Simple Yet Effective: God's Servant "Simple Love" Review
Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of High Society, the cats at Humble Beast, Lecrae's Church Clothes, etc. But that style of music seems to be too much for me at times. Remember this is MY opinion. When God's Servant released this it was almost an anomalous breath of fresh air. Weird huh? Finally some simple Christ-Centered(not saying the artists I listed above aren't Christ Centered) music! I found myself just in awe of the work God has done in this project.
"This Is Love" "Boy Meets Girl" and "Crown of Thorns" start this album off on a great yet simple note. The simplicity yet complexity of these topics draw me in. The production is solid yet supreme! Never before has an album have a simple yet complex effect on me!
"Oh The Deep" "SDG" & "Forgiven It All" continue this pace for me. Although after a while SDG really doesn't draw me in as much as the other two. "Witness" kind of slowed down the listening though. Maybe a few more adjustments/additions would've made this song go from good to great.
"All In" & "Delight" are heavy hitters! The guest appearances of Christon Gray & Trip Lee were great additions to these songs. Christon Gray automatically draws you in on "All In" with his natural pure voice & Trip Lee does an impressive job on the banger known as "Delight"
"Eyes On Him" is another song that kind of slowed the listening down for me. Just like "Witness" it could've had one or two things added to make it go from good to great.
"L.L.T.K." & "Lay It Down" are my FAVORITE songs on the whole album! I love the hardcore gritty cypha feel that L.L.T.K. brings. Lay It Down is just an epic masterpiece with an amazing message.
"Worthy Is The Lamb" ends this on a GREAT note. This hard hitting beat with the hook-anticipating verses really set this off as an "Outro". Needless to say this is the song that gives the album total completion.
Overall this album is a simple yet complex Christ-Centered album. A little different feel compared to the rest of the stuff on LampMode but hey, its all for the good of it! I encourage the readers to get this if you are craving simple Christ-Centered music.
