Daniel AMP came strong into 2018 with the release of Dusk Till Dawn. This solid album portrays how the world (including himself) is dark, filled with sin and hopelessly lost. With Jesus’ death and resurrection, however, we have a new light in our life. “Can’t Stop Us” and “Light It Up” featuring Steven Malcolm & Loso are a couple of the stronger tracks.
