Luminate Discuss First Full Length Album 'Come Home'

Dec 27 2010

Pop/rock band Luminate release their first full-length album 'Come Home' on 25th January 2011 following a successful self-titled debut EP in 2010. Produced by Paul Moak, Ed Cash and Ben Glover, 'Come Home' opens with the compelling lead radio single and title track that has received significant national and regional aiplay in the US.

"We were writing the song 'Come Home' about a relationship I was in," says Luminate frontman Sam Hancock, "but the further we went with the song, the more I realized the song was not about her, but about me! I was the one that needed to 'come home'. I realized I was avoiding my destiny and the call on my life. I lost the original vision and was pursuing fame. A little bit of recognition and I started building my own empire under the guise that God was using me, when in actuality my light was growing dim. It was then I realized that I had to exchange my broken empire for my part in the Kingdom of God, the kingdom that will never fail."

The album continues with a set of worshipful, emotion-filled songs that draw from personal journeys of overcoming fear ('Hope Is Rising'), fighting apathy ('Innocent') and finding hope, peace and purpose in Christ ('New Beginnings').

"All my insecurities are on this record and they are not hidden in any artistic, poetic way," says Hancock, "Our hope is that we’re not the only ones that deal with this stuff over and over, so we'll share our stories to spark something in others. We all have a purpose and destiny in the kingdom of God," continues Hancock. "We have to choose to be a part of it. And we want everyone to be a part of it."
