A Passionate Journey

Like the men on the road to Emmaus, Chris Taylor met Christ at a time and place in his life when he least expected it, but it changed his direction and gave him a yearning to follow. This passion eventually led to his debut album, Take Me Anywhere, a swirling and beautiful mix of progressive pop and artistic modern worship.

The lyrics are sincere and better written than anything you are hearing on Christian radio right now. This is a guy thinking about things like how God isn’t constrained by space and time and looking forward to taking a trip with Christ, wherever God wants to take him.

On the sweeping epic “Atmosphere,” Chris sings, “Show me how to love profoundly/I want everything you are.” It is this passion for the journey that fuels the textured and airy opening anthem “Turn Me Around,” with lush and melodic keyboards and soaring production, as well as the more guitar driven pop hooks of “You See Through Me”—a song you will be humming to yourself for a long time after you’ve heard it.

The inspired lyrics and amazing melodies on Take Me Anywhere will sweep you up on a journey that will take you beyond all those other modern worship and art pop albums out there. This is a record that will make you want to worship, and it does so it with art and intelligence.
