Worship artist Sarah Reeves has joined Sparrow Records and is releasing her debut
album “Sweet, Sweet Sound” EP on 4/21/09. She is a nineteen-year-old Alabama native,
and was introduced to Sparrow Records by Plumb lead singer Tiffany Lee and her
husband Jeremy after hearing Sarah open for Plumb. With zealous faith and a love of
music early on, Reeves first exercised her songwriting and vocal abilities as a participant
in her church’s fine arts program. Consistently placing first at local as well as regional
competitions, Reeves was moved by the receptiveness of young people to her message—
one of power and freedom in the Holy Spirit. She has since made it her goal to serve God
by leading young people into a lifestyle of worship and adoration to Him.
Sarah co-wrote “Sweet, Sweet Sound” and “Let Us Rise” with Nashville veteran Ed
Cash, who has written hit songs with Chris Tomlin, Bebo Norman, Bethany Dillon and
Vicky Beeching. This EP serves as an excellent primer for Sarah’s music and ministry.
“Sweet, Sweet Sound” is a worship-inducing song distinguished by Sarah's sweet vocals
which immediately reminded me of Leigh Nash, Ginny Owens and also fellow newcomer
Joy Lippard. There is an abandonment in her songs that compels listeners to dive deep
into worship with her. All six songs are scripture based with upbeat songs like “Fresh
Anointing” and “My Savior” and there are yearning prayer songs like the sweetly
melancholy piano ballad, “Come Save”, which is one of my favorite songs on this very
solid debut album. As Sarah explains, “I want this world to know the unconditional love
of Jesus. This is a cry of desperation that God would come save our land.”
Closing Thoughts:
Great debut album and I liked all of the songs a lot, especially “Sweet, Sweet Sound” and
“Come Save”. I am very impressed by Sarah’s singing and songwriting and find her
style to be similar to Bethany Dillon, Vicky Beeching and Ginny Owens.
