Tthe Beautiful Effect
Independent
13 tracks @ 52:36

Fans of the Newsboys should enjoy this record from this Arizona-based independent artist. It’s a worship record and the musical variety kept me interested.

“Giver” musically reminds me a little of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” While “All That We Need” has some cool 60s-style pop “La La La.” “Stay With Me” opens a cappella. “Saint” is 70s-era funk.

wahba says his sophomore release is a concept worship record. Part one, “the beauty,” centers around themes of God’s impact on our lives. The second part of this record, “the effect,” illustrates our response to God’s beauty. “the effect” is more acoustic and mellow while “the beauty” rocks. Back in the day of two-sided vinyl, this would be way cool.

wahba offers an interesting take on copyright and downloading of music that I haven’t hear from anybody, sharing God’s gift.

He’s also a finalist for Worship Artist of the Year in the www.Indieheaven.com
Momentum Awards
