When you consider that the husband and wife veterans have been writing together since 1975 and have in the past penned such classic worship songs as "All Heaven Declares", it's hardly surprising that this six-song set has all the warmth and engaging songwriting craft you'd expect from such tried-and-tested veterans. If you've been following the duo's recent trajectory, you will know that they are no longer penning worship anthems but are instead writing songs suitable for performance in the clubs and bars of their adopted Spanish homeland. As they say on their website, the songs on 'Wonderful' are "all about love and friendship, the joys, sorrows, promises and challenges of loving others and sharing our lives with those we love the most." Deft, understated production from Caroline Bonnet makes for an engaging musical memento for those who have caught one of their occasional concerts.
