INSPIRIT REVIEW FULL

'Inspirit' is subtle, catchy, and well produced. And they have surprisingly pulled it all off without a question. There's a particular elasticity within INFINITE that allows them to hit several types of songs without ever fully stepping beyond the boundaries of their comfort zone.

INSPIRIT REVIEW FULL

INFINITE's latest album is full to the brim of optimism and sweet sounds that fit perfectly, not only with the season, but to this rookie group's individuality. The arrangement allows for Infinite to shine vocally, as well as to showcase that they have it in them to take on different styles without losing their identity as a pop group. This version of 'Can You Smile' is very soothing and makes a stronger statement than the original. The closing song on this album is a remake of ' Can You Smile.' The original made its debut on 'Evolution' as a fast and shimmering tune, while the track on 'Inspirit' lowers the blinds and momentum for a semi-acoustic rendition. Perhaps an up tempo R&B song full of stomping beats a la Ne-Yo ' Cause I Said So' would do I'm positive INFINITE could pull something of that caliber off, and it would be the perfect segue for a maturing style in their music. 'Shot' alone is an average song, and there isn't anything grand to revel in, so it would have been a treat to hear INFINITE tackle something a little more daring.

Was it a risky move? Maybe, but there's still enough of a difference for both songs to sit side by side without giving this very short album a sense of redundancy. ' Shot' features the exact same beat of 'Nothing's Over', one that may have already reoccurred in one or two of their previous songs. INFINITE's producers have more or less figured out all of the right ingredients to whip up the perfect songs for them.

Much like the lead single, the other two songs on 'Inspirit' are calm, tame, and as airy as ever. 'Nothing's Over' stays conservatively leveled throughout the full three minutes, repeating the title's catchy hook over and over, but it does a good job of shaking things up at the second verse with a quick dose of rap and a subtle change in instrumentation to match. Produced by composer Han Jae Ho and lyricist Kim Seung Soo, 'Nothing's Over' marries major scales with INFINITE's recognizable melodies to bring together a calming experience that becomes reminiscent of their 2010 single, ' She's Back', as it begins to unfold past the first chorus. INFINITE's current single, ' Nothing's Over,' stays true to their modest style. It's something that normally presents itself as an alarming challenge for rookie groups, but for INFINITE, it couldn't be any easier. The two albums have their distinct concepts and tones, but INFINITE's musical style remains vivid in both. There is no interest in helping readers navigate controversial teachings that surround a focus on the Holy Spirit but rather an intentionality to help the reader pray, suffer, worship and rejoice in the work of the Holy Spirit.It took maybe one month for INFINITE to churn out their follow-up singles album, ' Inspirit.' It was a speedy comeback, seeing as they had released ' Evolution' earlier this year, but that's just how things happen to roll around here. That is Dodson’s stated aim in writing this book. Here In Spirit is full of encouragement to see the Holy Spirit less as a spiritual force and more as a person to relate to and seek after.ĭodson does not dive into a heady theology about the nature or gifts of the Holy Spirit, but he does give several examples from his own experience as to what a life dependent on the Holy Spirit looks like. “He’s not given nearly enough press.” This statement about the Holy Spirit is the driving focus of Jonathan Dodson’s new book, Here In Spirit, in which he emphasizes the role of the Spirit in the everyday lives of Christians.ĭodson, founding pastor of City Life Church in Austin, does a great job in writing an accessible book that can be understood by anyone picking it up.
