Many artists are driven to achieve and perform by a love for music or a desire for fame or reward through their talents. It is a less common situation, however, when an artist creates music for a more selfless purpose, out of a belief and faith in the forces that have shaped them. Christian singer/songwriter Karli Bonne dedicates her music and her passion to the forces that drive her to perform and to live, carfting melodies and lyrics around her spirituality and her love for God.

Now Karli has released a new CD, Angel Without Wings, giving listeners her honest messages and her beautiful songwriting in an album dedicated to her faith and her passion for music. The record, written entirely by Bonne (with the exception of Psalm 93), is her second full-length recording and holds not only her beliefs, but excellent songwriting technique and her powerfully moving voice, as well.

The title track of Angel Without Wings opens with a mysterious Middle-Eastern groove, transforming into a techno feel accompanied by layers of Karli Bonne's clear vocals and a driving style that hooks a listener from the downbeat. Contrasting the feel from the first track is the fifth, My Serenade of Love, a traditional Christian song with a light drumbeat and a uplifting feel that perfectly compliments the echoing sounds of Bonne's melodious voice.

While most Christian albums create the kind of elevating emotion found in Angel Without Wings, Bonne's record is remarkable in the number of styles that she uses to deliver her messages and and her music. Ranging from techno beats to classic religious forms and even a hard-edged, driving rock groove, Angel Without Wings doesn't stick to one musical medium in offering to listeners. "Simply Serene", an inspiring techno piece with a choir-like chorus and an energetic underlying pulse, showcases Bonne's silky voice and powerful mwssages of faith.
