Majestic is the second live album by Christian singer and songwriter Kari Jobe. It is her first on Sparrow Records. The album was recorded at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas, Texas, was produced by Jeremy Edwardson and released on March 25, 2014. It has attained critical acclamation and commercial successes.
The material took two years to develop for the release. According to Jobe, the music is about helping people connect with the majesty of God and His son Jesus Christ, whether they are a believer or not. She said that she could not get the lyrics made by herself alone that is why she teamed-up with others, but in doing this she had to allow herself to be vulnerable in getting out of her "comfort zone". The album was recorded at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas, Texas during the performances on November 20–21, 2013. It was produced by Jeremy Edwardson. The album released on March 25, 2014 by Sparrow Records.
The songs "Hands To the Heavens", "Only Your Love" and "How Majestic" are in the Brit-rock genre. "Hands To the Heavens" features electric guitars and "solid drumming". However, a critic did not like the arrangement of the bridge section because it would be hard to utilize in a corporate worship setting. "Breathe On Us" is a more "up-tempo" track in comparison to its predecessor. "Only Your Love" is a "jazzy song", with a guitar lead. "Keeper of My Heart" contains "marching" drums, and "stirring" electric guitar work. "Always Enough" is a soft worship anthem with "rousing" guitars, "an epic" crescendo, and "a captivating" instrumental bridge to the song. The piano-led "Forever" is a ballad and a worship anthem. "How Majestic" is an anthemic worship-esque song. "When You Walk In the Room" contains a "stellar" crescendo. "I Am Not Alone" is a "gorgeous" and "poignant" ballad, which contains a "rich" piano lead. "Lord Over All" is a mid-tempo song that is a guitar-driven anthem. "Look Upon the Lord" is a delicate piano ballad, which contains "Coldplay-esque swelling guitars." "Let the Heavens Open" is a Brit-rock song, which is in the vein of Delirious?.
