The most refreshing album I have listened to in quite a while has been Andrew Ehrenzeller’s Beauty is What Remains. His music reminds me of a cross between Jason Upton, Dave Matthews, Steven Curtis Chapman, and the International House of Prayer.
I’ve been refreshed with every listen and I honestly can’t put it down. Andrew’s music is prophetic, intimate, and powerful. His voice alone demands your attention. I really believe this album needs to be heard. It’s that good.
Andrew was gracious enough to do an interview with me during a ministry trip to Norway. This was my first time recording a Skype interview, so I apologize for the low quality 🙂

Sweet! I would love to win one of these CDs! I’m always looking for new CDs to inspire my music!
I love music from people that are off the beaten path. I would love to win the cd so that I can enjoy Andrews ministry through music.
Dave,
I love to find new worship. And I love when you lead worship. You are so passionate. Love it. If you love this CD then there is a very good chance that I will too.
Keep drawing people into HIS presence.
Peter
Thanks for the kind words, Peter. Appreciate you, man.
I need this cd because I’m coming back from Africa and need me some new tunes to commemorate this new season 😀
Music always commemorates the seasons. Can somebody say Caedmon’s Call Back Home?
Hey! I would love to have a CD. I had a friend from Norway…once. hahaha. It would be cool to see what the peeps from Norway are doing.
I would love to get this CD! I always enjoy catching new worship music – plus a David Santistevan recommended album can’t be passed up!!
i would love to have all 5 of the cd’s you’re giving away, so i can keep one, send one to the local Radio station, and give the others to friends as gifts. this album is nothing short of amazing- in lyrical concept, musical composition, vocal ability, and spiritual insight, i would put this CD in my truck, and go for an hour long drive on the highway blasting it singing at the top of my lungs. (hopefully i’m not the only one who does that?)
Agreed. I wish I could give you 5!
Well DJ David, you are batting a thousand this year in my book. I checked it out on itunes because I was intrigued by your description, very accurate. I have forgiven you for not telling me about Elevation Worship, but this Cd would help ease the pain. (I know it’s my fault for not reading your blog often enough.) The main reason I should win is that I WILL sing it at the top of my lungs with the windows down this spring! I’m not afraid to be THAT guy!
Well, thanks for reading my friend. You will totally LOVE this album.
I want a CD because I really enjoyed what I’ve heard and you can never be steered from by a David Santistevan recommendation. Also, I’m a poor graduate student so I don’t have money to buy all the music I want.
I would love to have a CD, I love worship. Thank you for the opportunity. God Bless you!
PICK ME! PICK ME! Dave. You should send 1 of these CDs to MN so as to spread the love across the country. I promise to tell my friends about it! Plus. We are working on starting young adults services at my home church….and we could use some awesome new worship music/inspiration. 🙂 And, pretty please with a cherry on top? Going to tweet about it now…
Oh…. the selection is random? Haha. Well then…. JESUS, I would really like you to put the odds in my favor because….
Well, Sarah, incredible comments like this may have a better chance 🙂
wow, such a great story Andrew has! definitely like his stuff from what i’ve heard on his website. lots of inspiration just hearing his story! so i am confident that his music will and is bringing it as well. so, with all of that to say – i would like his cd! 🙂
Awesome, Lindsay. Thanks for the comment!
I would LOVE to have a copy of this CD, and be given the opportunity to wear it out. I have already listened to it in its entirety, and already have 3 favorites. I can either win it or buy it, but either way, I hope to obtain a copy very soon.
This CD not only stirs me, it awakens me as a worshipper and intercessor.
I agree, Kathy. I hope you win!
I love getting new music and I’ve been told this one is AWESOME! Would so love to win it! Tweeted this as well.
I don’t exactly know this guy but he seems extremely nice and I would love his CD I am an Up and Coming Worship leader/ Song writer, and Would love to be inspired by what sounds like a great CD to me.
Hey, I am a worship leader as well and actually was given this cd by a friend in the orlando area. I put it in while I rocked my baby girl to sleep and was surprised at how actually MUSICAL it is. after I looked up Andrew on facebook, I wasn’t surprised that he has a degree in musical theory. I am by no means a musical theory expert but have enough of it to LOVE the 5/8 song “Light” on the album. It was different than what I have constantly in my house, which is IHOP, it is radio worthy and yet underground sounding at the same time. There is a good balance to reach those new believers as well as those who are really desperate and searching to go deeper in God. Love it!
Nikki Mathis
So true, Nikki! You can sense the musical maturity in the songwriting as well as in the band. I love that. I’m impressed that you noticed the 5/8 time signature 🙂 You must be a musician yourself?
Beautiful…. I would lOVE this because my heart is in need of listening to good music that speaks about God and HIs love and HIs goodness and I really feel this will minister life and joy to my soul
Amen! Thanks for the comment. Hope you win!
Hey David, I would like it just cause you recommended it and you have such great taste and insights. Nice interview.
i would love this cd! definitely need some new music to run to on my long runs since i’m training for a marathon and love to listen to worship music while running!
Wow! I bet with this album you could run a marathon in 20 minutes 🙂 I hope you win (both the CD and the marathon) When is it?
Every album you introduce me to has been a winner. I’m certain this won’t be any different. And if I can get a free copy while I’m at it, I’ll take it. 🙂
Andrew’s music is a sound straight from heaven! What an awesome artist!
Bro!
I need to take this back to Sweden on monday.
Hopefully I will;)
I want the CD because I’ve never heard of Andrew. I s’pose thats a great way to hear new music, eh?
I would love to grab this worship album because I listened from his website and Wow! So great and lifts up God’s glory!
Some tough competition I see. Well, I still have the Aftermath, Bethel Live, and that church from Florida on the way. The first two are incredible, and the third sounded great on the site. Maybe I will get itunes gift cards for my birthday next week and “win” Andrew’s CD that way. HA!
Bro, it’s worth the purchase. Maybe we should have a “listening party” 🙂
