If you haven't already heard the rumbling from Down Under, now's the time to introduce yourself to Reuben Morgan's U.S. debut, World Through Your Eyes. It leaves the definite impression of a seasoned, yet modernly viable face from Australia's Hillsong church. Having spent years honing the craft of songwriting and owning the weekly responsibility of leading worship under mentor-friend and fellow Aussie Darlene Zchsech, it is impossible to spin without hearing and remembering.
Contemporized gems - "My Redeemer Lives" and "I Give You My Heart" resonate firmly beside the aggressive pop-laden hooks of "All the Heavens" and "Hear Our Praises," new melodies that will undoubtedly end-up repeating throughout radio stations and churches nationwide. Creatively sensible production carries the songs from start to finish, giving the record a level of entirety and wholeness unusual in today's musically sporadic market.
