Worship at Its Finest

Hailing from New York City, sibling duo citylovemusic seeks to proclaim the Gospel in every song they write. Jonathan Singh and Kristina Plush just released their second, self-titled EP. As a mixture of acoustic and AC worship, this EP clearly conveys their passion to reach the hearts of many with the love of Jesus.
The opening track "Satisfy" is a bold declaration of surrender: "Lord, we offer up our lives / offer up our lives / as a living sacrifice." Ambient synth pads echo the song's longing to be filled with the presence of God. Similarly, the acoustic "Exalt Your Name" is a corporate acknowledgement of God and His majesty, as well as an excellent song for congregational worship.
Covering Hillsong Worship, "Look to the Son" is a high-energy version of the original. On the subject of high-energy songs, the alternate version of "Satisfy," which features Young Noah's rapping skill in the bridge, also contains an added element of hip-hop beats and synthesizers that complement the worshipful lyrics.
Rounding out the EP is praise anthem "Nothing Worth More," which was originally recorded solo by Jonathan before Kristina joined him to form citylovemusic. Building up to a breathtaking chorus, the duo cries out "There's nothing worth more / it's Your Name I will adore / Your love gives me life / Jesus, I will run to You."
The Bottom Line: citylovemusic is the latest and greatest duo to come out of the woodwork in the ever-growing dominance of worship music. These songs of sacrifice and adoration for our Savior will uplift the weary soul and remind the broken-hearted of the victory found in Jesus.
