Slow Revival

Released in 1994 on Myrrh Records, Slow Revival is the seventh studio album by contemporary Christian singer-songwriter Bryan Duncan. The album represents a high-water mark for Duncan's signature fusion of blue-eyed soul, contemporary R&B, and soft rock. Lyrically, the album centers on themes of patience, self-examination, and spiritual recovery, inspired by Duncan's personal journey at the time of recording. The album was a major commercial success in its market, peaking at number five on the Billboard Top Contemporary Christian chart and spawning three consecutive number-one Christian radio singles: 'Traces of Heaven', 'Things Are Gonna Change', and 'United We Stand'. Musically, the record balances slick, mid-tempo adult contemporary pop with funkier, groove-driven tracks like 'Wheels of a Good Thing'. Slow Revival was nominated for Best Contemporary Album at the 26th GMA Dove Awards, cementing its status as one of the definitive Christian R&B releases of the 1990s.
