POP GOES THE ARTIST (STEVE DUFF)
By RENEE JOHNSON

Steve Duff is no stranger to pop. He’s recorded 6 CD’s already. His 7th CD will “Stick” in your mind as a great pop worship CD. The blending of Steve’s smooth voice, dexterous fingers on the keyboard and the rest that make a pop CD harmonize to form his very own unique style.

Steve Duff’s previous albums include “Short Stories of Praise,” “The Black Album,” “Against the Moon,” “Oceans in Motion,” “Ancient Crimes” and “Prophecy Checks.” After recording more than a couple albums, Steve wanted to record an album with more meaning. “In the midst of madness stick with what you know is true, to Truth, hope.” Asked what he wants to be best known for, Steve replied, “somebody the Lord could use despite my brokenness.”

Many people wander through life knowing God, but “do you know the Man?” This cleverly written song with a great message lays it on the line: “Do you really know Jesus?” “You come here seeking knowledge, from so many years ago. And you ask me, to remember when your Father’s face would show. But, how am I supposed to live a lifetime, when nothing deeper than His face I choose...So yes, I knew your Father, but I didn’t know the Man. Yes, I knew your Father, but I did not know the Man. Patience was His virtue, and gentleness His creed. He spoke of You so many times, down on bended knee. But, how am I supposed to change a lifetime, would I ever dare to go so deep...But I ask you, to get ready, and I’m beggin’ you to stay. Cause, in the end, there’s only this, one question remains...Well, I know you know your Father, but do you know the Man. Yes, I know you know your Father, but do you want to know the Man?”

What a great witness of the Lord through song! “If you do things on your own, you’ll end up trashed,” said Steve. So get to know the Man! Steve’s favorite Bible verse comes from Proverbs 16:25, “There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.”

“Stick” features 13 songs. Some of the titles include “Will You?” “I Need You,” “Lay Me Down,” “Somewhere in the Storm,” “Lovechild,” “Nothing Left,” “Stick with the God,” and “Give It All Away.” Throughout the album Steve is consistent with staying true to pop music without compromising on great lyrics to keep it a great Christian treasure. “Will You?” speaks of a prodigal finding mercy in God’s arms. “Somewhere in the Storm” features Steve’s voice to the piano singing of God’s love, growing stronger through the storm.

Pop on over to his website and grab yourself a copy of this CD at www.steveduff.com. Trust me, this one will “Stick!”

Remember the last words from the song “Stick with the God” - “But, I will stick with the God, who stuck with me.”
