Benita Jones “The Entreating” Album Review

When Integrity Music decided to work with Tyscot Records a few years ago, they have rightly extended the boundaries of worship music to include more color and soul. Where worship music once was defined as the white church's songbook, through this merger, they have eradicated such racial boundaries. They have now included more worship leaders of color and their execution of worship come with more fluidity and spontaneity. Benita Jones' debut record "The Entreating" for Integrity/Tyscot is a prime example of this.

Jesus Culture “Church (Vol. 1/Live)” Album Review

"Church (Vol. 1/Live)" sounds like a greatest hits collection for a couple of reasons. First, the record is choke full of singles: the majority of these songs sound like stand alone hits. Second, many of these songs are already stand alone hits. Instead of writing new and untried songs, various worship leaders have decided to re-cut their best crafted songs live.

Micah Tyler “New Today” Album Review

Micah Tyler has a voice that commands attention. His powerhouse tenor has a way of rousing our spirits in holy abandonment when the tempo accelerates. And in the more tender moments, he brings out a soulful disposition that strums upon our hearts' strings. With such a voice like that, Tyler can tackle any genre of Christian music without any trouble.

Luke Wareham and Rachel Mason “Whisper” EP Review

Many worship songs are nothing more than spurts of prayers delivered in the spur of the moment. There's nothing wrong with this if you have been meditating on the Word of God day and night. Unfortunately, this is more than often not the case. This is why many of our songs are often bereft of depth and as a result this has often been used as a reason why we shouldn't be singing contemporary compositions in churches today. Thank god we have worship leaders like Luke Wareham and Rachel Mason.

Steffany Gretzinger “Forever Amen” Album Review

Quietly and without fanfare, Steffany Gretzinger has dropped her debut solo album "Forever Amen" on us. This is her first full-length album since her departure from Bethel Music last year. In the same manner as the way the record was released, the songs (8 newly recorded worship numbers and 1 instrumental) are on the quieter side rifled with lots of slower and contemplative moments.
