NFN Music Review – VINEYARD WORSHIP : This Joy. (Integrity Music)

This Joy was recorded live in Chicago. The eclectic mix of new worship songs was written by Vineyard leaders, for the Church, and  blends a wide range of influences, from gospel to pop to modern hymns. The first gospel number comes from Tina Colón and Joshua Miller, and is the title track of the album. Complete with choir, hand claps, and a smattering of organ sounds, it would grace any gospel release. The following ‘Sing His Name’ and ‘Padre Nuestro’ are  both powerful songs of worship, while I found ‘The Gospel’ to be rather a tedious plodder. One of the positive things about this live recording is that the production team have decided not to throw countless instruments into the mix, and this works well throughout. A prime example being the guitar led ‘Let Your Song Arise.’ It’s a super song and the music provides the perfect backing. The Clannad-esque ‘Every Moment’ has an atmospheric feel about it, while in contrast, ‘We Come Alive’ is a happy, bouncy pop song. While it’s never going to break new sound barriers, this recording is so much better than a lot of the new contemporary worship albums.   7/10.

NEW INTEGRITY MUSIC RELEASES – 23rd October 2020

Sarah Kroger is a Nashville-based, Catholic worship leader and songwriter who has been on an exciting journey of passionately leading worship for events around the world, drawing people from a variety of cultures and church backgrounds under the banner of Jesus for the past ten years. The artist’s passion is to create a safe and prayerful space through her music in which people can encounter the heart of God in a profound way. Sarah described her experience with new album ‘Light’ as “eye opening”. With it being her first album released through a label, she got to experience new facets of the Christian music community. Whereas her previous albums were crafted alongside Catholic writers, ‘Light’ got her collaborating with mainly protestant writers. The kindness, love and conversations shared through the whole process intertwined the experience of unity and vulnerability at the centre of this project. The album explores our self-awareness and relationship with God. It’s about understanding what leads us to the darkness and accepting the vulnerability of standing in the Light, where we get exposed and purified. With singles ‘Standing In Your Light’, ‘Belovedness’, ‘Monument’, ‘A Thousand Thank Yous’ and ‘Unbroken Family’, Sarah Kroger introduces a soundscape that mixes honesty with courage, pointing to the album’s encouragement of continually staying in relationship with the Lord. As a contemporary worship leader in the Catholic Church, she gives a new language to people’s relationship with Jesus – ‘Light’ is an inspiration to keep saying yes to vulnerability, intimacy and honesty.

RESISTANCE release 4th single ‘À Lui Seul Soit La Gloire’ ft. Yann Kato. This song is a testimony to the greatness of our Almighty God inspired by Romans 11:34-35, “Who has known the mind of the Lord?Or who has been his counsellor?” Who has ever given to God,that God should repay them? For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.”­ We can often give credit to a coincidence, our efforts, or our own strength when in reality all things flow from the grace of God. ‘À Lui Seul Soit La Gloire’ (To Him Alone Be All Glory) is an invitation to reconsider the goodness of God and to give Him the glory He is due. RESISTANCE is a movement involving various young singers and songwriters in the French speaking world.
