Redman Brings Freshness to Much Loved Songs
Posted July 01, 2024
By BPence,
Coming Back to the Heart is Matt Redman’s twentieth album. It was recorded live at the Beverly Theater in Las Vegas, with stripped-back instrumentation in order to make room for the voices of local worship leaders and singers present.
On this album, Redman reimagines ten of the songs he has written or co-written over the past twenty-five years, with “Better is One Day” being the oldest. In addition to that song, other favorites included are “10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)”, “Heart of Worship” and “Blessed Be Your Name”.
One of the things you will notice is how he creatively combines similarly themed songs as medleys. For example, he combines “Better is One Day” with “Facedown”, songs with the theme of God’s presence, and “Never Once” with “You Never Let God”, songs about the faithfulness of God.
The album also includes “Let Me See Jesus”, a new and previously unreleased song.
I’ve enjoyed Redman’s music for many years. I really appreciated the freshness he brought to these songs. The album will be enjoyed by those familiar with these songs and Redman and those just being introduced to his music. View All Music And Book Reviews By BPence | View BPence's Profile
