I’m going to make a strong comment in this review but I’ve been thinking about it now for the last few weeks as I’ve listened to more and more albums. Justin McRoberts is the absolute best independent Christian music male artist I’ve heard since I’ve been blogging here at Christian Music Fan. I received his album “Deconstruction” for review a number of weeks ago and I just can’t stop playing it over and over and telling everyone I know about him and this album. His clean and clear vocals really remind me a lot of Derek Webb, and his straight to the heart and mindRead More →

Over the past year I’ve developed a new appreciation and enjoyment for the music of U2. I also have a few different contacts with musicians that have connections to Africa. When I heard about “In the Name of Love: Africa Celebrates U2” I knew I had to get the CD and listen to it. As soon as I slid this disc into my CD player in the car, I knew I wasn’t going to be disappointed. The music and rhythms and lyrics were comfortably familiar, but the voices and instruments were unique and beautiful all in their own right. The title track was even featuredRead More →

Do my ears deceive me? Are the final 8 American Idol finalists singing a boldly worship song by Darlene Zschech, “Shout to the Lord”. This is old news I guess now but I’m just now catching up. They performed this song last night for “Idol Gives Back” on Wednesday night but U-verse failed to realize that “Idol Gives Back” is part of the American Idol series recording. Luckily they performed it again tonight and I got to see it. Aside from being surprised, could you tell which singers didn’t appear to be too excited to be singing the song? What do you think? Am IRead More →

The Clark Brothers were one of the guest performers on the American Idol results show tonight. My friend Ryan gave me the heads up about expecting some spiritual overtones for tonight’s show right before I started watching tonight on the DVR. Quite a different act than you’d expect to see on American Idol. The Clark Brothers performed “This Little Light of Mine”. Not the song you’d expect to hear anywhere out of Sunday School, much less on Fox television. As if that wasn’t weird enough, The Clark Brothers performed it like a hard-rock country group. There’s no doubting their talent on string instruments though that’sRead More →

Jeanne over at Idol Stalker just gave me the heads-up that Mandisa is doing really well with her debut release. Specifically, her song “Only the World”, she recorded with tobyMac and Kirk Franklin is doing extremely well. So well that she’s only trailing Beyonce on the Billboard Overall Single Sales at #2. Correction: “Only the World” is Mandisa’s solo release from her upcoming album. The song she recorded with tobyMac and Kirk Franklin was “Lose My Soul”, which is also great and can be heard on Mandisa’s MySpace page. In the original article on Christian Today, Mandisa said this about her faith and being onRead More →
