A Passionate Journey
Like the men on the road to Emmaus, Chris Taylor met Christ
at a time and place in his life when he least expected it, but it changed his
direction and gave him a yearning to follow. This passion eventually led to his
debut album,
Take Me Anywhere, a
swirling and beautiful mix of progressive pop and artistic modern worship.
The lyrics are sincere and better
written than anything you are hearing on Christian radio right now. This is a
guy thinking about things like how God isn’t constrained by space and time and
looking forward to taking a trip with Christ, wherever God wants to take him.
On the sweeping epic “Atmosphere,”
Chris sings, “Show me how to love
profoundly/I want everything you are.” It is this passion for the journey
that fuels the textured and airy opening anthem “Turn Me Around,” with lush and
melodic keyboards and soaring production, as well as the more guitar driven pop
hooks of “You See Through Me”—a song you will be humming to yourself for a long
time after you’ve heard it.
The inspired lyrics and amazing
melodies on
Take Me Anywhere will
sweep you up on a journey that will take you beyond all those other modern
worship and art pop albums out there. This is a record that will make you want
to worship, and it does so it with art and intelligence.
