ALBUM REVIEW - PSALMS BY RECLAIM THE DAY


 

Definitely a better late than never review! On June 11, 2022, I heard Reclaim the Day the day after this project was released. Today is July 29, 2023. Oh well.

I love the artwork for this project. One word of warning - there are projects called Psalms (e.g. The Psalm Project) where the songs are Biblical Psalms set to music. There are others who use the Biblical Hebrew word for "song" (you guessed it, Psalm) but these Psalms are more contemporary. This fits into the latter category. (So does Disciple's latest release, "Skeleton Psalms.")

Reclaim The Day released three singles before this EP. Two of these - 2022 WVIU rock song of the year "Sentenced To Life" and "Chokehold" which teams RTD's lead vocalist with Zahna - lead off this project. For some reason the third single, "Who You Are" didn't get included (it deserved to have made the cut). 

The other three songs are as good as the singles. "Yours Alone," which pairs Becca Sugg with Alex Beattie, is an excellent, worshipful song. The band rocks out again on "Say Goodbye," which has been recently released as a single. This project closes with "Don't Look Back."

Those who know me know I'm a Reclaim The Day fan. You can check them out on Spotify and YouTube and their Facebook page.
