Irish Contemporary Christian Singer/Songwriter Angela Mahon has released her fresh new 5-song EP of heartfelt inspirational worship songs titled 'Towards the Light'. Engineered and mixed by Grammy Award winning Producer Dom Morley, the EP features the single 'Break Free' that Angela released last year.

The 'Towards the Light' EP tells the personal and autobiographical story of Angela's conversion journey. Living a miserable hell is how she describes the darkness that once consumed her every thought.

Read More Irish Contemporary Christian Singer/Songwriter Angela Mahon has released her fresh new 5-song EP of heartfelt inspirational worship songs titled 'Towards the Light'. Engineered and mixed by Grammy Award winning Producer Dom Morley, the EP features the single 'Break Free' that Angela released last year.

The 'Towards the Light' EP tells the personal and autobiographical story of Angela's conversion journey. Living a miserable hell is how she describes the darkness that once consumed her every thought. Completely lost and depressed, with no sense of identity or self worth, things got worse when she fell into hard times with an injury to her back that left her ill for two years and in terrible anguish and distress.

The EP's title track 'Towards the Light' explores the new direction of Angela's life, the joy of being led by the Holy Spirit, living a life free from darkness, depression and with a new sense of identity as a child of God. She gained strength on the journey by allowing the perfect love of Jesus to drive out her fears.

What stood out for me on this release is that the vocals are so crisp and prominent on this selection of songs, which in turn shows how amazing Angela's vocals are. These are deep, personal songs, and for me that's how all songs should be, but here we have an amazing vocalist basically writing and signing her deepest thoughts, which can be hard at times but those feelings and themes in the songs can be helpful to the listener.

From a purely musical side, there are theatrical sounds all around this EP, and with her clean vocals and enticing lyrics, this works so well. 'When I Found Love' is a big piano number, and for me is one of the real standout songs here.

Overall this is a solid and personal EP from Angela with the star of the show for me being the vocals themselves, but also what you get here is a raw, personal look into the songwriter's heart. Fascinating and delightful.
