Purchase Kathryn Scott – We Still Believe 
Artist official site
| SYNOPSIS | |
| KLAMPERT: I have to admit that when I heard there was going to be a new Kathryn Scott CD coming out I cringed. I LOVE Kathryn but her studio stuff just doesn’t for me. This however is a LIVE CD! Kathryn Live is amazing! There is so much power and the spirit of God oozes through every nook and cranny of it. I love where she is heading worship wise and seeking God to do something within the midst of corporate worship. We get that sense of expectation when we listen to this.
I really love what she is doing sonically and lyrically as well here. Awesome stuff and in my eyes gives us what I have longed for from Kathryn. A return to the sound and feel of when I first heard her and yet modern and current. The only thing that threw me for a loop was seeing “I believe in Jesus” on there. I used to love that song. In terms of worship music I don’t think it had near the staying power as say “shout to the lord”, but I think Scott may have resurrected it and made it usable even today. Let me end on this note. Kathryn is one of those artists who should only do Live CD’s because thats when we hear the Worship come through her the most. |

MAHONEY: I really like the body of Kathryn Scott’s work. She has a lot going for her: she sings wonderfully, she’s Irsih, and she wrote “Hungry,” which happens to be one of my favorite worship songs. This record, however, takes things to another level. I’m convinced I need to see Kathryn live at some point, if this album is any indication of that experience. The whole experience is what one would expect from a songwriter of this caliber, and the album has a great sound and feel to it. It’s a little edgier than Vicky Beeching or Kari Jobe, but not quite Jesus Culture. It’s worshipful, intimate and at the same time powerful. I could have done without some of the older song redo’s (except “Hungry”), but all in all a great live worship album. |

| VANCE: Hey, did you know Kathryn just lived up the road from me. Ok, I won’t go on about it too much. We sang a few of Kathryn’s songs back at my church in Northern Ireland. This album includes some of those, along with some covers and new original songs.
The album starts very upbeat with “Let It Come”, it’s a cracking song even though the verse melody is a little weird to my ears. The running theme throughout the whole record seems to be God’s goodness. I love this theme because it’s one that’s been on my heart recently. The style of record reminds me of mix of Vicky Beeching and Kim Walker / Jesus Culture. It is very worshipful and at times lends itself to simply ‘soaking’ in God’s presence. I was surprised to hear “I believe in Jesus” on there. Yes, I still do believe in Jesus but I was done with that song years ago. It was great to hear the timeless “There Is A Redeemer” on there. |

| BOTTOM LINE | |
KLAMPERT: I really love this CD. It is her best work sing the first CD she had “Hungry” on. I pray this CD makes Kathryn a household name because people need to hear what God is doing through her art. Rating:   |

Every one of these songs could be used. I know I personally will attempt to do a few of these. i love the addition of Bran Doerksen because it gives the opportunity for two vocalists as well. |
