Now choose life, so that you and your children may live, and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to His voice and hold fast to Him. Deut 30:19-20
Now Choose Life is Faye's first album, drawn from volumes of songs! The project involved more time and people than any previous Teapot project; in fact, Teapot Records was created in preparation for the release of Now Choose Life.
The project began with preliminary recordings in early 2003, mostly by the persistence of James, who produced and co-ordinated the project. After initial feedback from friends and family, 17 songs were selected and demos were recorded in the longest day known to man sometime in April, utilising Rich's multiple talents in recording, playing and singing.
After a month or two of reviewing, 10 of the strongest songs were selected for a more polished treatment, along with the anthemic 'You are the joy' that James and Wes contributed a verse each towards, involving vocals from the whole Teapot team.
Moving, comforting, stirring, uplifting, and radiating a joy of life; the style is mostly acoustic, with strong emphasis on vocals and harmonies, with an occasionally celtic feel. |
