Music Review and Giveaway: I Will Praise You by Rebecca St. James

0 Flares Twitter 0 Facebook 0 Pin It Share 0 Google+ 0 Filament.io 0 Flares ×

The career of Rebecca St. James gives new meaning to “on the wing of a prayer”.  When Rebecca was only 12 years old, living in her home land of Australia, she prayed a simple prayer, saying, “God, I give you my gifts.  Use my life to make a difference and change the world.”

And that prayer is a description of exactly what has happened.  Rebecca has used her voice and her writing abilities to reach millions.  She has sold millions of album units and authored eight books.  Her live performances have played to thousands of fans.  Also through her concerts she has globally helped find sponsorship for more than 30,000 of the world’s neediest children, as a spokesperson for Compassion International.

If you are familiar with Christian music, you know the group, Casting Crowns.   Producer Mark A. Miller, Casting Crowns, has produced this album, I Will Praise You for Rebecca.  It marks the celebration of her first studio project under a new alliance with Provident Label Group’s Beach Street Records.   Rebecca calls it her “most personal recording to date” and she co-wrote five of the songs on the album.

Rebecca has a beautiful richness to her voice – she sings with strength and beauty.  It reminds me of a clean mountain stream – running fast and clear.  You will find yourself singing along – shouting in the car or shower as if no one was listening.  Well in my case, you hope no one is listening, I have such a terrible voice.  That not withstanding, I love to sing with passion and you can do that with I Will Praise You. Even the slower tracks, like In A Moment, still have a very strong beat and Rebecca brings the same passion to the slow songs as to the more upbeat ones.

You can get a special preview of the CD at Rebecca’s Listening Party, click here.
