IRIS TO IRIS - BUILDING 429
Much of a band’s appeal lies in the lead singer’s voice, and Jason Roy’s distinctive vocals have helped make Building 429 one of the Christian industry’s most successful new bands. Roy, who is also the band’s principal songwriter, has a warm, rough-textured voice that is equally effective on the gorgeous ballad “Waiting to Shine” and the soaring, anthemic “Power of Your Name.” The group definitely takes a more worshipful direction on this collection and “Majesty” is a shining example. “You Carried Me” is a poignant song of hope and faith that should be as big a hit as the band’s 2004 breakthrough, “Glory Defined.” All in all, this is a strong addition to Building 429’s already impressive resume.(Word Records) Billboard
