Two years after their debut album We Shine, Fee returns with a new collection of songs, titled Hope Rising. While Shine was a very solid album, I feel like Hope really elevates elevates them to new levels, both musically and in worship. Some of the notable tracks among the eleven original tracks on this album are Rise and Sing, Glory to God Forever and Arms That Hold the Universe.  Produced by Jason Hoard and lead singer Steve Fee, Hope Rising showcases the continued growth and maturity of Fee as a band.   Steve Fee is quoted saying “We are thrilled that the success of the first record is giving us a platform with Hope Rising to inject God into the equation of tragedy and uncertainty going on in the world.”

A few of my favorites on this album include:

Everything Falls: This song explains to us how the Lord will hold us together in our times of need.We may fall at times, but He will be there to lend a hand to pick us back up so we may live for his purpose and give him glory. He will not leave us and His love is never ending.

Promised Land
: A techno driven song, that is unlike anything else from them before(It even employs HEAVY usage of autotune). I feel like this song will one of their next hit singles. The song tells us that heaven is the promised land that our Savior allowed us into through our salvation. That here we will have no sorrow and pain. “Going to see my Savior, my Lord, Not going to cry No more.”

Send Me Out: This is our anthem as Christians, to go out into the world to make Him known, to spread the truth and knowledge of the Word, to be a servant in the name of Jesus, to give all for Him, to take up the cross and follow Him.

This album will not let you down, and even if you have never heard anything from Fee before, you will still enjoy it. Most of all, it will help to further your understanding that through the love of the Father, we can always have Hope. He will always be there to hold us and guide us through the seasons of life. You should definitely purchase this album and add it to your collection.
