It's 2011 and it's time to take a look ahead at another new year of music. So, once again, we're Highlighting our most anticipated projects already in development for the year. Read on to see what records the staff of Jesusfreakhideout.com are most excited about - and why!

	6 of 25   #6. Owl City All Things Bright And Beautiful Release Date: June 14, 2011 Adam Young's music is always so joyful, and his sophomore album with Universal should be another fantastic offering that will grab listeners and not let go.         - Scott Fryberger With his mainstream presence secured and his Christian presence steadily on the rise, it seems that the trap of the sophomore slump shouldn't be a problem for Owl City (aka Adam Young). Adam has told fans to "expect more guitar" on All Things..., and with that said, maybe some more collabs with Matt Thiessen? A whole new sound? Who knows, but it wouldn't be wrong for us to keep our expectations high for what may be one of the biggest records this year.         - Logan Leasure Even if you don’t like his music, Adam Young’s mainstream phenomenon known as Owl City has been a bright spot in music. I’m personally think deeper lyrics would do wonders for his 2011 All Things Bright And Beautiful.         - Nathaniel Schexnayder 2011 will be the year we decide if Owl City has real staying power or is just another pop music fad. My hope is that Adam Young's new album will be another lovely little bit of electro-pop fun that is too happy and catchy to pass up.         - Timothy Estabrooks When you've got a smash hit on the scale of "Fireflies," artists like Owl City aren't going anywhere anytime soon. More new material from the mind of Adam Young does pose some interesting questions as to where he's going to go with All Things Bright and Beautiful, but the result will be an intriguing one, no doubt...         - Roger Gelwicks Once upon a time, there lived a youthful man named Adam Young who enjoyed creating electronic beats and catchy pop sounds in the downstairs basement of his parents' house. Years later, this same young man would become an international phenomenon, touring all over the world and sharing his passion in the process. With his sophomore record slated to release sometime this year, Adam is sure to win over current and new fans alike.         - Laura Sproull Visit our Owl City page for more information about them... 2011 Countdown: 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 ©January, 2011 Jesusfreakhideout.com
