironically, with success. The band’s 2015 release, Diamonds, was arguably one of the biggest of their career, generating a trio of radio hits such as the title track “Live Like You’re Loved” and the nine-week No. 1 smash, “Drops in the Ocean.”

Crafting a follow-up after such a steady stream of wins proved unexpected challenges in the midst of personal change for the band. In the three years since Diamonds debuted, guitarist Micah Kuiper got married; frontman Jon Steingard and his wife welcomed their first child, Grey; along with his passion for drumming, David Niacaris took up a new hobby of photography; while bassist Daniel Biro endured health complications that sidelined him for three tours. In many ways, both personally and professionally, the journey leading up to Miracles has been one of surrender.

Hawk Nelson are back, and back with a great album, and it opens with a stunning pop tasting happy track in 'No Such Thing.' This song has an upbeat vibe that drew me as the listener in from the off. I have always felt Hawk Nelson have made current sounding albums. They know what is being listened to by the majority of people on a regular basis and manage to produce that sound in their releases.

There are so many amazing songs here and I highly recommend it as an album. The amazing 'Parachute' is a beautiful song. 'Never Let You Down' is a stunning pop track, and I suppose this is one of the ways to explain an album like this. It’s a great pop/worship record, plain and simple. That’s the biggest compliment I can give Hawk Nelson. Keep pushing forward guys.
