The best thing that happened to Chris Daughtry was not winning American Idol. Since Daughtry lost Idol he has produced hit songs, chart topping albums and sold out tours. Daughtry is keeping that momentum going and reaching even higher musically with his latest album, Baptized, which was released on Tuesday.

Baptized is a full rock ‘n’ roll album. The sound is loud yet full. Baptized features a complex mix of instruments and Daughtry’s signature vocals.

Daughtry has a way of creating the music that can become the soundtrack to your life. The songs are simple, honest and heartfelt. When it comes to his music, Daughtry is not afraid to stick to his signature style and express what he feels. That is what fans have come to love, he is an original artist and stays true to his fans.

Each song feels like it has the ability to be a breakout single. Every track has passion, energy and soul. The soul comes from the heartfelt lyrics and guitar solos that help to keep the album constantly moving forward.

Stand out tracks include “Wild Heart,” “I’ll Fight,” and “Cinderella .”

Daughtry has already released two singles off of Baptized and both have reached the rock charts. The lyric video for "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll" and the music video for "Waiting for Superman" has already become an instant hit.
