CD Review and Giveaway: Rebecca St. James, I Will Praise You

One thing that makes me happy no matter when or where is Christian music.  I listen in my car, in my house, and even on my mp3 when I am out and about.  I think that music is my way of growing closer to God and I feel such a strong connection with my faith through music.  The words speak to me in ways no other source can.

I recently was given the opportunity to review the new CD by Rebecca St. James, “I Will Praise You”, available in stores now.

Rebecca St. James charts yet another new course with I Will Praise You, a new collection of worship songs she terms “ her most personal recording to date.” From the opening notes of track one, listeners are offered a welcoming connection with Rebecca’s recognizably authentic vocal warmth and delivery. More than anything, I Will Praise You represents the latest steps in Rebecca’s life long journey towards the presence of God.

I have been listening to this CD off and on but left it on all day today while I did homework, blogging, and other computer stuff. I LOVE this CD. Rebecca St. James has a beautiful voice that is memorable and perfect for praise music. My favorite song so far is the second one. It has such meaning and purpose in my life. It is called “You Never Let Go” and is beautiful.

You can visit Rebecca St. James on her website or on Facebook.  You can also find more on Rebecca St. James on YouTube.   In addition, you can have a listening party and share a preview of the CD with your friends and family!
