"The Elements" Remixes and One New Song
Posted August 29, 2019
By BPence,
The latest project from TobyMac is his fifth remix album. The project includes new mixes of 10 of the 11 songs from his excellent 2018 album The Elements (only “Starts with Me” is not included here), and one new song “Heart of My Beat”. Each song has a different producer and guest vocalist. I’m not usually a fan of remix projects, but this one is pretty good, featuring a few of my favorite artists (Crowder and Matt Maher), some others who are well known (Jen Ledger, Bart Millard, Jordan Feliz, Cory Asbury and Sarah Reeves) as well as some others that I was not familiar with. As with all of TobyMac’s projects, the production is of a high quality. Even with the diversity of producers and guest vocalist, the project has a cohesive feel.
The full track list, with guest vocalist and producer is listed below:
The Elements, with guest vocalist Jen Ledger of Skillet. Produced by Neon Feather.
Hello Future, with guest vocalist Crowder. Produced by DJ Maj Par-T Side.
Overflow, with guest vocalist Bart Millard of Mercy Me. Produced by Willyecho
See The Light, with guest vocalist Jordan Feliz. Produced by RUSLAN.
Everything, with guest vocalist Jonathan McReynolds. Produced by Capital Kings.
I Just Need U, with guest vocalist Cory Asbury. Produced by Tide Electric.
It's You, with guest vocalists Matt Maher and Terrian. Produced by Tide Electric.
Horizon (A New Day), with guest vocalist Aaron Cole (who guested on “Starts with Me” on The Elements). Produced by Stereovision.
Scars (Come With Livin'), with guest vocalist Sarah Reeves. Produced by Neon Feather. A highlight.
Edge Of My Seat, with guest vocalist Cochren & Co. Produced by THUNDERBIRD.
Heart Of My Beat. This is the one new song on the album. The song is produced by JT Daly and written by TobyMac, Daley, Sarah Reeves and Sam Tinnesz. Toby sings that God has been with him every step of the way, opening doors for him and guiding him along His plan. The song has a good beat and memorable chorus.
Key lyrics:
From the start to eternity
You are the fresh air I breathe
You will always be
The heart of my beat, the heart of my…
You put the soul in my melodies
I write the songs in Your key
Yeah, You will always be
The heart of my beat, the heart of my…
If you haven’t listened to The Elements, I would start there, but this new remix project is enjoyable and certainly worth a listen.
