In our search for up and coming Christian artists to showcase, we scour the internet and social media pages (myspace, facebook, etc). Lately, we have a direct line to some really great finds. Brody from Skör, Inc. and I have been firing emails back and forth, mostly about technology; but, every now and then he shoots me a email about new artists that they are working with that catch his attention. (On a side note: Artists, you need to check out what Skör,Inc. is up to.)
The latest in these great emerging artist finds is Daniel Renstrom.
Adore and Tremble
Earlier this year Daniel Renstrom, a worship leader from Raleigh, North Carolina released his debut EP “Adore and Tremble“. Though only a few songs, (being an EP and all) Renstrom delivers a powerful message with his conversation of a man, a guitar and God.
“Adore and Tremble” the EP is a great addition to our collection of worship music. One thing I really enjoyed was how the EP flows from beginning to end. Renstrom, eases his way into things with “Quietly” his introduction to God as if meeting Him passing in the hallway and continues through the album with deeper discussion, thought and praise.
Other really great tracks on this EP are the title track “Adore and Tremble” a praise song with awesome imagery and powerful chords and “At the Cross” which I expect to be an add at worship services, if you are not using it already.
Renstrom’s voice has the easy going flow of artists like John Mayer with the raw emotion of Damien Rice. Already being compared in other reviews to artists like Derek Webb, we look forward to hearing more great works from Renstrom in the future.
The EP “Adore and Tremble” produced by Nathan Nockels (Watermark) is available at iTunes and Amazon as a digital download or better yet stop by Danielrenstrom.com to order the CD and find out more about this modern hymnist and talented emerging voice in Christian music.
