Out of Eden, have been one of the most popular Christian R&B acts, and this release in the 8 Great hits series shows us exactly why. The trio have been going for over a decade now, and this CD gives a good sample of what have been the highlights so far, opening with their infectious version of the Bill Withers classic, ‘Lovely Day’. It’s the kind of feel good tune that doesn’t date at all, and this is for me the definitive version with smooth vocal harmonies and an easy beat going in the background this is a fab tune for the summer. Out of Eden were around at the height of the nineties trend for all girl groups, yet unlike many have came through it, ‘More than You Know’ is my personal favourite of their tunes, it has the kind of groove that you can totally immerse in. The sound gets updated on ‘Greater Love’ with synth samples and a pulsing rhythm throughout, while ‘River’ is another tune that I’m sure all Christian Music fans will recognise, speaking of God being always with us, it has an instantly catchy, head nodding beat. Now, the brighter sparks amongst y’all will have already gathered this from the title, but it does sum it up well, these are 8 stand out songs from the past decade of Out of Eden, and it was really refreshing to hear them again, you forget some of the good tracks that you have liked in the past and this series is doing a great job of bringing them back.
