Overall, this is a very enjoyable album. I only see myself skipping 3 or 4 tracks…and I frequently skip tracks.

My Soul Yearns by Vineyard UK Worship (get it on Amazon)
Vineyard UK Worship gives us a CD full of space. There’s a Coldplay-like ambience throughout every track–featuring reverby guitar work and floating vocal melodies. If you’re looking for memorable, catchy pop songs, this probably isn’t the worship CD for you. If you’re looking for some music to fill your bones, check it out!

You Are // I Am by River Valley Church (get it on Amazon)
Decent worship CD. Good energy with an occasional song that would be great to incorporate into your worship sets. Think Hillsong United mixed with Philips, Craig, and Dean.
