Miles better than its INO Records namesake of 2005, the success of this collection of 12 nearly new worship songs lies in its simplicity. Instead of featuring a myriad of artists and more tracks than you can shake a stick at, Kingsway have employed the services of just four singers (Andreana Arganda, Quintin Delport, Cathy Burton and Marc James) to deliver a handful of top notch cover versions which in turn gives an overriding consistency to the proceedings. Amongst the highlights, Marc James' version of the supreme "Every Man" and his duet with Arganda on the title track give the respective originals by Casting Crowns and MercyMe a run for their money. Elsewhere, Cathy Burton provides a quietly uplifting rendition of Chris Tomlin's "Come Let Us Worship" whilst former MIC and Tribe member Quintin Delport's take on the Robbie Seay Band's "Song Of Hope" sums up this collection's desire to honour the one true God. Only the somewhat bland reading of Chris Tomlin's augmented "Amazing Grace" by Andreana Arganda falls short of the mark. But that disappointment doesn't detract too much from an otherwise quality release.
