Allen Froese
Faith Inside
Renown Worship
Grade = B

Allen is a gifted independent worship artist based out of Ontario, Canada. His songs have garnered the attention of the Canadian Gospel Music Awards and his first label debut “Faith Inside” has been released on the newly developed Renown Worship. Renown has distribution primarily in Canada, however, you can find Allen’s CD on both Amazon and iTunes.

“Faith Inside” is a superb collection of new songs with a light but passionate soundtrack. The overall theme of the album is worship and the songs focus on revival, true worship, faith, and waiting on God. A good example is the piano medley “We Bow At Your Feet,” which radiates with passion. Secondly, there are moments where the soundtrack is more upbeat like, “Praise You,” and “Let Our Worship Rise.” The combination gives the CD an overall accessible feeling that is pleasing for meditative worship and the occasional more festive worship. Either way, “Faith Inside” is an excellent choice if you’re looking for something original in the worship genre.
