'Take It To The Streets' is a Survivor project which they describe on their website as "an album of mission focussed and outward looking worship songs" and that is certainly what you get. Many well known names pop up on this compilation including Martyn Layzell, Chris Tomlin, Brenton Brown (twice), Tim Hughes (twice) and the man it seems impossible to have a worship collection without: Matt Redman (three times). There's a good mix of styles, from Andy Smith's delicate "Salvation Song" to the rock rap of LZ7's "Start Something" which leads into the R&B pop of BlushUK and Four Kornerz. Delirious? rampage wonderfully through "Paint The Town Red" and Yfriday's "Revolution" and "Forever Over Us" by Onehundredhours are equally energetic and no less impressive. If you are a consumer of Christian music then you probably already own a few of these tracks but there are also some gems on here that you may not have heard before and are worth a listen. Essentially, what you're getting on 'Take It To The Streets' is a compilation of quality Christian worship music that challenges you to step out of your comfort zone and into your God-given mission assignment - which can only be applauded.
