Amazed
By Lincoln Brewster
Though he's been an "under-the-radar" kind
of artist since 1999, Lincoln Brewster is closer to
becoming a household name with his latest release, Amazed.
The California-based worship leader has already gained
significant approval from Third Day, who gave him a
guest slot on the monumental "Offerings Tour."
Now, radio programmers should lend support as Amazed
offers enough exceptional praise-pop to pave the airwaves
for months to come.
To
those still missing the original Sonicflood line-up,
Lincoln Brewster is a strong substitute. Album opener
"Let the Praises Ring" sounds huge via muscular
harmonies and a firecracker guitar solo. The good times
roll in a classic rock way on "Everybody Praise
the Lord," a song that would delight Steven Curtis
Chapman's heavier musical taste á la "I
Do Believe" (Speechless).
Lincoln
Brewster's softer side works just as well; the folksy
arrangement of "Praises Be" and twinkling
first single "All I Really Want" showcasing
his gift for melody plus the in-demand strengths of
award-nominated producer Monroe Jones. Much of Amazed
is more direct modern worship, well done original anthems
("Glory to the King"), and festive cover versions
("King of Majesty") that fits today's Passion
scene. As for lyrical theme--with four of ten songs
having the word "praise" in their title--the
always-popular message of hope and joy is daylight clear.
