This punchy debut EP comes from a worship team based at Life Church in Folkestone, Kent. Writing their songs from their hearts, lives and experiences, the band have produced a good sound in a well packaged EP. Listing their influences that include U2, Coldplay and the Stereophonics, Lifted's four tracks are neat cuts which show a wide breadth of style with some sensitivity in that the songs "Captured" and "Be My Rescue" are slower in pace than the arresting opening title track and the punchy "Never Be The Same". Practising hard to hone their talents and lifting up the name of Jesus in their local monthly event The Source, Lifted do what they say on the sleeve: they lift up Jesus. They also uplifted this listener.
