Constant
Produced by Scott Cash (Dan Bremnes) and executive produced by Ed Cash (Chris Tomlin), Constant--Marcus' sixth studio recording--features writing and vocal collaborations from such leading worship names as Paul Baloche and Leeland, among others. Marcus penned or co-penned the album's seven selections, anchored by the touchstone track, "Glory To His Name." Constant also showcases "You Are With Me," co-written with Baloche and nominated for a 2015 Covenant Award; the declaratory "Good To Me" (feat. Baloche); and the title track (feat. Leeland). In addition, the project includes bonus live acoustic renditions of three songs, recorded at a cabin near Nashville.
"I remember looking up at Scott when I was tracking vocals for 'Good To Me,'" says Marcus. "I couldn't see his face but he was sitting with his back towards me, both hands raised. I've never experienced that in the studio before. There were so many moments during the recording process when we were all almost in tears, overwhelmed as we worshiped with these songs."
"My desire is that these songs bless and fuel churches and listeners everywhere with a passion and hunger for being in an intimate and personal relationship with Jesus Christ," he continues. "I pray these songs encourage and remind us that God is constant in every season, trustworthy through every circumstance, and faithful and sovereign in every trial."

Keeping Constant Focus
Andrew Marcus is seeking to draw your attention to the Creator with an uplifting new worship release. Padded a bit by live renditions of some of the songs at the end, there are 7 original offerings here that make effective use of modern trends in contemporary worship. Some guest appearances by worship mainstays Paul Baloche and Leeland also give some appreciated flavor to the tracklist.
Leeland's appearance on the title track makes the song feel like one of his and creates an instant album highlight. "We Are Redeemed" and "Glory to His Name" add to the accessible and engaging worship offered. All of the songs touch on some really interesting musical moments and grasp at some definite potential to transform the songs into classics. What holds them back a bit is a little over-reliance on worship music standards, both lyrically and musically, that keeps things a bit too rooted in the standard sounds expected of the genre.
But there are moments where you can really see a bright future for Mr. Marcus. Be it a musical hook such as on "We Live" or some powerful vocal deliveries in the early tracks, Andrew Marcus has demonstrated ability worth keeping an eye on.
The Bottom Line:...

The Bottom Line: Fans of the modern worship music scene will find new songs for Sunday morning, though a familiar approach limits the overall memorable quality of the project.
