Matt Brock is the founding member of |
the |
GRAMMY |
Award-winning |
Elevation |
Worship and has put his signature on such |
modern classics as “ O Come to The Altar ,” |
“ Resurrecting ” and “ What A Good God .” |
Brock left Elevation after ten years back in |
2017 to begin his solo career and his wife , |
Meredith , currently serves as the CEO of |
Proverbs 31 Ministries . |
His 4 th solo release , This Is Holy pretty much |
stays true to the modern pop worship vibe that |
overly saturates the current market , yet this |
collection of newly penned songs brings joy and |
hope into an uncertain world where the church |
and the idea of Jesus is being pushed further |
from the center of culture each and every day . |
The welcoming melody and shining instrumentation of the opening track , “ We Praise the Lord ” kicks off the album in fine style and would serve as a palatable worship opener for most churches .
“ Christ Or Nothing ” is a modern worship rocker featuring a thundering beat and serves as a bold call to the Body of Christ to live with holy abandon for the God who gave it all for us .
The softer more intimate side of Matt Brock comes through on tracks like the faith-building , “ Time and Time Again ” and “ I Will Exalt You ( This Is Holy )” which is a gorgeous and humble song of vertical worship .
There are more than a few nice moments of sincere and honest worship on this latest offering from Matt Brock . The songs here are not over-produced and could easily be emulated by most worship teams . If you are a fan of the modern pop worship sound , you will enjoy this album . Overall though , there was nothing out of the ordinary and I would have enjoyed something a little more outside the box from a writer who has proven that he can set new trends and create something fresh and new .

For more than 30 years , worship leader and songwriter , Fernando Ortega has been blessing the local church with meaningful , scripturally rich songs of worship and praise . Ortega is a master of mixing old and new as he creatively blends older hymns and songs with fresh new melodies creating timeless anthems that people love to sing .
It is obvious as one listens to Ortega ’ s newest EP , For All The Saints , that his commitment to preserving the history of hymnody while creating fresh new arrangements for a younger audience is of utmost importance .
The opening track , “ Gloria ” shines as an opener to the five song EP with a rich and full arrangement of the classic hymn that pays homage to the original melody while brimming with new joyful energy and hope .
“ Jesus Bread of Life ” is a tender song that takes a deep dive into the meaning and significance
