Lincoln Brewster's newest release, Oxygen, continues with his recent development into an unique sound that is different from anything on the market both contemporary and Christian wise. His undeniable skill as a guitar master takes a backseat in this album, only popping up in opportune moments. Instead, Brewster's song writing skills are featured, as he attempts to craft a worship anthem album straight from his heart. Together with his new producer that worked with him on his Christmas album, Brewster continues to seek a happy medium between an electronic and guitar driven sound.
That effort produces a hit and miss record. The first five tracks are amazing, smoothly transitioning the two electronic and guitar elements together. These five tracks, headlined by Live to Praise You and Oxygen, contain witty, passionate lyrics, dynamic fluidity, and a perfect mixture of every instrument. Easily, these tracks can be listed as some of Brewster's best. However, the final few tracks don't match up to these first ones. At times, they seem disjointed musically, and lack the same lyrical prowess.
No matter what, this album continues Brewster's fine track history of producing premium records. This is another hit from the electric guitar star, and will keep Brewster as my favourite Christian artist for a while to come.
