This is the first full-length album from the youth off-shoot of Planetshakers, the Australian worship collective. Previous to its release, five singles have been available, which are all included here. If you are familiar with these songs such as "Lemme Tellya" you will know what to expect, otherwise the first three tracks may be a little overwhelming for the casual listener with its mix of high energy rap, rock and '90s influenced dance on full throttle! Contained here are two live songs, "Praise Over Problems" and the title track, which captures the group in their natural setting - live! There are gentler moments too - the beautiful "I Belong", with vocals that remind me of Lauren Mayberry, is outstanding. However, the album is in danger of losing its musical focus as it attempts to mix so many musical styles which include samba and reggae amongst others. Without doubt, this album addresses the musical status quo of most similar albums and as such should be applauded.
