Jubilee: Juneteenth Edition - Maverick City Music

-

There are two parts to this Maverick City Album the worship part and the studio part. I personally do not really like the studio part except the song with Koryn Hawthorne and the Intro with Lecrae.  

Although Maverick City claims this to be a gospel album, the worship portion stays true to the traditional Maverick City sound with a slight African Style in a few songs. 

My favorite song from this album is either Freedom Looks Good on You or Son Of Suffering. I like Mighty One and Breathe, I just feel those are overly played because of who is in it. 

Freedom Looks Good on You is one of the two new songs featuring Israel Houghton that I liked. I like this song because it sounds a little African and it is a great song talking about how Jesus set us all free and how that changes the way we look.

Son of Suffering! I love this song so much! I was actually looking forward to Aaron Moses singing it since he is the one who wrote but I don't know if he can come back from that. I love the vocals from Jekalyn Carr and Chandler Moore. I heard about David Funk ( another writer of the song) is planning to release his version. I have never heard one of David Funk's songs so that will be interesting.

I like Joy of The Lord featuring Katie Torwalt, who in my opinion is one of the most underrated sing/songwriters in CCM/Gospel Music. You the songs Holy Spirit and When You Walk Into the Room, right? Well, those were penned and originally sang by her and her husband Bryan. She is the only non-Maverick City member to be featured on both Jubilee albums and ironically the only white person on the album.

I like the Maryanne J. George songs, I feel God is going to do something great with her someday.

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 !!! :-)

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 wi...
