Marlene’s album is filled with many hidden gems, applicable for both the avid Christian music listener, as well as the seeker too. That’s what makes this album special- many tracks on the album are of the motivational and inspirational variety and are able to draw in the casual listener with some positive, uplifting and stirring music; where they listen and the Holy Spirit speaks. ‘Reach the Sky’, the title track, is one of these songs. As the synth keyboard starts up, Marlene offers console and support to those feeling like they can’t move on with their dreams and aspirations.

Thematically, Reach the Sky centers around relationship with God, surrender, faith, and trust. While mostly bright and happy, there are thoughtful songs that run a little deeper to help provide a good balance. The album instantly establishes and maintains throughout a hopeful and positive outlook. And it’s precisely this easy, breezy feel that makes Marlene Brehm so appealing.
