Britt Nicole’s debut album, Say It, released in May 2007, was a breath of fresh air for any pop music lover. Christian pop has never really been able to compete with current mainstream artists. However, Britt and her producers did an amazing job putting together music that is both fresh and […]

We Recommend: Bebo Norman, “Ten Thousand Days”
Singer-songwriter Bebo Norman made his national debut to Christian music with Ten Thousand Days, the follow up to his indie release The Fabric of Verse. A decade later, it continues to be a classic worth revisiting. Though I remembered the radio singles “Stand,” “The Hammer Holds,” and “I’m Alright,” it wasn’t until a year […]
We Recommend: Heath McNease, “The Heath McNease Fan Club Meets Tonight”
I actually took a chance on this CD when I bought it. I saw it sitting on the new release rack, and had no idea who it was. I had never even heard this dude’s name. But I looked at the tracklist and I saw guest appearances from Pigeon John, […]
We Recommend: Flyleaf, “Flyleaf”
By any measure, I’m definitely not a huge listener nor fan of the “hard rock” genre. And while Flyleaf certainly fits into this category, their self-titled debut, which released nearly four long years ago, is possibly my favorite Christian record of all time. Something about the entire disc just completely draws me […]
We Recommend: Dakoda Motor Co, “Into The Son”
Tonight, I sat down at my desk and got the sudden impulse to listen to one particular record. As I sat here wondering what the latest recommendation from us should be, it quickly became obvious. The funny thing about Dakoda Motor Co. and their 1993 Myrrh/Word debut Into The Son, is that when […]
We Recommend: Danyew, “Danyew EP”
While I’m starting to really tire of the whole “EP” thing right now, Danyew EP really stuck out to me. (Phil) Danyew, a multi-instrumentalist, put together a seemingly flawless collection of six songs, all special in their own way. It’s a unique keyboard-driven worshipful experience; with the epic “The Closer We Are,” the […]
We Recommend: Phil Wickham, “Cannons”
California worship leader Phil Wickham is a fairly new artist who’s written a respectful collection of worship songs since his self-titled debut in 2006. I’ve noticed that his style, however, isn’t for everyone. His vocals are undoubtedly unique and are expressed in a rather child-like fashion that is innocent and verbally poetic, especially in a generation where […]
We Recommend: Children 18:3, “Children 18:3”
I was actually introduced to Children 18:3 right here on this site and, upon reading David Goodman’s honest and accurate review, I ventured into purchasing the album that same day. I don’t mean to sound like a die-hard fan here, but this album carries with it what you might find to be […]
We Recommend: Emery, ‘”The Weak’s End”
Several years ago, I was all about watching TVU. My church had it playing in its game room, and whenever I went in there, I sat and watched video after video. In 2004, a new band had one of its videos playing, and from the opening screams of “Walls,” I […]
We Recommend: Seabird, “Til We See The Shore”
Last Summer, I had the pleasure of catching Seabird live at Vertical Fest in Shippensburg, PA. I was impressed by the raw passion and the talent this foursome displayed. This one live performance awakened an appreciation in me for this young and promising act. Currently on tour with Jars Of Clay, […]
