A delicious, bubbly, effervescent concoction, produced by Matt Redman, mixed by Zarc Porter and featuring more Top 40 influences than a chain of Our Prices, this is another engaging example of how the British Church's move to make songs of faith relevant to today's youth is paying off. There are four-on-the-floor stompers, slinky pieces of R&B and heaps more while in Beth Vickers (sorry, I'll say that again, Beth Redman) the group have a lead singer who can come on the soul diva one song and portray a pure, pop innocence the next. Also effective are Glen Ross's punchy raps - the gifted lad was underused at Refresh - while the songs, largely written by Beth and Matt, have hooks a plenty. With the full force of Soul Survivor behind them, clearly Storm are going to do some serious business for the King in the months ahead.
