CREATION SINGS - STUART TOWNEND

This is Stuart Townend’s seventh solo album, following hot on the heels of the successful ‘Best Of’ and ‘There Is A Hope’ albums. It’s a studio recording with a strongly acoustic sound, drawing on the strong melodic traditions of English, Scottish and Irish folk and combining them with classical, country and gospel influences to create a distinctive worship sound that will appeal to a broad market.

There are instruments that don’t usually make it onto worship albums: alongside the guitars and drums there is double bass, fiddle, accordion and tin whistle, as well as banjo, bouzouki, pedal steel guitar, harmonium.... sounds that set this album apart from the usual offerings that cram the shelves of the worship section of the local store.

So the sound is varied, new and fresh: but Stuart’s commitment to singable melodies and lyrics of poetic and theological depth remains evident throughout this album. As we have now come to expect from the world’s leading worship writer, Stuart delivers a fresh outpouring of great new worship songs. Songs that will undoubtedly prove an invaluable resource for churches of all streams and denominations for years to come.
