This is the US-based worship leader's second album and features 10 original songs including a couple written by producer Nate Sabin. Brian's voice reminds me a bit of Mark Schultz though Brian's style tends to have more of an edge to it. There's some good songwriting here and some good melodies, "In Rhythm With You" and "Under" being two of the best examples. It's one of those albums that will mature as time goes on - it's not an instant hit-you-in-the face affair so it's worth spending some quality time listening. Lyrically, it's obviously personal to Brian but still accessible and there's a fair bit of creativity in the arrangements. A polished and mature album.
