Father Chris Skinner's ninth album entitled "You Raise Me Up", after the excellent cover of the Josh Groban hit of the same name. Chris has been labeled "a voice of pure magic" by the press, and we feel that this tag is righteously deserved - Highly recommended!
Wellington priest, Father Chris Skinner is fast becoming a New Zealand idol with a pop recording that critics have described as better than the original.
For this release, along with 11 other songs, Chris recorded pop star Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up", supported by veteran singer Taisha. It impressed radio and recording heavyweights so much that it has received great airplay on commercial radio, along with TV coverage.
"I am delighted with the recording of 'You Raise Me Up'", says Fr Chris modestly, before adding "The lyrics of the song are very powerful and encouraging. The haunting melody evokes the same sentiments. If my songs can reach people and support and encourage them in their lives, if they can enable people to express their inner feelings about their experiences and what's important for them, if the dignity and rights of people are acknowledged, raised and celebrated, I have achieved my goal".
