This debut recording begins with anthems that explore the darkness of the night and the soul, the coldness of pain and loneliness. The choir then awakens the listener with “Jesus, the Very Thought of You,” a musical and thematic answer to the opening questions. The journey is as moving as it is powerful. The choir’s flawless interpretation, articulation, and intonation unite as a shout from the soul. This is the group’s first recording; it’s exciting to wonder what might be next.
