Brandon Bee is a man of many talents. The worship leader, ordained pastor, producer and co-founder of Save The City Records also carries the role of a singer/songwriter, and he is gearing up for his first release since 2011's Inside These Walls.
Songs From the Sky, Brandon's EP release on June 2, was written and recorded during a time he spent living in Milan to be part of what God is doing in the European worship music scene. Created in response to an electrical storm that destroyed the hard drives that held files for his third full-length record, this EP digs deep into Brandon's prayers after such a devastating experience. "This EP is a response to all that God did in me while my family lived overseas in Italy. I hope they are a blessing and an instrument for you to respond to Jesus," Brandon shares on his heart behind Songs From The Sky.
Sonically captivating "Comforter" opens the album with a powerful declaration of who Christ is, leading into worship-focused "I Give You My Whole World." With a voice and style that grabs the attention of listeners, piano-carried "Activate" is a call for the love of Christ to awaken us.
Displaying Brandon's smooth vocals, "Your Name Says It All" fits well in a congregational worship set with its praise-centered lyrics. Another beautifully-written track, "Remain," sets an atmosphere of worship and gratitude: "Your kindness draws me in / Your mercy covers me / For all You've done I am thankful." Mellow "I Celebrate The Lord" praises God for His faithfulness and goodness before bringing the EP to a close with a live version of "Your Great Love."
The Bottom Line: Fans of the inviting worship style and strong voice from artists like Phil Wickham will find an enjoyable listen with Brandon Bee's Songs From The Sky. While the seven tracks on this EP don't vary too much in their sonic landscapes, they're still engaging worship anthems for the church, welcoming Brandon back to artist side of his career while displaying potential for the future.
