Great album| Posted April 20, 2010
Carlos Whittaker has produced a great first worship album. From a guy who started out on a blog and twitter is amazing. I love all the songs on this album.
Mature Lyrics - Honest Heart - Sheer Joy| Posted April 20, 2010
Carlos Whittaker is the face of the hugely popular Ragamuffin Soul blog and has recently been visible for his infamous "Single Ladies" YouTube video.
A fan of modern media and all things Web 2.0, he is an engaging person who has built up a huge fanbase on Facebook, Twitter and , of course, his own blog.
This Debut CD comes hot on the heels of this years EP release and builds on the infectious tunes that were released to wide acclaim.
The album features rich worship-focussed lyrics that give a glimpse to the mature heart of their author and the tunes are always singable whilst not resorting to formulaic sounds.
The quality of this release makes it hard to believe that we have not heard more from him. Let's hope that it gets the coverage and sales it deserves, and that the songs themselves find themselves woven into the fabric of our worship.
