If there was ever a “dark” artist among the roster of worship artists trained by the Passion movement of the last 10 years, it is Charlie Hall. “Contemplative” may be a better word. Or “artsy.” Or maybe “critically thoughtful.” No matter how you try to tag the man who has become synonymous with taking modern worship deeper, The Bright Sadness pushes the listener to pause and consider more closely.
The Bright Sadness is not worship music status quo, and that’s a really good thing. Charlie Hall has proven he is not simply a worship leader but also an artist of the highest caliber.
