Bellarive have sprung to the forefront of the worship music scene almost overnight. Rest assured, they are certainly no one-hit-wonder and it will be only a matter of time before you stumble upon their debut album, The Heartbeat, of your own accord. 

Bellarive have been pigeonholed as a pop rock/worship band. While technically correct, this description does not portray the real sense of depth, both musically and lyrically, that you find in this album, and that few bands ever seem to reach.

In their own words, Bellarive have “a heart to craft artistic worship music.” Every instrument, sound and melody seems to have been carefully sculptured to fit perfectly within each song, resulting in an album where no two songs sound the same. The lyrics are extraordinary, carrying straightforward truths of God, his grace, and his love, while retaining a poetic beauty. 

Although the album contains 12 full tracks, you will be left wanting more.

Five stars out of five
