Overall Impression: "Meet Me Here" is an inspirational new release from the California-based Christian singer/songwriter team of John & Jane Kubal. This track features a laidback, relaxed sound that's highlighted by acoustic guitar, piano and light percussion in support of John's confident, reassuring lead vocal, as he expresses themes of repentance and salvation. Gentle female backing harmonies and tasteful electric guitar leads round out the arrangement, providing a tranquil, soothing listening experience for audiences of all types. Christian country and CCM fans in particular will appreciate both the spirituality and the serenity of John & Jane Kubal's "Meet Me Here."
Strongest Point(s): Excellent production, outstanding mix. Nice tonal balance and clarity. Wonderfully peaceful vibe and atmosphere. Nice instrumentation; piano and acoustic blend well, and the electric guitar adds brilliant texture. Fantastic vocal performance and production, charming style and delivery that will definitely connect with listeners. Backing vocals sit well in the rear of the mix, adding gentle color. Tremendous lyrical content; you managed to say a lot about your faith without using many words here on this song. Great repetition on the hook. Overall, this is a terrific bit of song craft and a fine finished track that should do very well with CCM and Christian country audiences. Exceptional work, all around!
