Album Of The Day: Hello Maker by Bright City
Released 8 years ago today, this is the second album from Bright City, the modern worship team from St. Peter's Church in Brighton, UK. The lyrics are much like other contemporary praise and worship with songs of to God for church services or other events. However, this album's production is a bit more of a dance-pop sound than your average worship music, and some tracks really get the BPMs up there. "Rock Of Our Salvation" and "Come Holy Spirit" are instant classics, if you ask me, and Martin Smith of delirious? sings lead vocals on the latter song and co-writes on many others. His daughter, Elle Limebear, also takes lead vocals on a few other tracks which she also re-recorded on her solo album a few years later. There's a large group of people on the Bright City worship team, though, so no one person leads the majority of the 10 tracks, and the talented musicians provide a lush, bass-filled instrumental track under the melody. It's an engaging album that keeps the music focused on God and I think it's a bit better than most of those mega-church modern worship bands. I hope they continue to make music.
