Listen with Faith and Wonder Posted March 17, 2024 By KevinDavis_NRT, Staff Reviewer
What You Need to Know Following a five-year wait after her album Faith and Wonder, hearing new music from contemporary artist Meredith Andrews is exciting. These new live worship songs showcase Meredith's gifts as a songwriter and her shimmering, emotion-laden voice. Meredith has consistently impressed me with her mature faith and sincere desire for God's presence and to see His kingdom on earth, which is found in every song. Each track on her latest release, Heaven’s Frequency, proclaims her dependence on God, which stirs my heart, mind, and soul to bow before Jesus with the reminder, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
What it Sounds Like From the beginning, Meredith has wanted to make music that matters beyond entertainment and popular worship music's parameters. She strives to be a listener first, then to create music that reflects the Gospel and communicates honest experiences freshly and artfully. Meredith takes the listener in with her confessional and prayerful vocal style. Give these songs a few deep listens, and you'll love them all. I hang on to every word; the stirring vocals, prayerful lyrics, and musical arrangements are breathtaking. The song “Always Do” has quickly become a prayerful anthem in my daily devotional time with the worshipful lyrics, “You’ll come through, You always do.”
Spiritual Highlights The songs “The Lamb, The Lion, The King” and “No Weapon” take me to the throne room in heaven. I love how prayers and songs of praise are a communal experience that we can all share. I think the Lord wants us to long for heaven. When the Holy Spirit has indwelled us, we have a personal relationship with the comforter and a peace that surpasses understanding, knowing that this fallen world isn't all we live for. “Always Do,” “Heaven’s Frequency,” and “What He’s Done” also stir worshipful responses to our savior, reflecting the blessed hope of someone who understands the Good News of grace.
Best Song “Let Everything” is best described as an upbeat, empowering anthem to sing over ourselves and against fear, worry, and anxiety. Meredith sets the tone with this song with a striking message that stays with you throughout the day. This song is an excellent companion to sing over your life. The moving, worshipful lyrics of “Always Do” take me on an emotional journey that causes me to excitedly sing along with the stirring lyrics every time I hear the song. “No Weapon” is another standout worship ballad. My favorite is “The Lamb, The Lion, The King.” I’m deeply moved by the lyrics, “You are, and You always will be/The Savior of the world who gave everything for me/The One all of Heaven calls worthy/The Lamb, the Lion, the King.” With everything we’ve gone through these past few years, this song provides a glimpse of the attributes of God that He wants all of us to experience as His children.
Final Word Heaven’s Frequency is a spine-tingling female-led worship album, and these songs are entirely anointed, Spirit-led, and emotionally captivating. Meredith sings with a fantastic passion, with unashamed praise and gratitude to our savior, who is very inspiring and emotionally moving. Her songs are poignant and powerful, with earnest, worshipful lyrics. This album is filled with overwhelming biblical truth; these songs are all companions in my prayer and worship time. I'm especially moved by the prayerful songs “Always Do,” “The Lamb, The Lion, The King,” and “No Weapon.” These songs proclaim my heart's cry to worship Jesus. You’ll want to join in with Meredith and praise the Lord.
