This is the debut album of new name Angie. It is nicely recorded at db Studios in Lincoln and produced by Howard Williams, who must be complimented for his choice of musicians and intuitive musical production. Howard also plays keyboards and provides BVs plus writing "So Much More". I must mention drummer Rick Holland whose cymbal work is par excellence. Angie opens with a haunting first verse of the old hymn "It Is Well", which leads straight into the upbeat "God Is My Salvation," which is a superb track. Angie has written most of the songs herself and has already received praise and backing from Chris Bowater for her work. There is a nice balance between ballads and the faster paced songs. Both "No Eye Has Seen" and "The Way, The Truth, The Life" have a natural flow and it would be easy to introduce them into your local fellowship's worship catalogue, as that is surely where these songs originate from - the heart of a worshipper. Angie's voice has the power of someone who has grown up through the '80s clubs and is reminiscent of early Sheila Walsh; although when I first heard her singing I thought it was Verity from ITV's the Xfactor! Her voice has depth and clarity which really brings out the best in worship songs. A real standout is "The Church That I See", a truly prophetic song.
