Album Review ~ Upside Down By Long Hollow WAVE

Published by

Category Religious/Christian Genre Christian/Contemporary/Pop Release Date August, 2017 Rating 4.5 Stars Review Long Hollow WAVE’s Upside Down opens with the amazing and catchy You Are My Revival, ushering a mode of praise with danceable tunes that inspire feet tapping, head nodding, and hand clapping. The lyrics of Upside down, clearly, are lovingly put together to tell a love story between God and the person who loves Jesus (as witnessed in song #3, The Name, and others). Upside Down breathes joy and worship for God while fearlessly declaring God’s love and faithfulness. Interestingly, this album displays a sumptuous blend of contemporary praise, worship, classic pop and R&B (of which, songs of the latter two groups appear to be something straight out of a pure deluxe album), a unique flavor that is altogether quintessentially fresh and refreshing! There’s a soulfulness to the R&B that rings deep and true so that they sincerely present as the love songs truly intended to bless God’s heart.   About Long Hollow WAVE Long Hollow WAVE is a worship band and ministry …
