The pair also shines with a passionate love for their Savior, whom they are contagiously committed to sharing with their peers.
Working with producers Rick Elias, Mike Lenny and Ken Mary, LaRue has created a collection of songs that bely their few years in lyrical depth, and treat listeners to a vocal banquet, at once breathy soft, then almost growling with rich, honey-tinged strength. The group's sound lays warm, lilting harmonies atop fresh, energetic guitars, for a result that's closest to acoustic-based pop, but hints of modern rock on the edges. Both the sound and the songs are straight from the heart of teenagers to teenagers, with Phillip and Natalie co-writing every song on the album themselves, and trading lead vocals with no sign of sibling rivalry.
Angels and Peace

As I go to sleep
Sing praises to the King Angels
Lord, my heart I bring
My soul longs for Thee
Needs Your love, Your peace
Your peace

I've had a fascination with angels. I just love angels; I love the idea of
Angels. It's just such a beautiful concept."-Phillip

The middle of the night when you are having a hard time sleeping, and
It's just you and the Lord. This is what you would say."-Natalie
