Reviewed by Heather Richardson
Soft pop and worship songs from a Hertfordshire-based group, this album has a range of styles and foci. I especially liked the song "Trade Justice" written by Ben Connor with its contemporary sound and clear message. "Healing River" by Rachel Appleyard is sung with a flowing ripple-like rhythm that soothes and restores your soul. "Broke The Chains" by Ian Livett has a lovely upbeat rhythm but the lyrics are not so clear. "If My People Pray" by Phil Le Cheminant has a lovely arrangement for the violin which sets the tone for the song based on 2 Chronicles 7v14 which builds to the chorus with the declaration that we know God hears us. "I Love To Love" is gentle and singable and sums up the heart of the group.
