Review: Whispered And Shouted - Aaron Shust


Reviewed by Mark Vyner
The second album from the US worship leader whose first was an American mega hit. This is one of those worship albums that has the kind of production that makes you want to give a copy to your church worship leaders and get them to learn a few of the tracks. It s very much high energy guitar-driven rock, almost grunge at times, with some standout songs just waiting to be sung in churches. Shust s gravelly voice suits the modern worship style well. The album opens with a huge guitar riff and a song with lyrics taken from all over the Bible (and quoted in the liner notes) with the refrain setting the tone for the album Long live the one who gives us life and peace for tomorrow. Each song has a useful set of notes explaining how it came to be written and what it s trying to say. The third track Create Again is superb, a standout with a great big anthemic chorus that is shouting out to be sung in church! It s a song of response to creation, God of every ....

Review: Seasons - Tori Harper | Cross Rhythms


Reviewed by Tony Cummings
After a period of crisis when the world wide slump in music sales seemed to stymie the US CCM industry, it is now back to what it knows best and discovering top rate church-based young talent, and putting them with the impressive enclave of Nashville s young and hungry producers to make music which connects with America s Christian radio audience. This debut EP from Tori Harper is very impressive I ve little doubt that the 19-year-old will go on to big things. Taking a cue from Psalm 16:11, Joy , produced by Colby Wedgeworth (Jordan Feliz, Mandisa) is already a US Christian radio hit while the title track, overseen by Grammy winner Seth Mosley (For King & Country, Skillet) and Mike X O Conner (Colton Dixon, Brandon Heath), sounds like it, too, will soon be getting airplay. The production throughout is skilfully executed electro pop, Tori s voice is pure-toned and her lyrics uplifting but never clichéd. Yep, Nashville has another potential CCM st ....

Review: The Medicine (Re-issue) - John Mark McMillan


Reviewed by Peter Timmis
McMillan is, of course, best known as composer of the 2005 oft covered classic How He Loves - surely one of the greatest worship songs of all time and included here as a bonus track. The Medicine was originally released independently by the North Carolina native in 2008 and last year received a welcome record label re-release with four additional tracks. The album s Americana vibe may come as a surprise to those who only know of JMM through his worship hit but sceptics will soon be won over by the big choruses, gritty vocals and gripping lyrics on offer here. The title track in particular is a riotous slice of Springsteen-esque rock chock-full of tasty guitar licks. Other highlights include the dreamy Carbon Ribs ; the tender and melodic Death In His Grave and Dress Me Up with its powerful repeated refrain of the line His love is stronger (than the power of death) . If you re yet to catch onto this versatile songwriting talent then The Medic ....
