“The Loft Sessions”

Grade = A-
Recorded live in a refurbished rustic loft, Bethel Music gathered friends and family for several nights of worship that set the stage for this new record.
“Incorporating several different musical styles, we wanted to create a new sound, something that shakes the stereotypes of what people might think Bethel Music is,” says Brian Johnson. “The strength of what we accomplished is in the community of artists that came together.”
“It was like stumbling upon a new way to create or write songs,” says Jeremy Riddle. “I’m used to refining songs before going into the production of a record. The writing, refining process for this album all happened during the production, which is kind of unusual, but it worked beautifully!”
With dashes of banjo, tubular bells and other unexpected instruments, this is overall a rather subdued, contemplative record. I enjoyed “You Have Won Me.”
