Lincoln-based David is billed as a "new up and coming worship artist" and this is his first EP. His backing band play well and I liked the addition of electronica which beefed up the sound. Having said that, I must observe that David's voice is a bit unusual and unfortunately the lyrics are hard to pick up in the mix - over time he may grow in confidence behind the microphone. Leanne Corlett sings clear backing vocals and the project would benefit from her being granted a more prominent singing role. The lyrics (available from his website) lack a sense of maturity for the most part. Good intentions are lost in poor grammar, cliché's and confusing sentence structures. A committed writing mentor would greatly boost the accessibility of the songs for a wider audience, from both theological and congregational perspectives.
