Heath occupies a unique place in the Christian music scene in that he gigs and records both as an acoustic singer/songwriter and as a hip-hop artist. (Long in the tooth Cross Rhythms radio listeners will remember hearing "Chalk Outline" back in 2010.) Here are seven songs of thoughtful lyrics, exploring life and its meaning in the title track, analysing if "we are accident or a product of intelligent design" and asks "what happens when two things collide." Guests on this 2016 release include Krum on "Warning Sign" (sounding like a Sting song in places!) and female folk pop singer Jetty Rae. The outstanding track for me (amongst tough competition on the mini-album) is the atmospheric "Endure The Night". Repeated plays deliver rewards every time, resulting in a special listening experience.
