Travis Cottrell - Found - Music Review
Travis Cottrell - Found - Christian Music Review
His first break came as worship leader at Beth Moore’s Living Proof conferences, but we first caught wind of Travis Cottrell with two knockout projects he recorded with Integrity Music—2003’s Unashamed Love and 2005’s Alive Forever. Both albums were the epitome of blended worship, that is, the combination of traditional, contemporary, modern, choral, and gospel tendencies into a cohesive whole. But what’s more, they proved Cottrell is a versatile leader all-around, unafraid to be all things to all people.
With that résumé on hand, it comes as a bit of a surprise that Found, Cottrell’s debut for Indelible Creative Group, is not a worship album in the strictest sense of the term. Instead, Found is a bold incursion into classical pop—think Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, and vintage Steve Green. Cottrell says he always wanted to sing opera, but that God had a different plan. Now that the timing is right, he’s teamed up with producer Kent Hooper and made the album of his dreams: grand, extravagant, symphonic and operatic.
