Producers: various
Triumph 1199
Loren Mulraine, who eschews his family name for recordings, is a true Renaissance man of modern gospel. An entertainment attorney and professor at Middle Tennessee State University, he clearly establishes on this primarily self-penned set that one need not park his intellect at the door to revel in the glories of great gospel music. Sensitive, melodic, hooky-but-heartfelt words and music reign supreme here. The grooves are far more soothing than slamming ("Show Me," "Closer to You," "In His Shadow"). Assisting the artist is a cadre of name producers and players who adorn Loren's soulful vocals with a sonic tapestry that is never less than awe-inspiring.

Bio
Loren Mulraine – Father Forgiven
For singer/songwriter/producer Loren Mulraine, it all starts and ends with the song.
From his days growing up singing in New York…to his college years studying Radio, TV and Film…to his time as a radio disc jockey…to teaching and then leading the largest music business program in the country…to his current career as an entertainment lawyer representing some of the leading artists in the music industry while developing the entertainment and music business program as law professor at Belmont University…Loren’s story has always been laser focused on music.
Combining Gospel and CCM, with R&B flavorings and pop sensibilities, Loren’s fifth solo project, (released 7/3/15), is his most dynamic recording to date. Produced by Loren along with Mike Alleyne, mixed by Grammy-nominated engineer/producer John Merchant, and mastered by renowned engineer Herb Powers, Jr., Father Forgiven is the follow-up to his 2010 album Fall On Me, which included radio hits “I Am” and “Fall On Me.”
After originally planning to release a 13-song project, Loren decided to split the project into two separate EPs, the second of which will be released in 2016. The first EP – Father Forgiven, announces its arrival with the infectious “Power” – driven by a Motown groove and dynamic horn arrangements reminiscent of Earth, Wind & Fire, and the energy never stops! The Philly soul ballad “All Things New” drives home the message “you make all things new, old things pass away, when I’m found in you, you make all things new.” Track three on the EP is the title song, which Loren has chosen as his first concept music video. The video for the guitar-driven “Father Forgiven” leaps from the speakers with Loren singing its a cappella intro before the cameras pick up band members one at a time, as the song develops – before culminating in a lush band and orchestral groove with a cinematic climax that symbolizes how our sins are washed away - “father forgiven, the very moment I believe, father forgiven, covered washed I’ve been made clean, my sins forgotten, thrown into the deepest sea, father forgiven, Father Forgiven!” Track 4 on the EP is the acoustic soul ballad “Bread of Life” and is destined to be a fan favorite. The project closes out with a totally reimagined reprise of “Power” - this time as a power ballad.
Loren’s previous projects include I’ll Meet You There (1993), In His Shadow (2000) which was critically acclaimed by Billboard Magazine, Spirit and Truth, Chapters I & II, (2007), and Fall On Me (2010). Get ready for the next phase of the journey…Father Forgiven!
