This album features some of today's top praise and worship anthems given an adventurous injection of dance, pop and R&B grooves, in a venture aimed at kids aged eight plus - though I'd say the music here is more suitable for dudes in their early-mid teens. The songs are worship favourites from the likes of Brenton Brown, Vicky Beeching and Hillsong, and they really are given a fresh and appealing spin that makes them equally suitable to those well beyond their teens. I love the sensitive serving of Tomlin's "Holy Is The Lord". Or how about a reggae take on Darlene Zschech's "Blessed"? The most inventive programming (c/o Mark Edwards) is on Israel Houghton's "Not Forgotten" and the closing track, but it's all good stuff and the vocals are so cool that the four singers deserve a name call - Delroy Hutchinson, Jenny Jarvis, Tracey Riggan, Aaron Sakell. Nice work guys.
