GREATEST HYMNS collects highlights from Selah's first four studio albums, and provides an ideal introduction to this Contemporary Christian outfit. Selah merges traditional hymns with soulful R&B and world-music flavors (particularly the folk music of Africa, where two the trio's members grew up), and their sound is distinguished by bright, accessible pop arrangements and the rich vocals of singer Nicol Sponberg. Songs as seemingly diverse as "Bika Mona Ve (Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior)" and "Amazing Grace" represent Selah's smooth, genre-blending Christian pop on this excellent sampler.
