Following the success for their initial 2013 EP project of
the same name, Finding Favour has produced its first album in ‘Reborn’. Mostly
praise and worship with some pop relationship and other influences mixed in,
Reborn shows the bands range while giving a solid, if not pop teen orientated
CCM collection.
Of the CCM-related songs, “Cast My Cares”, “Reborn” and
“Till Your Kingdom Comes” are anthemic. Losing the direction of pop praise and
worship, “Feels Like the First Time” (not to be confused with the ‘70s
Foreigner tune) is a teen-oriented dating song, “Tiny Town” is a crack at
country and western, and “Say Amen (Reprise)” is a slower bluesy cut with good
harmony.
“Be Like You” a soulful song of thanks for the children a
man has is touching and truthful and “On the Water” shines with truthful lyrics
and vocals. The latter is perhaps the best cut on the album, with smart lyrics
playing against well-paced melody hitting home with its message.
With its mix of praise-and-worship and non-CCM songs, Reborn
does not have a solid message throughout. One singular ‘feel’ is a pop focus
for a teenage audience. While personal and skilled, the production is average
and the lyrical scope limited to a very youthful audience. As first efforts go,
Reborn shows promise.
