Gospel worship man Noel has been leading worship, writing and recording for over 20 years and has previously released a number of solo albums. However, Noel has recently signed with Integrity Music and this is his first project with them. 'Outrageous Love' was recorded live in London at House On The Rock in Tufnell Park and is a powerful up-beat collection of worship songs. "Rain" is one of those timeless songs that stir the spirit in a powerful way. Having been recorded on previous releases, Noel Robinson fans will recognise it but for those new to his music, this is a classic that is well worth getting to know. "Let The People Say" cranks up the tempo and the fun-o-meter. Containing a tight brass section and an amazing choir, this catchy Afro-Carribean-Gospel blend is sure to get you dancing down the isles! Special mention must be given to the song "You Give Me Life" featuring Richard Butt and written by Noel Robinson and Goziam Okogwu. It is a tender and reflective heart-cry that deeply resonated with my spirit. This album contains a wide range of songs and if you've yet to encounter Noel's music, this would be an excellent introduction.
