Can it really be over six years since the first Hillsong children's album, 'Superhero', was released? In that time Hillsong Kids have established themselves as one of the most valuable and popular resources used by Sunday school teachers around the globe. The material here is compiled from a total of five albums, so to my mind it is a little early for a Best Of. Nevertheless, the songs here are outstanding for the age group of six to 10 year olds. Contained here are such favourites as "Superhero" illustrating that Jesus is better than Spiderman, Batman and Barbie, "My Number One" and the widely used "One Way". The style is generally a dominant adult lead voice with children backing. An exception is "You're All I Need" which features largely children with a very quiet lead. These are exceptional kids' recordings and this album should introduce them to an ever widening audience.
