In the world of Messianic worship music, Karen is undoubtedly one of its most popular practitioners. This new set offers 13 praise and worship songs sung in a mixture of Hebrew and English. This is Messianic praise brought well into the 21st century with driving bass lines and expansive synth and orchestral fills. From the opening "Overture" to the upbeat "All Of Creation Sings", softer and piano led "Ana Adonai" and instrumental "Lord Of Breakthroughs" there is plenty of variety in both pace and arrangement style. Karen's voice is rich and full and never sounds harsh or out of place even when switching language in the middle of a song. The songs are well crafted and the contemporary arrangements bring out their strong melodies. An album to bring the listener into a place of worship even if Hebrew is not their language.
