Seasons Album Review Posted July 03, 2025 By JJFrancesco_NRT, Staff Reviewer
What You Need To Know Full of meditative joy, bright instrumentation, and driving rhythm, Seasons is set for digital release on July 11, following a strong radio campaign this summer. The radio single will appear on an upcoming album of remastered fan favorites from contemporary artist Jordan Merritt's growing catalog.
What It Sounds Like I first heard Jordan Merritt at the WeLove Christian Music Awards, where he performed his hit song, "Scary." That song makes an appearance here in remixed form. The song boasts a powerful anthemic chorus that is sure to live rent-free in your head all summer long. It's such a lively and vibrant song that it makes an excellent soundtrack for many summer activities.
Most of the album consists of remastered cuts from Merritt's first two projects. Two new songs, "Joy" and "Seasons," serve as highlights of the album. The title track starts slow but slowly evolves into another signature Merritt earworm of an anthem. "Joy" is a jubilant way to start the anthem and surely fills your heart with joy.
With strong dynamics that elevate Merritt's music, whether he's belting out a rousing chorus or strumming a gentle acoustic hook, this album offers a diverse range of musical flavors.
Spiritual Highlights Merritt's positive outlook permeates many of the songs. Album highlight "Lack" offers a clever personification of our lack and the potential we have in Christ. "What I know about lack is that he'll get there/you just gotta give him time." "Scary" is a testament to how God will be with us through whatever trials we go through and that we're never alone. Merritt's background in worship music also lends itself to the vertical nature of many of the tracks.
Bottom Line Jordan Merritt's album demands attention and repeat listens. Please keep an eye on him, as he is poised to become a significant voice in Christian music from now on.
