Kate Stanford - King of Angels Review| Posted December 11, 2022 What You Need To Know
Kate Stanford, a rising vocal star in the world of Christian Music. A native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Kate grew up singing anywhere she could lend her voice. Over the past few years, however, the young artist has been focused on her craft. In 2019, one of her first solo shows was an opportunity to open for Jaci Velasquez. In 2021, she released her first Christmas EP.
What It Sounds Like
Kate Stanford brings a gentle and earnest voice to some classic Christmas hymns in this festive EP. Sandford's voice brings a very angelic quality that would feel at home in many Churches. Her rendition of "Joy to the World" comes alive in a unique chorus that helps make the song her own. All of Sandford's offerings here play with these oft-covered carols in ways that help them feel unique. Whether it's using another song as a bridge or tweaking the melody to renew focus on the song, it helps the EP's trim track listing capture your attention well.
Spiritual Highlights
With the EP being entirely renditions of standard Christmas hymns, the faith themes are fairly obvious. While the songs may be so common to our ears that their often profound statements of the newborn king often get muddled, sometimes it just takes a new voice to get us to meditate on them a little bit closer. Whether it's the intimate longing for our savior of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" or the wondrous joy proclaimed in "Joy to the World." In a world of rocking around Christmas trees and simply having a wonderful Christmastime, sometimes a little "Heaven and nature sing" can be just the reminder we need.
