John Schlitt “The Christmas Project” Album Review

Christmas music is seriously in need of a work out. Often tacitly designated as elevator muzak with its wisp sentimentality backed by effeminate-sounding orchestration, there is a dire need for more brawny barrel-chested Christmas albums. Thus, in a culture of gangling Christmas packages, we thank God for John Schlitt's "The Christmas Project."

Newsboys “Hallelujah for the Cross” Album Review

Founded in 1985 in Mooloolaba, Queensland in Australia, Newsboys have become the face of Christian rock music for nearly thirty years. While many bands have come and gone; and still others have wane in terms of their output and viability across the passage of time, Newsboys seem to be going from strength to strength

Hillsong Young and Free "Noel" Single Review

Way back in the late 1990s, Hillsong worship pastor Darlene Zschech had the vision that the young should have their own brand of worship music that speaks in the musical vernacular they could understand.

Bette Midler “It’s the Girls!” Album Review

Bette Midler is not a mere singer; she's an artist. She doesn't just sing; she knows how to incarnate herself into her songs. So that when she sings she animates the emotions and the characters of the songs she sings. "It's the Girls!" is Miss Divine's 14th studio album and her 25th album overall.

All Sons & Daughters “All Sons & Daughters” Album Review

You don't have to be George Barna to know that the major complaints surrounding modern worship songs often congregate around these perennial issues. First, many often feel jarred by the repetitive triteness of the lyrics of many worship songs.

Revelation “Christ for Me” Album Review

The Southern Gospel music scene is so littered with quartets and trios that it is reaching a point of saturation. Thus, when push comes to shove, sometimes it's a challenge to differentiate one group from another. And with the proliferation of groups comes the re-cycling of songs coming from the same canon that keeps getting replicated over and over again. So, thank God for Revelation.

Kim Walker-Smith “When Christmas Comes” Album Review

The ipseity of Jesus Culture has always been their big, anthemic, and stadium-filling worship created by the sound of thousands of worshipping voices. And being the matriarch of Jesus Culture, which initially emerged as worship for young people, Kim Walker-Smith has had always been known for her live worship singing.

Sarah Kelly “My Corner of Heaven” Album Review

The medieval view of heaven where angels gently strum the harps at their serene best won't score any points in Sarah Kelly's book. Singer cum songwriter Sarah Kelly on the title cut "My Corner of Heaven" gives us her version of what heaven is like.

Barry Manilow “My Dream Duets” Album Review

There's something ghastly spooky about Barry Manilow's "My Dream Duets." Released on the week of Halloween, this album finds the 71 year-old crooner opening the crypt to find his duet partners where most of them are already nothing but mere bones. In fact, all of Manilow's dream duet partners are all dead.

Worship Central “Set Apart” Album Review

"Set Apart" is the mouthpiece of the plebeian. What is most winsome about Worship Central's brand new live worship recording "Set Apart" is that it functions like many of the Psalms in Holy Writ. Articulating the heart cries of the ordinary Christian with concise perspicuity and never for once trivializing them, these are prayers offered to God in humble worship.
