Artist: John Mark McMillan Title: Borderland Label: Lionhawk Records (Independent) Release Date: 03/04/2014 Reviewer: Josh Hamm Tracklisting: One faith is bondage. Two are free.

From his start, John Mark McMillan filled the void between a rightfully artistic mantra and shameless worship. While signed to Integrity Music, The Medicine and Economy both showcased this mentality, and while McMillan records independently, Borderland is the next installment in his series. Keeping in the tradition of McMillan's strategies, Borderland is a solid next step. McMillan has always been an experimental artist for his own songwriting, and Borderland is little exception...

It's no secret that John Mark McMillan is an incredible songwriter and musician, especially when you examine the poetic fortitude behind the lyrics of "How He Loves" from his album The Medicine. With Economy, the same dynamic and hard-hitting elements of McMillan's writing carry over to create a sense of familiarity, but in a fresh way. This release is noticeably different from his last, but still remains true to the identity and style that has been represented across the board by John Mark...

Integrity Music has always sought after worship artists from all different styles and perspectives; from the gospel greats of Israel Houghton and The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir to worship leader legends such as Brian Doerksen and Paul Baloche, "varied" has always been a key word to define Integrity's slew of signees. But even recently, the label has gone out of their way to find less-traditional talent, and John Mark McMillan is among the most exceptional...
