Robert Galea – Closer

CD cover design "Closer"
Robert Galea is a seminarian reading for a theology and philosophy degree at the University of Malta. While on this road towards priesthood he also has a great passion to let the cry of his heart shout loud through his music.

Following the tremendous success of his 3-track single ‘More of You’, released in 2004, he has been given the opportunity to record his latest project in the UK under top Christian Music producer Neil Costello (City of Gold, Spring Harvest, One Heart One Voice). With musicians such as Mark Prentice (Delirious), Neil Costello (Gloria Gaynor), Paul Evans (Tim Hughes and Matt Redman) and more, as well as Robert’s “rich vocals” (Phil Loose ICC Records), “transparent and real lyrics” (Chris York EMI Christian Music Group) and catchy tunes, this project caught the attention of a number of international Christian record labels during his short stay in the United Kingdom.

“The reason for this recording” says Robert “is not simply one of expression or statement-making, but a fulfilment of a desire to give people the opportunity to understand my love for God, and, more importantly, my meagre understanding of God’s love for us, and in doing so may begin to love Him too. I do believe that love is very contagious. My idea for this album, or for writing songs at that, is nothing than to help the so many who find it hard to ‘connect’ with a God, who sometimes, if not all the time, seems so far away.”

Robert firmly believes that the Christian Music industry in Malta, though selling a considerable amount of records every year, deserves a boost in quality and needs to be taken so much more seriously. “Christian music has so much to offer, especially with today’s constant negative, atheistic messages being sounded by secular music. There are so many great Christian musicians and songwriters out there, and I know this is just the beginning of something awesome in contemporary Christian music.”

‘Closer’, Robert’s debut album contains 10 worship songs which were all written or co-written by Robert himself. The songs on this record are published by Daybreak Music, and the album is being distributed in the UK and the rest of Europe (apart from Malta that is) by ICC Records. It is being supported by APS Bank.

‘Closer’ is available from all leading record stores, as well as Christian bookstores around the island. For more information visit www.thatsworship.com.
