Faithsongs' mission is to create awareness and connect people to causes worldwide. Each CD released, partners with an active social aid organization along with a call to action through Music. Here they partner with Forgotten Shirts.com supporting cotton farmers in Uganda providing employment. There is information contained on the disc about their work. Song wise the disc contains tracks from singer/songwriters Rachel Chan ("Go"), Nicole C Mullen ("Kingdom Come") and Cindy Morgan ("Praise The King"). Worship bands such as Gateway Worship with the anthem "Victorious" and Everybody Worship "You Are Incredible" are also present. To me the album highlight is gospel artist Anthony Evans with "Fighting For Me", with its warm vocal delivery and in conjunction with the album, lyrically the most connected to the cause. The compilation took a little while to grow on me mainly due the wide range of artists and styles, but it's good to see a project like this in the marketplace.
