Prerelease tracks, “Consider the Stars” and “Is He Worthy?”, are available now on streaming services everywhere. So I have decided to have a quick listen.

For all who don't know, The Getty’s music is sung by over 100 million people in churches each year throughout the world. In 2017, they established the Sing! Movement to encourage families and churches towards deep theology, timeless artistry, and vibrant worship.

Keith Getty OBE says, “Evensong, is a project born out of a family tradition. We close out our days with a time of reflection in thought, song, and prayer. This collection of hymns and lullabies features a mixture of many of our daily emotions that help us redirect the mind and the comfort of the heart.”

The vocals on 'Consider The Stars' are beautiful, I mean really beautiful, they are hushed and even on the verge of being a lullaby, but also so powerful at the same time. I love the melody line in the verses as well. The song uses the vocals and atmospheric, soft music so well - it's a joy to listen to over and over again.

The track 'Is He Worthy' is a kind of question and reply song, with the children answering in reply, which at first caught me off guard, but capturing a tender parent and child moment exploring God is really lovely and not like anything I have heard before.

I read about the album and these songs that, “These are lullabies and hymns we have sung to and for our own children,” says Kristyn Getty of her four daughters. “Singing God’s truth into both the more tender and vulnerable moments of the day has been a centerpiece of raising our own kids". And once you hear these songs you can see why they are so excited to release such an interesting, intimate and powerful project.
