For some, Brenton Brown needs no introduction. This album is his best yet. Cool, sophisticated, strong and melodic. I was going to give this album 3.5 but the more I listen, the more it grows. Next week it will have become a 4.5 so let's post the review quick ...

Track one: Receive our Adoration. A crisp, clear call to worship with a strong beat and familiar vocal harmonies. My favourite so far. Guitar, synth and drums, but mixed with care.

Track two: Strength will Rise. Brenton as obviously been reading my "all time top 10" worship tracks. A classic produced with style and clarity. No, this is my favourite. The more I listen the more it grows ...

Track three: You're amazing God. Mid-Atlantic rock. I'm wondering if this track will grow on me too, I like track two better, but then you can't have every track at the top if the list. A bit messy in parts but only compared to the first two. Nice feedback.

Track four: All who are thirsty. Opens with acoustic guitar, strings and synth. Thoughtful and restful oasis between the energy that is Brenton. Come Lord Jesus, come. The clarity of message is remarkable thro each track, as Brenton sings with heart and soul.

Track five: Over all the earth. (Reign in me) What I like about this album is that it has an unusual honesty and simplicity. Its strength is possibly the sincerity with which Brenton delivers both music and vocals.

Track six: Praise is rising. He's definitely looked at my worship playlist. We must be guitar buddies. Hosanna for that. A great track to end on, in strong worship band tradition, uplifting ... and I want to dance ... he finishes on "You are the God who saves us".

Classic.
