With "Theology of Beauty: Fall," the 12-track collection that marks first full-length album release, Weathrman ushers in a new era of his artistry led by Hollyn's identifiable voice. The album clocks in at 50 minutes and 40 seconds, and is a meditation on faith, beauty and the redemption in worship.
"Theology of Beauty: Fall" captures from the first note an aura of intimacy in which apowerful vulnerability merges with seasoned musicianship. The album bears the weight of hard-won witness, intertwining musings on gratitude and lament with indomitable hope. Hollyn’s weathered vocals ground the project, lending every line a gravitas that comes across as lived-in and deeply genuine.
Among the standout songs, “In Jesus Name” is just an undeniable anthem, an impassioned declaration with a prayerful yet victorious feel. Its layers of instrumentation add up slowly, reflecting the strength that can come from letting go and placing trust in motion. Another highlight, “Where Would I Be,” slows down and looks up with gratitude, sketching out the image of redemption, recalling us to grace’s firm hold. As compelling as “Time,” a song that meditates on moments mutable and eternal, combining yearning lyrics with full-bodied production.
As a whole, the twelve tracks that make up "Theology of Beauty: Fall" are united and yet not entirely predictable. Each track compliments the other, creating a cohesive body of work rather than just a stack of singles. It’s apparent that Weathrman and Hollyn were intentional in creating this album, built to encourage listeners but also land firmly on their hearts.
It lands with details of a new signing, adding momentum and more to an effort that seems best viewed relative to what else it might become. But despite its announcement-happy rollout, the album never feels rushed. It's not dated, so much as timeless, and filled with meaty material and stirring spirit. "Theology of Beauty: Fall" is the sound track to reflection, worship, and transformation. Weathrman and Hollyn’s new project emerges in a culture hungry for something, that calls people to slow down and be reacquainted with beauty through faith..
