Simister Robinson is an amazing vocalist, and a talented songwriter.
The 11 songs on In Thy Hands, each unique, cover a range of musical
styles and vocal requirements that Robinson performs beautifully.
Her voice morphs easily from bold, to ethereal, to sparkling in
the space of a few songs.
The album production is outstanding. Each song is extremely well
produced and easy to listen to. Instrumental performances, orchestrations,
and vocal work are all excellent.
The music on the album is reminiscent of many of the "classic"
LDS artists and albums, including Janice Kapp Perry, Kenneth Cope,
Michael McClean, and even Robinson's earlier work. The songs are
gentle, and should provide needed spiritual reassurance for church
youth and adults alike.
The only drawback to the album is that the individual songs, and
the album as a whole, are not particularly distinguishable from
others of the genre. It's another solid album in the established
LDS soft pop / easy listening genre.
There are a few songs of note: My Brother is a gentle mediation
on the character of the Savior. In a Sacred Garden Place is a stirring,
prayerlike hymn arrangement. Who We Are is a strong declaration
of empowerment for "beloved Daughters of God," and is
sure to inspire "women of vision, virtue, and faith."
This album will appeal to fans of good LDS inspirational music.
It is good listening for Sundays and quiet moments, and will help
some listeners ponder intimate and personal areas of the gospel.
The vocals and the album production are also great, and very enjoyable
to listen to.
