Music review: Jeremy Camp – ‘I Will Follow’
“ItĢƵ alive in me,” sings Jeremy Camp on the opening track of his latest release, capturing the essence of living a purposeful life that is based in scripture.
“I Will Follow” is the contemporary Christian musicianĢƵ follow-up to 2012ĢƵ highly praised “Reckless.” CampĢƵ eighth studio album is a majestic work filled with a collection of Holy Spirit-led songs about faith, praise and conviction.
Camp, an ordained minister, delivers energized messages consisting of engaging lyrics and infectious melodies that feed and encourage the soul. Just as on “Reckless,” CampĢƵ arrangements are a pleasing mixture of pop, rock and worship about developing a deeper, personal relationship with God, while battling earthly temptations and distractions.
The title track serves as an inspirational reminder that God is continuously with us through both the good and bad times.
“He Knows” reinforces the message that we have a place to lay our burdens when we feel lost and alone.
“Christ in Me,” “Only in You” and “Same Power” are moving compositions about offering a complete surrender in order to experience true peace.
“We will walk and not be shaken,” proclaims Camp on “We Are the Dreamers.” This impassioned anthem rejoices with a message of hope and endless possibilities through GodĢƵ unlimited love.
“Here I Am” closes the album with a yearning to experience a powerful, perfect love that casts out fear and provides comfort and a sturdy foundation of faith.
With over four million albums sold, the Indiana native continues to serve as a powerful testimonial about living a fruitful life rooted in faith through a musical ministry that is engaging, entertaining and inspiring.
