Sean G Park describes himself as a TV producer, host, speaker, worship leader and songwriter. He's obviously a busy guy and with more than 20 years' experience, he is serious about ministering in North Carolina and beyond. 'I Bow Down' is a collection of praise and worship songs with a bit of a '90s vibe to it. There are some upbeat moments like "I'm Not Ashamed" which almost runs away with itself and "Seek My Face" with its power chords but somehow it doesn't hold together. The slower numbers are okay but while musically everything is in the right place, the album sounds like the sort of thing that was put out 15 years ago. The songs are okay but in a saturated worship market, even independent worship leaders have to create something that grabs the imagination. There are moments when Park's voice isn't quite on point which is fine in a live setting but not quite enough here.
