Music reviews of The House You're Building

Music Review: Catholic Artists
Rating: 4 Stars

"The House You're Building" is Audrey Assad's eleven song, 2010 debut release, on Sparrow Records. The album has been both, produced and arranged by the Los Angeles based producer/songwriter Marshall Altman. Marshall Altman has also produced a release for Contemporary Christian artist Bethany Dillon, among others. Marshall Altman also co-wrote with Audrey Assad, a song for the album, "Breaking Through". It is one of the strongest tracks on the album. It has a "Los Angeles Sound" of drums/percussion, piano/keyboards, and electric guitar riffs ("riffs" is a short term for refrain), all weaving in and out of the song, alongside of Audrey Assad's soaring vocals. The first single, "For Love of You" is a strong first release. The beautiful piano arrangement really sets the song apart. The lyrics speak of Audrey Assad's love for God, being the motivation for all she does in her life. The title track, "The House You're Building" is a song about wanting to live in the House God is building. The song is rich in theology. The point being that Jesus is the Cornerstone, and the people of the Church are the four walls of the House, and we all want to be part of the House He is building. The song also has an excellent melody with stirring instrumental and vocal arrangements and harmonies. Both the first single and the title track, Audrey Assad co-wrote with veteran, Nashville based, songwriter/producer, Ben Glover. Along with the already mentioned "Breaking Through", both "For Love of You", and "The House You're Building" are among the strongest songs on the album. Other standout songs include the songs Audrey Assad co-wrote with Phillp Larue. With his sister, Natalie LaRue, Phillip LaRue made up the Contemporary Christian group, LaRue. Phillip Larue also co-wrote "I'm All Yours", with another Catholic artist, Rachael Lampa for her "Kaleidoscope" album. Anyways, the songs co-written with Phillip Larue are "Carry Me", "Known", and "Run Forward". There is a common lyrical theme running through all three of these songs. It is a theme of trusting in God through all the circumstances of our lives. Musically speaking, the three songs are characterized by drums/percussion, piano and keyboard arrangements, all rounded out by electric guitars and strings. Other wonderful songs include "Come Clean", co-written with Audrey Assad, Marc Byrd, And Sarah Hart. "Everything Is Yours" is a song Audrey Assad co-wrote with Steve Wilson, (who also co-wrote "Hold Us Together" with Matt Maher). It's a song about everything being in God's hands, and the need to trust Him in all things. "Everything Is Yours" is one of the best songs on the album. Audrey Assad also co-wrote a song with Matt Maher called "Restless". "Restless" borrows from St. Augustine's famous phrase, "Our hearts are restless, until they rest in You, O Lord". "The House You're Building" is an excellent mix of Christian lyrics wrapped around the theme of trusting in God. The music reflects the "Los Angeles Sound" of drums/percussion, beautiful piano/keyboard arrangements, along with electric guitar and string accompaniment. Audrey Assad's vocals soar over the instruments and arrangements. As for Audrey Assad's vocals, she simply has a great voice. She has a wide range, near perfect pitch, and excellent tone and dynamics. "The House You're Building" is one of the best Contemporary Christian albums of 2010, released by a Catholic artist.
