Music to check out!

Ok.. so the most I’ve said about music on this blog so far was to make a personal condemnation on pop rap. Basically stuff like that lollipop song (I really don’t know the name nor do I care to), or that song about making love in a club. Can you really tell me that you can glorify God and listen to that? Didn’t think so.

Well I thought I’d make some recommendations!

Hillsong United

I’ll start with some awesome praise and worship music. Hillsong Church in Australia is no stranger to contemporary Christian praise and worship. Most have heard that extremely famous song by Hillsong’s Darlene Zschech, Shout to the Lord. You know… the Christian song that somehow made it onto American Idol this year. Well Hillsong Church has a huge youth group called Hillsong United and their band has become pretty famous and writes many songs that college and high school students as well as contemporary band across the world are singing to. Their latest CD is called The I Heart Revolution: With Hearts as One. It’s kind of a greatest hits live album. It features their most popular songs to date. If you get it I recommend Mighty to Save, One Way, What the World Will Never Take, Take It All, Hosanna, and Salvation Is Here.

If you must listen to rap then I will recommend a few artists. First check out Flame’s new CD, Our World Redeemed. It’s pretty good. Also check out Trip Lee. His newest album is called 20/20. We may listen and preview some of this music on Wednesday night so come check it out.

You can find all of these albums on iTunes. I’m sure amazon.com has them as well.
