Album Of The Day: Bright City by Bright City

Album Art of Bright City's self-titled album - On a marble gray background, a thick neon green line cuts from bottom left to top right. Above that, the band name is printed in thick white letters with a dark drop shadow and a light gray inner shadow as well. The empty space inside the uppercase 'BR' are also just white and not cut out like normal.

Released on this day 10 years ago, this is the first album from Bright City, the worship team at St. Peter's Brighton in England. More than most modern worship teams today, this album has a pop/dance feel, though the lyrics certainly are worshipful praise and conversation with God. "Force Field" and "Forever Yours" are definitely dance praise and are really fun. As the songs get a bit slower deeper into the album, it feels a bit more like a normal modern worship album, though there's a very high level of musicianship. This team has many songwriters and worship leaders, so they switch off on lead vocals, which also keeps the songs from sounding the same throughout this album. It's a solid debut from a quality new band, and I hope they are able to continue to make great new music.
