She caught my ear on tour with Shaun Macdonald. It takes quite the mixture of vocal creativity and lyrical depth to complement one of today’s more introspective Christian musicians. Alli did just that. Her acoustic renditions of her songs accompanied by her own guitar filled the room. She had genuine fun with the group on stage as they performed some songs together.
When Alli launched her new album for pre-sale on her web site, AlliRogers.com, I ordered. The album is very well made. The vocals are evocative accompanied by soothing instrumentals.
I am replaying "The Things We Can And Cannot Keep" on my CD player. Her music and lyrics are strangely calming and driving. The passion of the lyrics — complimented by the music — communicate the desperation and release of recognizing the surrender of what is temporary for things eternal. Alli goes from a strong chest voice to soft head voice mixing for a pleasant sound.
Each song is well-written and deeply personal, capturing imagination, idealism and passion of a young woman in love with the One she is chasing, but trying to make sense of life. They are sometimes deeply passionate and other times provocatively playful.
The album is available for a remarkable price for this memorable album. Visit AlliRogers.com to listen to tracks and order your copy.
