'Top Of Our Lungs' would be an apt name for a worship album but in fact is a sampler from EMI/CMG featuring 10 of their pop and rock acts. Highlights include the ridiculously catchy "Holiday" by Britt Nicole, with it's hip-hop feel, albeit somewhat self-indulgent lyrics; the painfully poignant rock song "Don't Give Up" by Sanctus Real, about the way we unwittingly cheapen love and ultimately suffer for it ("another casualty of casual love"); and the title track by Starfield, for its passionate praise and worship. Other artists include the Newsboys, Toby Mac, Rebecca St James, Superchick and Josh Wilson.
