Building 429 Unashamed (Provident) FOR FANS OF: Big Daddy Weave, MercyMe QQQQ Ever since they took home the Dove Award for New Artist of the Year in 2005, Building 429 have established themselves as one of the top pop/rock groups in all of Christian music. Mega- hits like “Listen To The Sound,” “Where I Belong” and “We Won’t Be Shaken” all settled near the top of the charts in recent years, turning Jason Roy and company into a headlining act and one of Christian music’s surest bets. Unashamed follows suit with a radio- ready 10-song set of encouraging songs for the church. “GO” moves the church toward the marginalized with a memorable mid-tempo refrain. The title track is a worshipful track that should find some congregational use, as should “Ocean Deep” as an inspiring song about the mercy and grace of God. “Eyes Up” is a Bruno Mars-esque number that’s a simple earworm to kick off the album. Given the tremendous success of Building 429’s last few albums, it’s hard not to project the same for Unashamed. In This Issue –Matt Conner WE LIKE: “Eyes Up” CCMMagazine.com
