Jonathan Thulin “Science Fiction” Album Review

Hans Solo, Criss Angel, Jekyll & Hyde are not characters you expect to meet on a contemporary Christian record. In this regard, Jonathan Thulin's new album "Science Fiction" is not a typical Christian album. Rather, the album opens up like a novella where theatrical drama heighten the album's narrative plot and characters possessing three-dimensional personalities interact with us throughout these songs.

** Classic Christian Album ** Miriam Webster “Made Me Glad” Album Review

Fans of Miriam Webster must have felt the angst in trying to google for their favorite artist. This is because every search on the juggernaut search engine will end up with "Merriam-Webster." However, just like the famed dictionary, Webster herself has had copious songwriting entries in the Hillsong Worship portfolio.

Kathy Karnes “Faithful to the End” Album Review

When Kathy Karnes sings, you can't help but listen. Especially when Karnes croons a ballad, she has such a soothing low-reaching alto that you can't help but think of the late Karen Carpenter of the Carpenters' fame. It's that kind of torch singing built upon the tiny heart-surging inflections that can make the sappiest of songs sound like she's singing out your heart's deepest desires.

Revive Worship “Made Alive” Album Review

Some songs really make you hungry. Fumed with an aroma of an exquisite buffet of God's richest truths, "Made Alive" leaves one hungrier for God even after just one listen. Inspired by a sermon series based on Paul's letter to the Ephesians at church, the worship team of First Baptist Church of Loganville, Ga, could not get enough of the bounty of God's spiritual word, so they decided to put some of the truths they have had learnt into musi

NewSong “Faithful” Album Review

Way back in 2001, after being in the Christian music business for over 20 years, NewSong suddenly exploded far beyond the Christian music scene and became a worldwide phenomenon with one little song called "Christmas Shoes." Originally released as a bonus track on their 2000 CD "Sheltering Tree," little did NewSong realize this festive song had a way of topping the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart for three weeks, zoomed right up the country singles chart and caused a stir on the pop chart.

Third Day “Lead Us Back: Songs of Worship” Album Review

Though Southern rock has always been the default template of Third Day, there's always discernable threads of worship music in their prodigious portfolio of songs. And over their storied career where they have had received 28 chart topping singles and sold over 7 million records, Third Day's best moments are arguably encapsulated in their worship songs.

Rachel West Kramer "Majestic Glory" Album Review

With the prevalence of modern recording techniques, it's almost assumed nowadays that artists can sing in tune without the snafu of paltry backings. Though we have an overabundance of artists who can sing; but there are few who can pulverize us in a way that will get us holding our breath as we listen. Rachel West Kramer is an exception.

Jon Micah Sumrall “Faith and Family” Album Review

Jon Micah Sumrall's "Faith and Family" finds its zip code in Smallsville USA. By letting his aggressive electric guitars enjoy a well-deserved recess, the front man of Christian rock band Kutless has taken the back road home to one of his more introspective and mellow collections. Unlike the Kutless outputs, "Faith and Family," as the titular advocates, is a personal collection of songs Sumrall has amassed over the years.

Darin and Brooke Aldridge “Snapshots” Album Review

Bluegrass music often fall into a grave trapping. In an effort to get every piece of string on every instrument to be shimmering in lightning paced speed, many bluegrass songs sound like a race against time. As a result, many such songs sound like it's an exhibition of which virtuoso can be playing at the highest velocity with little regard for the song's meaning and nuances.
