When he was bumping and grinding as a member of definitive boy band the Backstreet Boys, it would have seemed unbelievable that Brian Littrell would one day emerge as a Contemporary Christian pop artist. However, that's exactly what's happened, as evidenced by his solo debut album, WELCOME HOME. With lush arrangements that largely eschew rock and R&B leanings for a straight-up pop approach, WELCOME HOME also makes it clear that the other secret weapon that's been in Littrell's possession all along is a huge, soaring voice fully capable of making him a solo star. Packed with emotion-drenched paeans to faith, Littrell's first album makes a big footprint in the world of contemporary Christian music--perhaps even big enough to make new fans forget about his secular past.
