Feels Like Home Vol 1 & 2 - Israel & New Breed

-

 Israel Houghton, more popular through his Praise & Worship style albums and his moniker Israel & New Breed. Of course, when the revelation that he fathered 2 children from a lady he wasn't then-wife Meleasa Houghton, Israel lost a lot of fans. I know that was years ago people still should not be talking about it. I am just being real.

So this album like his album road to DeMaskUs is a little too Gospely for me. It is different if he was a gospel artist. But he really is Contemporary Gospel and Contemporary Worship than CCM or Gospel. 

The covers of his older songs are interesting... I prefer the original but gospel music fans would probably like the new versions. He also sang his version of How Great a song he wrong with multiple members of covenant worship including the Binions. He covered multiple popular ccm songs that like I said are not my preference but there are a lot of people out there who disagree with me.

He also has released a studio version of a song with Chandler Moore and a single version of Hymn Of Breakthrough. Hymn of breakthrough really is the traditional Israel and New Breed that we all know and love. This song would get me to buy the whole album. You know how amazon and apple save the best version of the fan-favorite songs for "album only".

I personally like part 2 much better I would recommend it. Great worship from Israel and I love the addition of Chandler Moore, Doe, and a few others that he has collaborated with previously 

Well, Happy listening !!!

Homecoming (Live) - Bethel Music

 Homecoming, when I first heard about this album I was thinking " That's an odd name for a worship album."  After listening to at least the first and last song ( and maybe a couple in the middle) the name makes total sense. I was super excited about this album, much more than the last album from Bethel Music titled "Revival's In The Air". Actually, most of the songs from that album are great songs they just took a while for me to realize it.  The first songs I will talk about are the song that you may have heard before. These would be, of course, Son of Suffering, Too Good To Not Believe, Hymn Of Heaven, My King Forever, and All Hail King Jesus.   My King Forever I like the song but I was expecting a spontaneous moment or something; since the song has been recorded by Josh Baldwin multiple times before now.   All Hail King Jesus was ehh. To be honest, I have not really been a fan of Bethany Wohrle (who lead the song on this album). I love the song sinc...

Inhale (Exhale) - MercyMe

 Two songs, that's it only two songs that actually did not make me want to fall asleep. Not trying to be rude or funny but is it sad I just realized that there are usually only 2 songs on a MercyMe album that do not make you tired. Not that is boring it just sounds like something I would use to put my little cousin to sleep.  If you listen to the radio and hear a MercyMe song, it is a good chance those would be the only songs you would like. It wasn't that memorable but it was peaceful so if you need noise to go to sleep this is it. I can't even say more than a paragraph and a half it is just simple. Well... Happy Listening !!! :-)
