Wilson is a husband and wife duo (Brandon and Breanna) from Fresno, California. The couple play worship music with an indie and folk feel to it -- so the sound is different from your typical radio worship. The opener, "Great is Thy Faithfulness," is a great example of this style. The sound is distinctively indie rock, but it's carried out on an acoustic guitar with some banjo added towards the end. Speaking of the opener... What a great rendition and take on a classic hymn! After the upbeat opening number, a more subdued "All Things" takes the stage. While the bridge of the song is repetitive lyrically, the change in music and vocal delivery here make it stand out despite the repeated lyrics. "Be Set Free" slows things down a little more and is the only track to feature Brandon on lead vocals. Breanna takes over lead once again for the title track. "Follow You" is the most worshipful and introspective song on the album and also features the most "standard" worship sound musically -- perhaps a little more towards the All Sons & Daughters side of the spectrum though. Breanna sings, "I want to change, I want to grow. Where You send me, Lord, I want to go. I want Your way and I want Your will. It is the least I can do, so I'll follow after You." She prayerfully follows in the bridge, "Mold me, shape me. I want to become new. Teach me, try me. Make me more like You." For the closer, the duo revisits "Great is Thy Faithfulness," but this time as a straight piano-led hymn. While it's a beautiful and simple version, it doesn't have all the fun of the opening version. However, the two tracks do make excellent bookends to this short album.

Follow You has a lot to offer. The album features mostly simpe, but enjoyable instrumentation, Breanna's voice is stellar, and the production is outstanding. Even the album artwork is fantastic! The gorgeous drawing features a couple (presumably Breanna and Brandon) walking a narrow and dark path instead of the attractive wide and colorful path. However, the narrow path leads to and even brighter and more beautiful place, while the wide path leads to a much darker place. The cover is beautifully drawn and packs in a lot of meaning. Wilson has released an excellent debut EP. I personally enjoy the worshipful lyrics set to a different-than-usual soundtrack. This is a great first step for this husband and wife team and I look forward to seeing what they do in the future.
