INSPIRATION WORSHIP Powerful
New Radiate Music artist, Inspiration Worship, featuring singer/songwriter Linda Doane, has released its debut full-length album, Powerful (August 31). Undergirding Linda’s music is her story of overcoming Stage IV NonHodgkin’s Lymphoma and now praising God in full remission. “I don’t think a lot of Christians walk around feeling powerful,” says Linda. “There’s power available to believers in Jesus, and that’s the overall message I want people to come away from with this record.” Linda shares her message, which is, as the album title declares, powerful, with breathy and pretty vocal tones that rise and fall to varying levels. The first notes of the first track reveal a young sound to her voice, which may come as a surprise to listeners predisposed to expecting a sound with a bit more age and depth to it. Her style grows on the ears as the album progresses, as the listener settles deeper into the praise-and-worship-infused message.
