Alex and Victor Zachariou are two brothers from a musical family who spent their childhood travelling across both Europe and America to perform at concerts. With such a rich musical heritage the boys were able to issue a debut recording at a relatively young age, followed not long after by a second disc, 'I Know The One'. The present album is a 10-song offering consisting of self-penned songs of worship in a soft-pop/inspirational format. It's hard to tell if it's Alex or Victor that dons lead vocals on most tracks, but there's a tender, well-rounded vocal beauty to these songs that gives an immediate and consistent attraction - enhanced as this is by deft harmonies, especially on tracks like "I Need You". A true worshipful flow also attends the album - comparisons might be made to the sounds of Jarrod Cooper or Andrew Mitchell - "I Worship And Adore You" particularly stands out as being eminently adorational; while "Words Cannot Express" similarly works well. The only real issue I have is that lyrics tend to be rather clichéd and predictable - a lack of lyrical inventiveness runs through the 36-minute proceedings. Pity, for this is a clearly talented duo with an obvious heart for the Lord.
