Excellent Reviews Continue For Narnia Inspired-By Soundtrack

BRENTWOOD, TN. (Sparrow Records) - With the live-action film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe now in theaters, great reviews of the inspired-by soundtrack featuring today's top Christian artists continue to accumulate.

Music Inspired By The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe includes eleven exclusive new recordings based on the classic C. S. Lewis book and subsequent blockbuster film. Contributing artists are Steven Curtis Chapman, Rebecca St. James, David Crowder*Band, tobyMac, Jars of Clay, Nichole Nordeman, Chris Tomlin, Jeremy Camp, Kutless, Delirious, and Bethany Dillon.

Christian Examiner calls the project "the perfect companion for the movie. Each artist on the disc has revered the classic tale by pouring their heart and soul into their respective songs, and it definitely shows."

In a five-star review, Soulshine, a Canadian online media outlet, declares "this CD is a work of art. . . . Rebecca St. James is always at her best when she reverts to her rock roots and this song ('Lion') proves why. . . . David Crowder*Band's 'Turkish Delight' demonstrates imagination and is different than anything else you will hear in 2005.'"
Stars and Stripes says the soundtrack "roars as it captures the Narnia essence . . . those who love the Narnia story - and like pop and rock - will love the disc."

CCM magazine singles out several key songs, including "Stronger" by Delirious ("a tasty appetizer with the kind of guitar punch that would make fellow Brits Oasis jealous"), "New World" by tobyMac ("Warning: You're likely to push repeat"), and "You're The One" by Chris Tomlin ("a song so accessible it could be featured at your next worship service").
