Mack Brock, founding member of Elevation Worship, left the ministry in 2017 after being a featured vocalist for almost 10 years. His first solo release 'Greater Things' was released last year, this is the follow-up, an EP of five songs. The opener "I Am Loved" fits comfortably into the anthem category at over seven minutes and still manages to engage the listener despite the potential of losing attention. "Still In Control" is an outstanding track asking the honest question 'How can I say it is well/When my voice can barely speak/How can I sing you a song in the midst of suffering?' "King Of Heaven" is the only real upbeat track here and like the opener, could easily get to many churches' congregational worship. The title track, which unusually is the last song here, features another ex-Elevation vocalist London Gatch and fits into the same music mode of their EW days. This puts the collection in a similar category which is already full of contenders. However, this is a high quality release that should be heard.
