Overview
Where the Light Is is Dan Bremnes's debut full-length on Sparrow Records, and it arrives with a production team that signals serious investment. David Garcia and Ben Glover — who between them have worked with artists like TobyMac, for KING & COUNTRY, and Francesca Battistelli — handle five of the eleven tracks. Scott Cash and Ed Cash (producer of Chris Tomlin's catalog) take three more. The result is a polished, contemporary CCM record that sits comfortably alongside the best of the genre's 2015 output.
Bremnes is a Canadian singer-songwriter with a warm, natural tenor and a knack for melodically direct worship-influenced pop. The songs here lean on themes of faith, surrender, and grace without tipping into the formulaic — "Heart on Fire," "He Knows," and the closing "At Your Feet (Surrender)" are the standouts, each built around a hook that earns its emotional weight. The production is clean and radio-ready without being over-processed, leaving enough room for the voice to carry the material.
For listeners already in the CCM space, this is a strong debut that holds up on repeated plays. For newcomers to contemporary Christian music looking for a well-crafted entry point, it's a solid choice.
