A Very Maverick Christmas - Maverick City Music

-

 Calling all the worshippers, Calling all the worshippers!!! Are you worshippers or worship leaders at heart?   Do You love Christmas music? If so this album is for you! 

My favorite Christmas worship album is Dwell: Christmas is sung by the Binions. My favorite song from there is Making Room! I had a chance to hear it live at the Habitation Conference 2019 and then I knew it was spirit-filled. 

This album has a slightly more gospely feel overall than their past albums. They even brought in the Mav city Gospel Choir. When I talk about the album it will be from my favorite song to my least favorite.

The first two songs I want to talk about are the ones with Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham. I don't know what is with Phil Wickham lately not only has he been a featured artist on three albums recently,  he has been in the spirit with his praise and worship album Hymn of Heaven.  I am actually praying for him because with this much anointing comes much testing!  Now to the songs lol. The first song they sing is a song they wrote and it is sooo good.  In Silent Night which also features Kim Walker-Smith, start with the Christmas carol, and then it goes almost in a spontaneous worship moment. It sounds like a bethel song but I am not sure.

Gratitude/Worthy of it All/ You're worthy of my praise features both Brandon Lake and Natilie Grant. This right here is fire. Gratitude many know from Brandon's solo album and Worthy of it All has become an anthem in churches worldwide! 

The next best songs are with Kim Walker-Smith! She sings Away in a manger with Chandler Moore and they start singing the chorus to Elevation Worship's song titled Worthy! She also sings the popular Hillsong song King of Kings with the popular carol Angels we have heard on high.

Go tell It on the mountain, Gonna Tell Somebody, O Holy Night, and Noel all have a kinda soulful vibe. The first three feature Melvin Crispell. With the first two featuring Chandler Moore and Gonna Tell Somebody and Noel featuring Lizzie Morgan.

The first track features Todd Galberth praying and then it goes into a spontaneous song by him and Naomi Raine. The song after is Joy to the World/ Joy of the Lord which is basically a hymn with an original song.

Those are the highlights so 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 since I he

Phil Wickham & Bethel Music album?

-
 If you are a fan of modern worship music, then you probably have heard of Phil Wickham. Well for the last ten years his most popular songs have been writing collaborations with Bethel Music and Jesus Culture.     I had this idea that he calls over all these people he wrote with, and records an album titled "Phil Wickham: The Bethel Sessions (Live)". He calls his friends Jeremy Riddle, Chris Quilala, and  Kalley (who are no longer with Bethel Music, though Chris is still part of their affiliate church/group Jesus Culture) to come over to his church so they can record the album. Then he ask his good friend Brian Johnson to rally all the Bethel Music troops he wrote with (Brandon Lake, Cory Asbury, Zahriya Zachary, and himself) to come and record too! Maybe there will be appearances from Hillsong's Chris Davenport and Reuben Morgan, the Legend Matt Redman, the Passion Crew (Kristian Stanfill, Sean Curran and etc), Mack Brock formally of Elevation,  and Josh Farro!  This wo

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 !!! :-)
