Songwriting

Paul Oakley is a Christian music composer. Oakley states that he is passionate about the Christian religion, and he draws people’s attention to God’s love through his music. He also addresses that it is God who characterizes his songwriting. As music reviewers and auditors have described, the interplay between acoustic and electric rock element have given Paul a subtler sound than the past, while that rather adenoidal vocal sound that sometimes mars Paul’s lower register has been overcome here. Publishers from crossthythms states, "the key thing of the quality of the songs in worship circles is the melody as lyrics are usually recasting of concepts and phrases familiar since King David’s time. Paul’s new album has demonstrated the quality of the melody.
