Father Me CD

Father Me from Paul Oakley is another excellent slice of pop drenched worship from one of Britain?s most popular worship leaders.
It is without doubt Paul's strongest collection of songs for a season. Ever Faithful God, Breathtaking, Take My Life, No Other God, Astounded By The Mystery, Beautiful and the title track Father Me....all set high standards both lyrically and musically. Recorded in Nashville with Dove award winning producer John Hartley and a host of Nashville?s finest session players....this is the definitive Paul Oakley.

Songs like opening track Beautiful, No Other God, Astounded By The Mystery and the outstanding arrangement of F. R Havergal?s Take My Life and Let It Be ooze with the pop sensibilities offered by Coldplay, Keane and Muse. Breathtaking is just that, with Paul delivering a vocal reminiscent of Elvis Costello, while Paul Weller's influence is most evident on song of praise Shout From The Roof. With its lush string arrangement Father Me is the studio recording of an already established event favourite and alongside the country ballad Ever Faithful God represents the most universally accessible worship song.

The acoustic I Am Not Ashamed has a strong Beatles/Lennon feel while the moody Breathe On Me and redemption hymn This Is For Me draw the album to a close.
