What You Need to Know:
Jared Anderson, the renowned songwriter behind anthems “Great I Am,” “Amazed” and “Rescue,” returns with The Whole Landscape, a 5-song meditation on aspects of God’s healing and restoration. The EP marks Anderson’s first project since signing with Franklin, Tennessee’s Rixon Entertainment Group for management representation.
What You Need to Know:
Jared offers beautiful vocals on every track. He consistently brings awesome lyrics during the astonishing five songs. He masterfully plays the piano in the title track, "The Whole Landscape." From there, Jared brings a modern worship vibe comparable to what we hear with larger groups, Passion and Elevation Worship, to the song, "Heaven Stands Up." "Work of Art" showcases a slow ballad where Jared uses his amazing vocals. "Kindness" includes amazing lyrics and great instrumentals that could be a standout radio single in the future. The EP concludes with "Irresistible," a spectacular track that reminded me of Phil Wickman at his best.
Spiritual Highlights:
Every song brings its own individual tone and message but "Work of Art" stands out as an inspirational highlight. The bridge of the track is really special. It says, "You're beautiful, You’re beautiful, Creating me, redeeming me, You’ll finish everything, That You’ve begun." This inspires us to show that God is beautiful and he created us in his image, redeemed us and that he will help finish what he started in our lives.
Best Song On Album:
“The Whole Landscape" is a can’t miss due to the piano melody and Jared’s beautiful vocals. Jared does a great job encouraging the listener to seek God in every corner of their life.
For Fans Of:
Phil Wickman, Jeremy Riddle, Kirsten Stanfill
Final Word:
The Whole Landscape is an EP that you will keep coming back to. As you sit with the release, you will find the music opens up incredible space for God’s presence to invade your heart. Through his masterfully written lyrics, Jared Anderson really knows how to encourage you to worship God.
