She and Him "Classics" Album Review

Not everyone can do justice to the American songbook. Though by default and protocol every artist these days is churning out cover albums left, right and center, not every one of them works. Some are just embarrassingly bad, bereft of any understanding of how to carry these eternal and immortal tunes with new and yet reverent nuances.

Paul Baloche “Christmas Worship” Album Review

Worship leaders are often in a vexing bind when it comes to Christmas. On one hand, with only four Sundays between Thanksgiving and Christmas, it is a tall order for them to introduce brand new Christmas worship songs within such brevity of time. This is because once when the congregation starts getting familiar with these new worship paeans, the season is already over.

Hillsong Worship "Peace Has Come" Single Review

Hillsong Worship, the worship team that first brought the Australian church to an international level, is not about to toppled by its younger counterpart Hillsong Young and Free (Hillsong Y&F).

Mary J. Blige “The London Sessions” Album Review

"The London Sessions" is Mary J. Blige's cross-continental affair. Incarnating the adage that the grass is greener on the other side, Blige has traveled across the pond, lived in London, partnered with the best of the Brit soul lovers and now we have "The London Sessions."

Elevation Worship "Wake Up the Wonder" Album Review

Elevation Worship's brand new album "Wake Up the Wonder" is the perfect specimen for a study of what is going right and what is seriously erring in modern worship music today.

Rend Collective “Campfire Christmas Vol. 1” Album Review

If Momford and Sons have first cousins in contemporary Christian music they would be Rend Collective. Rend Collective brings to the Christian music genre a raw streak of rootsy Americana that borrows the expressiveness of neo-hippie rock and the rustic folk of Guy Clark & Emmylou Harris; music that is far more gritty, organic, and raw than vast swath of today's country music.

Hillsong Worship "We Have a Savior" Album Review

As soon as we hear the moniker Hillsong two things come to mind. First, known for providing the songbooks for a large swath of churches today, many of would think of their bombastic hooky anthems such as "At the Cross," "Worthy is the Lamb" and "Hosanna." Second, they are known for their live worship recordings. However, their latest Christmas offering "We Have a Savior" certainly challenges such preconceptions

Kristin Chenoweth “Coming Home” Album Review

No two albums of Kristin Chenoweth are alike. Though she has been matriculating within the school of Broadway, musicals and TV circuits in her earlier years, when she was offered a recording contract, she puts her creativity on first gear. Her debut album for Sony Classic is as about as cliché as you would have expected from Chenoweth.

Tribute “The Thought of Christmas” Album Review

When Tribute sings, it's a challenge not to pay attention. Attested across their most recent triumvirate of releases, "Hit Replay Again," "Journey of Hope" and this their second release this year "The Thought of Christmas," the quartet has a way of choosing songs with melodies that are so tight that they prevent us from roving in boredom midway through the songs.

Trisha Yearwood “PrizeFighter: Hit After Hit” Album Review

Trisha Yearwood has had taken our imagination for the ride with her unforgettable tales. Who can forget the romance of Katie and Tommy in that one horse town in Yearwood's debut #1 hit "She's in Love with the Boy." Who hasn't had our hopes up as we travel with the dreamy-eyed Elvis wanna-be to the "Wong Side of Memphis."
