San Diego worship leaders Cliff and Antoinette Murray have been involved in music ministry for years and, with this eponymous five-track EP, the married couple have finally got round to recording their debut release. The Murrays have employed the services of producer/co-writer Scott Mearig and his Dream Worship team and there is therefore a slick feel to proceedings which allows the sizeable vocal talents of both to shine. The prodigal song "No Shame" kicks things off in unadorned fashion with nothing much more than some sparse piano to accompany Antoinette whilst Cliff gets a chance to showcase his vocal range in straightforward modern worship numbers like "The Lord Is Greater" and "We Rejoice". Despite the inclusion of some annoying and unnecessary chipmunk voices, the R&B gospel of "Savior" shows another stylistic side to the Murrays whilst the anthemic "Your Love Is Beautiful" sees Antoinette give a stunning performance to close an enjoyable enough debut from a pair intent on using their musical skills to glorify God.
