British based singer Amy Sanders has just released her solo debut worship EP 'The Journey'.   Having grown up on the beautiful coast of North Devon in England, Amy Sanders began singing and writing songs from a very young age. Singing around the house and in school plays eventually led to her honing her gift in her local church as a backing vocalist, alongside her brother. As the years went by she grew quickly in confidence and ability, and bigger challenges and opportunities came her way.

Read More British based singer Amy Sanders has just released her solo debut worship EP 'The Journey'.   Having grown up on the beautiful coast of North Devon in England, Amy Sanders began singing and writing songs from a very young age. Singing around the house and in school plays eventually led to her honing her gift in her local church as a backing vocalist, alongside her brother. As the years went by she grew quickly in confidence and ability, and bigger challenges and opportunities came her way.   

In 2012 she was part of a collective of five young, like-minded friends who wrote and recorded a collection of songs in an attempt to bless their community and encourage their Church. The band was called Nova and their only release (entitled 'Shine Your Glory') was filled with raw energy, enthusiasm, kingdom-focused passion and incredibly honest lyrics, and received plaudits and support from across the world. Nova took part in festivals and events across the UK alongside established acts such as Rend Collective.   Since taking the lead on this project, Amy has been channeling her faith, passion for music and heart for young people into training and equipping others to share their gift of music with their church community and beyond, besides leading worship at numerous youth events across the South West (such as United Generation) and regularly at Grosvenor Church Barnstaple.

Now Amy has released her debut solo worship EP 'The Journey'. 'The Great Shepherd' is a great song with a catchy and lovable chorus - it's an instantly enjoyable song from the first listen. Yet what stands out to me about this album is the vocals of Amy. The song 'You're The Reason' and the stunningly soft and intimate 'We Run' really bring to the forefront how amazing a songwriter and singer Amy Sanders is.

If I had to compare Amy's voice and style to someone else, I would have to put her in the same vain as Lou Fellingham and her solo albums. These are songs that are drenched in an eagerness to seek God, with no hidden agenda. This is worship music from a personal perspective. You just have to hear the closing track 'Ocean Of Grace' to realize this.

Amy Sanders might be a name unknown to you now, but with this release things will soon change. There are some really great songs here to grasp and get into.
