“We started recording with Ed Cash in the spring of ‘09, and it's always amazing to watch songs take on a life of their own,” says lead singer and songwriter Michael Farren. “Honestly, I cannot pick a favorite. ‘When Love Whispers Your Name’ was co-written with my daughter Madison, who also sings the backing vocals on the track...so you can imagine my fondness for that one. There is also ‘Come As You Are’, written with my friends Chad Cates and Tony Wood. This song has already had a profound effect as we've begun sharing it live. Another highlight would have to be the last-minute addition of ‘Let It Rain.’ This song was actually written back in 1999, but Ed heard it with fresh ears, and it has now taken on a whole new life as well!”

To kick off the new record, their first single “Alive” was the most added single at Christian AC for multiple weeks, with airplay on both KLOVE and Air 1. The single peaked in the Top 10 on the AC Christian radio, making more than 10,000 weekly audience impressions.
