Vertical by Jeff Zabel
Fresh melodies, striking lyrics, and excellent musicianship make Vertical a great first full-length effort by recording artist and worship pastor Jeff Zabel. Touching humility matches God-given gifts, as clean vocals with crisp harmonies, and excellent guitar and bass work, match the stirring message of this album. Your Sweet Grace is a simple, catchy song that rings in your heart immediately after your first listen. A compelling, modern version of an ageless classic, Jesus Paid it All makes you want to listen to it over and over again. And Irresistible stirs the heart in ways few songs can: "Change my heart and make me long to seek and save; and reprobates will dance and long to sing your name." Vertical exceeds expectations as an awesome first offering and is as pleasing to the ear as it is to the soul.
