Dreaming In Color blends the energy and enthusiasm of past Jump5 recordings with their growing personal and spiritual convictions, while keeping in perfect step with the best pop ‘tween’ music around and bringing listeners a message on the importance of being comfortable with who you are and being your best.
Jump5 has remained the visionary force in the ‘tween’ marketplace since 2001, earning thousands of fans and friends wherever they travel. The group – Brittany Hargest, Lesley Moore, Chris Fedun and Brandon Hargest - continues their characteristically passionate pace, now with four members, since the departure of Libby Hodges who left the group this January with a desire to return to being a full-time high school student. "After Libby left we tried working with a “fill in”, but decided that we liked it better with just the four original members, so that's what we're doing,” explains the group.
The members of Jump5 also volunteered more input on Dreaming In Color, according to Brad O’Donnell, Vice-President of A & R, EMI CMG Label Group, “The Jump5 that made Dreaming In Color is a much more confident group than the group which made the previous studio records. Brandon, Lesley, Chris and Brittany are much more involved with choosing songs, choosing producers and creating vocal arrangements. Dreaming in Color is really a reflection of that, and the Jump5 stamp is all over the sound of this record.”
Jump5 is comfortable and welcomed in both church and mainstream settings, with singles presenting well at Christian radio and enjoying a dominant presence on the Radio Disney charts and movie soundtrack including Sleepover, Ella Enchanted, Lizzie McGuire Movie and Kim Possible. The group will co-headline SHOUTfest this fall and headline their second Christmas tour, beginning this Holiday Season.
