Philip has been leading worship at London's Kensington Temple for the past 10 years and has enlisted the musical support of Nicky Brown and Mike Haughton and the production and arrangement skills of Paul Field for this accomplished and relaxing set of easy listening worship songs. There's no doubting that Philip has a fine voice, but it never really gets to be stretched too much during a repertoire that ranges from classics such as "The Lion And The Lamb" and Tommy Walker's superb "Lord I Believe In You" to trad workouts such as "Count Your Blessings" and the "Ode To Joy". Ultimately, I'd like to see Philip put together an album of originals to really put his voice through its paces, but as it is, 'Saviour' fulfils its purpose adequately without ever quite reaching lift-off.
