Eddy Mann’s Turn Up the Divine Inspires with Soulful Worship and Poetic Grace

Eddy Mann returns with Turn Up the Divine, a stirring and soul-filled collection that blends contemporary Christian, gospel, folk, and R&B influences into a deeply spiritual musical experience. With over 20 albums in his catalog, Mann has long proven himself as a faithful storyteller and worship leader, and this latest release reaffirms his place as one of Christian music’s most thoughtful and heartfelt voices.

The album’s lead single, “Just Like Jesus,” is a standout anthem that sets the tone for the record’s overarching message of grace and compassion. Drawing directly from the Beatitudes, the song reminds us that Christ’s love consistently reaches those society overlooks—the poor, the mourning, the meek, the merciful. Set against a groove-laden Philly soul backdrop, Mann’s smooth and understated vocals gently but powerfully deliver a message that’s as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago. The accompanying music video further elevates the song’s impact, pairing spiritual truth with a sense of visual warmth and inclusiveness.

Beyond the lead single, Turn Up the Divine is filled with poetic reflections and spiritual insights that linger long after the music fades. “The Humble Cottage by the Sea” offers a beautifully imagined scene of Jesus healing in the home of a fisherman, inviting listeners to see the divine in life’s quiet, broken places. The folk-pop arrangement supports the story without overwhelming it, and Mann’s tender delivery makes the miracle feel personal and present.

“I’m Coming” is a moment of intimate confession—an acknowledgment of God’s omniscience and nearness. Rather than instilling fear, the lyrics comfort and reassure, reminding the listener that no matter our flaws, God is already drawing near with love. Likewise, “Relentless Love” speaks to God’s unwavering pursuit of His people, emphasizing that our ability to love and forgive is rooted in His own example.

Tracks like the singles, “Did I Ever” and “String of Pearls” showcase Mann’s strength as a lyricist and theologian. He uses natural and poetic imagery to explore how grace takes root and grows in a believer’s life. These songs feel like devotional readings set to music—deep, yet accessible.

While the album has a contemplative and often subdued tone, it never feels repetitive. Each track carries a distinct spiritual focus and musical flavor, making the album both cohesive and dynamically varied. Whether it’s the gentle encouragement of “Fly Fly Away” or the meditative simplicity of “A Manifest of Grace,” Mann consistently delivers content that feeds both heart and soul.

Production throughout the album is organic and warm, allowing the lyrics and melodies to breathe. There's a sincerity in every strum, every note, that reflects Mann’s heart as a worshiper and artist.

Final Thoughts: Turn Up the Divine is more than just another Christian album—it’s a worshipful journey, a lyrical devotion, and a spiritual encouragement wrapped in heartfelt melodies and thoughtful production. Eddy Mann invites us not only to listen, but to reflect, to feel, and ultimately to turn up the divine presence in our own lives.
