Reviewed by Tony Cummings I cant resist quoting from a review which youll find on the Hallels website: "Alisa Turner has a voice that pulverises. With a striking clarity of a Jenn Johnson, a worshipping lilt of a Darlene Zschech and an undergirding Holy Spirit power of Kim Walker-Smith, Turner makes you stop and worship when she sings." Alisa is no mean songwriter either. The opener "Lift My Eyes" built on the words of Psalm 121 is a gem and will surely get radio play. Almost as good is "Not Ev...

Reviewed by Ewan Jones Something Like Silas aim to break out of the traditional mould of popular worship music - they claim to not be content just serving a "Christian sub-culture" but by jumping headfirst into mainstream audience venues. Despite making their name leading at their home church, Flood, in San Diego, very few of the tracks on this CD would fit too easily into your average Sunday service. However, that is no bad thing - with this release, SLS have hit all the right notes. It is an ...

Reviewed by Stephen Luff This album follows the 2009 EP Courage And Fire, with nine new songs at the same high octane pace, more akin to a rock concert than the Abundant Life recordings of the church it is a part of. This is a positive strength and helps it stand out amongst the many recordings out there. It is evident from the start that the quality of musicianship is very high, the opener "In This Moment", although tame compared to the pace of some other tracks on the album, the souring guita...

Reviewed by Stephen Luff There are many hymn collections out there, varying in both quality and style. Here we have 12 re-workings of these classics with arrangements which take in pop, Americana and a bit of modern country. The first cut is Edward Perronets "The Sound That Saved Us All" sung by songwriter and producer Antony Skinner (sounding like Springsteen in many ways), is a great opener and sets the pace for the collection. Savannah Ellis presents George Mattesons "Love You Never Let Me G...

Reviewed by Andy Cooper This is the third major release from the Denver group based around Michael and Lisa Gungor, and is recorded live without any additional editing. As such, the recording is a little rough around the edges, though it captures the atmosphere and honesty of the group admirably, and there are some truly virtuoso performances on guitar, piano, violin and others! The range of musical styles covered by the band is truly astounding and you never quite know what is going to happen ...

Reviewed by Tony Cummings With so much pop little more than empty anthems the latest crop of pretty ones can mime to on TOTP, Natasha Bedingfield is something very different. Those years of dues-paying, singing R&B gospel with brother Daniel in The DNA Algorithm have clearly born fruit for the 22 year old singer. For Unwritten is a delightful, and at times quite brilliant, debut which though not quite as defiantly eclectic as Daniels Gotta Get Thru This still takes in quirky R&B, wistfully lilt...
