Reviewed by Stephen Luff

Indian-born Christina has released nine albums but since her relocation to Lakeland, Florida has had to begin her music ministry all over again. 'Lord Of All' was produced in Nashville by Phil Naish (Stephen Curtis Chapman, Point Of Grace) and is a pleasant, though hardly distinctive, set of inspirational soft pop songs. The second track, the ballad "I Can See Now", reflects a heart for mission and having a heart for people, possibly gained as she co-founded a mission organisation with her husband. The title track is the first single; the song could be described as dramatic with its build up in the chorus. The album is too ballad heavy with little variation in arrangement, playing it safe but failing to excite this reviewer. There are a few interesting moments such as "Beat Of My Heart" reminding me a little of J-Lo in her gentler moments but overall stronger material and more imaginative production will be needed if Christina is to find a major US audience.
