Music veteran Twila Paris is back with an album that until recently was only available at LifeWay Christian Stores. Paris, whose career has spanned three decades and produced dozens of hit singles, offers a solid collection of gentle pop that’s in keeping with her past work. Though far from edgy or innovative, this clean-sounding album is quite good at points, particularly with “You Lead Me,” which has a jazz piano motif that reminds one of Ginny Owens, and “Alleluia,” a pretty ballad that channels Amy Grant. It’s probably the best song here, though “We Know Love” and “You Are a Great God” are good and occasionally offer just the right touch. The biggest criticism here is that this album can at times seem cloying, or at least too mild-mannered. But much of this quiet music is tailor-made for a Christian women’s conference-especially the snappy, “Live to Praise You”-and that’s undoubtedly the target audience for this pleasant collection of biblically based songs.
