This is Highlands Worship third full album but with global distribution for the first time. Recorded in Birmingham, Alabama, it features The Highlands Church diverse and highly talented musicians in over 70 minutes of live worship. The team is very large, reportedly over 900 active worship team members and 70 full or part-time musicians on staff! There are certainly some great songs here. "Song In My Heart" is simply beautiful while the keyboard driven "Joy" has a refreshing indie feel. Production sounds modern, aided by mixing from Sam Gibson who has previously worked on Hillsong and Jesus Culture releases. Although this has already been highly successful in the US, reaching number one on the SoundScan charts, 'Jesus You Alone' has a lot of competition from similar sounding live worship recordings.
