Album Of The Day: These Christmas Lights by Matt Redman

Album Art of Matt Redman's These Christmas Lights album - A photo of what looks like small balls of fire dropping from a black sky in a large group, with a glow of smaller sparks near the bottom until the bottom is pretty much all a gold white of burning light. Printed above that is the artist name in a flowing white script-like font, with the album title in white, all-caps, block letters below the name in the center.

OK, the Christmas season is nearly over, so here's my last Christmas album for the year. Nearly all the albums celebrating the Christmas holiday are comprised of carols and other standards. However, on These Christmas Lights, worship leader Matt Redman decides to do something more original. Some lyrics from old Christmas hymns are present, but Matt Redman and team decide to put them to new melodies and write new worship lyrics to go with them. Honestly, I'm not sure it was the best choice for the artist, as many want to hear their favorites along with a few new songs. And none of these songs really keep me singing them days later, unfortunately. But I do think it's not bad and is worth a listen to this album from an accomplished artist who has been doing worship music for over 30 years now and has written many songs that are sung in churches around the world.
