Ansa2 is a worship group that stems from King's International Church in Windsor and, as the title of their debut album suggests, they are on a mission to make the world a better place. Promoting the idea that Jesus is the solution, the folks that make up Ansa2 kick things off in breezy electro pop fashion with "No Limit" which tells of God's unending power and sets the scene for a collection of accessible, mostly EDM-tinged tunes. Whilst tracks like "Chosen By You" and "How He Loves Me" (and most of this release to be honest) aren't terribly deep in terms of theme or lyric, there is an undeniable sincerity to proceedings with the stripped back ballad "We Can Change The World" tenderly telling of how God has worked in the life of the singer. Elsewhere, the dance stomper "Just Trust" deals out some useful life advice whilst the chart friendly "Beautiful Melody" benefits from a cameo by rapper Oola 'Double O' Opiyo. Producers Paul Harding and Phillip Sampson have wisely employed a number of different vocalists - most prominently Massimo Bottaro and Nadia Bramley - to keep this refreshingly individualistic worship offering nice and varied.
