Leigh Nash's name is often associated with the name "Sixpence None The Richer".
The song that most people would have heard her vocals on is"Kiss me".
Leigh Nash's work with "Sixpence None The Richer" was always intriguing and was on the creative edge in comparison to ready made CCM.
There are creative artists who get others to think about God but are willing to explore the darker days as well as the good times. Artists who use metaphor and parabolic language to intrigue and inspire others. I was therefore surprised to hear "leigh Nash" making a Worship album. Is this not an Oxymoron to what I have just described? It is useful to know that Leigh's journey has not been all together easy and her desire to do this album as been fuelled by an exploration of these hymns and sacred songs as a way of helping her worship.
So what is the album like?
The vocals are great and the songs have had a re-working to incorporate her style.
Musically there are some roots sounds as well as nods to "Sufjan Stevens". Many of the songs display an ability to keep a distinct unique sound without re-working the hymn too much. There is a familiar tune "In Christ Alone" which has been remade as "Power of the Cross".
If you enjoyed "Sixpence None The Richer" you will enjoy this, if you like "Hymns and Sacred songs" you will also enjoy this.
