In Danen Kane’s sixth release there is a rockier foundation
to his message of praise and worship. Each of his releases have clear cut Christian
lyrics to match melody and this is clearly evident in Flesh and Soul, which may
have more of a personal note from Kane’s life than previous offerings.
In Flesh and Soul, Kane gives of himself while broadening his
musical breadth with new sounds, breaks, and hotter electric guitar. The latter
of which occasionally takes over the message and at one or two points break too
hard leaving the emotion behind. There is a clear and present change in tempo
and feel, at times much harder and at others similar to Shawn McDonald’s recent
writing.
“The Song That Set Us Free” begins slow and beautiful with a
simple message jumping to a big bridge with up-tempo ending. Something new and
upbeat is found in “When Our Time Here Is Over”. “One Step Ahead” again lays
out the message calmly building to a rocker.
“Love Song”, quite different from the remainder of the
collection, is a slow, emotional song with mid-‘60s melody. The beautiful,
understated acoustic “Our Love” stands tall. A crowd favorite often heard
during Kane’s life performance, “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing”, shows the old
hymn has not lost is glory.
Beautiful, well architected and mixed. While most songs are
very well done and personalized, the message often has a cadence and feel of so
many of his past efforts, so true of Christian contemporary rock’s praise and
worship today.
