Time for our first spotlight from www.comeandlive.com! Ian McIntosh is a worship leader who has his album “Alive” available to download on the Come&Live website.
“Alive” is truly a breathtaking album. It has a pop-rock feel with a lot of keyboards, epic drumming, guitars, and awesome vocals (some in the highest octave you can imagine). I think Ian sounds loosely like Owl City, but I definitely like this much better with its worship setting and simple constructions.
The album begins with a sweet introduction and then leads into “You Are Faithful,” which sets the tone of the album very nicely. ‘What Does It Sound Like” is a simple song with simple lyrics, but it is extremely powerful and is a great call to worship. After another sweet instrumental, “Come Away” is next (as featured on the I Am Living Vol. 1 Sampler) and shows some awesome talent.
The next songs on the album are sweet with some featuring a female vocalist, but it’s the album’s closer “You Are Holy” that takes the cake. This thirteen-minute opus is epic, creative, and extremely worshipful. It consists of the same lyrics (“You are holy, my so holy, You are holy, Lord of all”) that are done throughout the song, and it is something that you have to hear to believe.
Come&Live is a label about worship, and Ian McIntosh’s “Alive” is a great example of this and is something to play on your iPod for years to come. Download it free today at www.comeandlive.com/downloads Enjoy!
