Luminate
Come Home (Sparrow)
FOR FANS OF: Revive, Sanctus Real, The Afters
QQQ
Hailing from Tyler, Texas but touring so
steadily that the group amassed a national
fan base, it was only a matter of time
before Luminate signed a record deal. With
the additional visibility comes an all-star
production team of Paul Moak, Ed Cash and
Ben Glover, who helped direct an already solid
modern rock sound laden with worshipful
lyrics of abandon, surrender and redemption.
Besides their ability to instantly relate to
others, these fresh faces aren’t afraid to bear
personal vulnerabilities, especially across the
chant-heavy reflective ballad, “Come Home.”

God Be Praised (Integrity)
FOR FANS OF: Kari Jobe, Hillsong
QQQ
From the beautiful
title track to the
powerful ballad “O
The Blood,” the latest
from Kari Jobe and the
rest of the Gateway
Worship team is
perhaps their best
yet. The release speaks to several facets of
God’s presence, power and grace, giving the
church an expansive and compelling effort
to bring to congregational gatherings.

Level Ground (Integrity Music)
FOR FANS OF: Paul Baloche, Vineyard Worship
QQ
The thought behind
Level Ground is good,
bringing to light the
idea that everyone is
in need of grace. That
thought, however,
is not enough to
leverage the quality
of this album. The lack of inflection and
originality may cause it to get lost in the
wake of releases from Kristian Stanfill and
David Crowder Band. It does succeed on a
version of Tim Hughes’ “Everything (God in
My Living),” which works with a simplified
vocal and limited instruments.
