Dan Smith is a singer/songwriter who is based in the London borough of Hillingdon where he is a worship leader at The Crown Church. On this, his first CD, he gives the listener 10 songs which can be used to praise and worship God in the privacy of your own home or in a corporate service. Getting the show started we have a Matt Redman type song called "With Hearts And Hands"; here Dan invites the listener to worship God completely. There are also pop-like choruses on songs like "By Faith". There are more meditative moments on the CD, "Because You First Loved Me" and "Life To The Full" being a good example of this. This is acoustic guitar-led praise and worship and although pleasant enough would have benefited from a bit better production.
