Newport Worship “Paradise” Album Review

To cite Holy Writ, "every good tree produces good fruit." With the proliferation of prodigious talents such as Darlene Zschech, Mia Fieldes, Miriam Webster, UNITED, and Brooke Fraser, we are indeed enjoying the luscious fruits of Hillsong Church.

Heather Rice “Heather Rice” Album Review

It's a challenge to try to pigeonhole Heather Rice's new album. Like an exquisite piece of vintage oil painting, there are splashes of folk-country, dashes of New Orleans blues, splurges of New-Age-y jazz, and gallops of old school Gospel. They are all pigmented together to make this eponymous album one of the most enjoyable and colorful albums in a long while. With its variegated styles and its intricate creative nuances, there's hardly a soporific moment on these 10 cuts.

NCC Worship “You Alone” Album Review

The depth of one's worship is intrinsically bound up with the quality of nourishment one imparts into his or her soul. With senior pastor Mark Batterson (writer of best sellers such as "The Grave Robbers" and "The Circle Maker") as the gatekeeper of the Washington DC's National Community Church's spiritual food intake, you probably wouldn't expect their worship team to churn out emaciated spiritual songs filled with platitudes of clichéd triteness and superficially thin concepts.

Hillsong UNITED "Touch the Sky" Single Review

After spending almost a year at the penthouse position of the Billboard Christian Songs tally with their uber hit "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)," looks like UNITED's empire is not ready to topple.

Marty and Patti Elmore “Hand in Hand” Album Review

Marty and Patti Elmore's new album "Hand in Hand" does not just offers us tutorials in the faith. It also treks with us hand in hand through the labyrinths of life's most dire and complicated moments offering to us piquant encouragements from Scripture and leading us always to the Savior.

Joseph Habedank “Take Time to be Holy” Album Review

Hymns albums are tricky. What can an artist do to augment or make vigilant these hymns again when they have been around for hundreds of years? What audacity can we impose upon these sonic antiques and presume that we know how to interpret these tunes better than our forebearers who have had paid to sing these tunes with their lives?

Mike Farris “Shine for All the People” Album Review

Fending off stiff competition from T. Graham Brown, Tim Menzies, The Martins and Gaither Vocal Band, Mike Farris became the first recipient of the inaugural Best Gospel Roots album award at this year's Grammy Awards.

Gaither Vocal Band “Happy Rhythm” Album Review

"Happy Rhythm" is not just the title of Gaither Vocal Band's (GVB) new album, but it's an apt description of the pulsating celebrative cadence of the this live collection. Bill Gaither once again showcases why he is the grandfather of Southern Gospel music. Despite having 15 songs clocking in at three minutes shy of an hour, there's not a soporific moment on this album.

Matt Maher “Saints and Sinners” Album Review

When it comes to Matt Maher, you can always count on two things: here is a literate poet who is well-versed in history, theology and Scripture. Thus, no Maher song can ever be faulted on its lyrical triteness. On the other hand, Maher also has a way of taking some of the most learned truths and making them sing and sting to the average person on the street.
