Singer, songwriter and American Idol alum (season 14) Clark Beckham puts his spin on six modern worship tunes with his project, “Acoustic Worship Sessions.” It’s Beckham’s first offering in about six years and features his dazzling piano and vocal abilities.
“I think the elements of this record have always been in me, I just didn't know how to put it together,” Beckham shared in a release. “Growing up, I listened to (19)60s and ’70s music like Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. I loved God and worshiped him in church, but when my love for God and my love for soul and R&B met, this is what came out. Now it's how I worship when it's just me, him, and the piano.”
The playlist consists of “Great Are You Lord,” “Goodness of God,” “I Could Sing of Your Love Forever,” “Gardens into Graves,” “How Great is Our God,” and “Nobody Greater.” The music provides an invitation to reflect on God’s vast nature, and the soothing piano, blended with Beckham’s vocal ability to reach the high notes, gives the record an interesting balance.
