The folk worship group whose homemade praise stirred hearts and stomped feet across the globe, have put together their favourite songs into this, their new mixtape.
Putting together songs from across their journey, from recording in a living room to touring America, this album covers the range of Rend Collective's authentic worship. This album features songs from their award winning studio albums, 'Organic Family Hymnal' (2010), 'Homemade Worship By Handmade People' (2012) and 'The Art Of Celebration' (2014).
It only feels like yesterday we were hearing the new and fresh sounds of The Rend Collective Experiment (as the band where known to us in the older days) for the first time. This young group of singers and musicians seemed to have this new sound that was infectious. The band came with an excitement to worship in a creative and exciting way. Their first album Organic Family Hymnals was just that, something exciting but also so deep and powerful.
Since that first album so much has happened for them. They have gone from strength to strength and produced some of the most exciting music in decades, toured American and managed to produce quality album after album.
We now move into this mixtape album, which kind of feels like a pick n' mix of the best work from the first three Rend Collective albums. What a wonderful pick n' mix it is. The album flows with one amazing song after another, from 'My Lighthouse' to 'You Bled' to 'You Are My Vision' to 'Build Your Kingdom Here' - there is not a weak track on this collection.
From a personal point of view If I had to pick my favorite tracks, well, 'You Bled' is one of my all time favorite songs ever, the bridge section of "Yes Jesus Loves Me" is just a wonderful moment that I can never tire of. Also when I heard 'Movements' for the first time, it was the song that made me fall In love with this band. 'Alabaster' is a stunning song, and of course who doesn't love the powerful track 'Desert Soul'. These songs are authoritative and compelling worship music from the heart and soul.
Another favorite tracks of mine might be a bit of a dark horse for some. I'm so happy this track made it onto the album. 'Exalt' for me seemed to be one of those songs that was edgy and a little bit different at the time that really caught my attention.
I'm sure if you have seen Rend Collective live you will know how amazing they are in that setting. And I'm sure you will already have your favorite Rend songs, and I bet you those tracks appear on this album. You might love the song 'Second Changes' or 'More Than Conquerors' - those songs are also on this super 14 track album.
This Mixtape sums up the first three Rend albums perfectly. These tacks are all the original studio versions of the songs. Interestingly there is no Campfire versions of these songs. These are the original versions from their respected albums. If you are looking for the best of the best Rend songs together, then this album is the one you have been waiting and looking for.
Now we wait in anticipation for the next album from Rend Collective. I'm sure it's going to be fantastic and creative as all Rend Collective albums have been. Yet for now get this fantastic collection is the definitive Rend Collective greatest hits... so far.
