"I love you Lord, and I lift my voice to worship you my friend" is the opening lyrics to the album 'Consider' by this American singer which sets the theme and the tone of the songs that follow. Stylistically, 'Consider' is a fusion of many styles including pop, jazz, Latin, and gospel - and I am not convinced that this is the strength of the album or its undoing. The lyrical content touches on God's unsearchable greatness ("Greatly To Be Praised"), and the King of spiritual warfare ("Warrior King"). However, I just feel that the musical content and production has a dated feel. Ys, there iss jazz ("Rest"), Latin ("Cuan Bello Eres") and gospel/rock ("Glorious Throne") but these trackst sound like the 80s version of those styles. Yet, all is not all lost, as there is a hidden gem in the outstanding "Fragrance". Overall though, this set fails to connect.
