    Face Your Fear ups the ante for Harding, bumping him from promising newcomer to major artist, and if you like good songs played and sung with true conviction, you won't want to sleep on this.

    Harding co-wrote each of the 11 tracks songs. They are short on particulars and long on platitudes. Normally that's a bad thing, but Harding makes it work through his relentless expressiveness.

    A few tracks can pass by in a pleasant period fug. Stay with him, though, and the curveballs become more obvious.
