Brenton Brown isn’t likely a name that most people who follow Christian music are familiar with - though they are more than likely familiar with his songwriting.  Brown got his start working in the Vineyard UK church and had a big hand in the now historic Hungry record.  Since then, his music has been picked up by a good number of very popular worship leaders.  His songs most people know - like “Hallelujah (Your Love Is Amazing)”, “Lord Reign In Me”, and “Because of Your Love”.  That last song is included and the title track for Brown’s second solo album - a follow up to 2006’s highly praised Everlasting God.  Because of Your Love is a much more stripped down effort compared to his last recording - featuring what feels more like a five-piece worship band set up - and it works very well for this album.  Because of Your Love features a bevy of special guests - including Paul Baloche, Leeland’s Leeland Mooring, Kathryn Scott, and Matt Maher.  That’s not bad for a worship artist most people haven’t heard of.  Because of Your Love is mostly Brown covering his own songs - both new and old - in this new, stripped down setting.  “Because of Your Love” just feels right here, while “Adoration” is set to be the new big anthem of the church.  Brown’s older material - particularly “Holy” - shines really well on this album - and will hopefully be picked up by more churches and worship leaders after hearing the song in this setting.  Overall, Because of Your Love is an excellent follow-up to 2006’s Everlasting Love.  It shows Brown in somewhat of a different setting - as well as his beloved songs.  Time will tell if it makes him a leader in today’s worship scene like Chris Tomlin, Paul Baloche, or Hillsong.
