Hillsong “O Praise The Name (Anastasis)” Single Review

It started way back in 2013. As a preview to their perennial album, the Hillsong Worship team would drop a teaser come near Easter each year. They would release a baiting single of sort that serves two ends: first to whet our appetite for their forthcoming live release. And second, and more importantly, to service the church at large with new tunes to worship during the Easter season

Charles Jenkins and Fellowship Chicago "Any Given Sunday" Album Review

After carrying the torch for 20 albums or more, the Rev. Clay Evans finally passed the baton to Charles Jenkins in 2010. At the mere age of 36 then, Jenkins and the Fellowship Chicago released "The Best of Both Worlds" in 2012. Scoring their first #1 record since 1996, Jenkins and his choir etched an indelible mark on the charts with the release of the magniloquent ballad "Awesome."

The Old Paths “Stay” Album Review

Named after the words derived from Jeremiah 6:16, Old Paths have made it their mantle to walk in the good path, the straight and narrow highway paved only by the Lord. And as a quintet, they have never allow their feet to slip when it comes time to their choice of songs. Regardless of trends or the pressures from commercialism, the Old Paths have always been faithful in their proclamation of the Gospel through music.

Passion “Passion: Even So Come” Album Review

Together with Hillsong Worship, Bethel Music, Planetshakers and Elevation Worship, the live worship at each year's Passion's conferences have fashioned and patented the sound of modern worship. These worship groups collectively have coveted the lion's share of worship songs that are played across churches as reflected on the CCLI chart. "Passion: Even So Come" doesn't break that perdurable mold.

Natalie Cromwell “Up to Something” Album Review

There are some albums that are just made for the ear. Its infectious melodious hooks have ways of snagging us into a pandemic daze making us go viral over them. Then there are those records that are made for the mind. Stringed together with so many memorable lines that even C. S. Lewis will blush. They are staggered with storied of theological insights that make us want to ply through its layers with each listen. Then there are still other discs that make a bee line for the heart.

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.
