Christian Music Reviews

Awaken - Your Love Is: We don`t normally review E.Ps here but I was sent a couple of mp3s from this record and really liked it! Known by You was the first song I heard and it was my favourite. After a short guitar and drum-fill heavy intro we are straight into "four to the floor" and the worship begins! This upcoming band are definitely worth checking out! 4 Stars

Isaac Carree - Uncommon Me: All round nice guy and good Christian family man Isaac Carree is back with another superb offering. He started out back in the early `90s and I have personally been following him for some time. It was always been fairly obvious that he is not as comfortable as a solo artist but we don`t care. This record is definitely worth a listen. 4 Stars

Earnest Pugh – I Need Your Glory: I think the title for this long player may be a bit deceiving. It sounds like Earnest is a bit lost but that is certainly not reflected in the music here. Ministering to the listener from the stereo you will be satisfied and uplifted by the songs on offer and we hope that you enjoy them as much as we did. This man really does have a powerful voice! 4 Stars

Casting Crowns - Until the whole world hears: The latest long player from one of our favourite worship bands really takes some beating. Although it has not featured as heavily in terms of chart success as we would have hoped it really is a smashing record. Big up to the guys from "the crowns" for delivering on such a consistent basis over the last few years. 5 Stars

Kutless - It is Well: The first Kutless album that I actually heard was their Live in Portland record. I loved it, they can really play their instruments! In the liner notes for this record it says that the band recorded over 100 songs and then chose only the best and most meaningful songs to feature on this album. It really shows! It is one of those records that you listen to in its entirety without skipping through the tracks. 4 Stars

The Best New Praise and Worship Songs Ever, Volume 3: OK, so we don`t normally review compilations but it was suggested to me by a friend so here it is. The songs are pretty varied and the stand out track are definitely "Your Love is Everything" and "Blessing and Honour". It`s worth a listen but it's not exactly cutting edge contemporary music now is it? Or am I mistaken? 4 Stars

Sidewalk Prophets - These Simple Truths: For their very first album on a major record label, the Sidewalk Prophets have enlisted a hot-shot producer to create an expensive sounding record. It pays off in our opinion. This record may not be worship in style but it certainly is in substance and lyrical content. We are definitely recommending this album to those with discerning ears. 5 Stars.

Red - Until We Have Face: This is major album number 3 from the boys from Red, one of our favourite Christian Rock Bands. After releasing a sneak preview video on you tube, fans started to go wild in anticipation for this long player. I like how this band uses social media to connect with their fans, and people are really lapping it up. For me, its not a ground breaking record but I like it. 4 Stars>

Casting Crowns - Self Titled Album: Casting Crowns say that they are focused on discipleship through music. We love this phrase! The brainchild of one Mark Hall, who apparently started out giving services to his fellow students whilst studying in Atlanta. The stand out track on this album for us has to be "Until the Whole World Hears", hard hitting lyrics are a feature of this album throughout. Definitely worth a listen. 5 Stars
