Jude: Redemption

Jude released Redemption in the US through CD Baby earlier this month. Relative to his prior albums, it’s a mix of sounds from earlier years that provides Jude with another fresh start.



The album shows the release of tracks that Jude had exercised in his live shows for years now, but chose not to release on Sarah. Those tracks include: “All I Want to Do,” “Love, Love, Love,” “Run to My Room,” “End of My Rainbow,” “Your Eyes,” and “Fly Again.”



In regards to his previous release (Sarah), the album has more upbeat tunes and electric guitars, but still attains a much more charming and down to earth feeling then King of Yesterday. Simply put, Redemption is Jude in his finest form.

I must respectfully decline. While I love the craft of sarah more, the up beat award goes to redemption. don't let end of my rainbow ruin the tone of the album for you. I love this album and it sticks with you. a very good pop record, like king of yesterday,

If you're declining to agree and saying that King of Yesterday is a better album, at least please remember that Jude, himself, despises King of Yesterday as it resembles the corporate (Maverick Records) world trying to taking over his sound.

It is for that reason why Sarah was an independent release. Jude may not runaway from King of Yesterday, but he is certainly much happier now releasing records.
