CROWDER American Prodigal
On his second album after abandoning the “ David Crowder Band ” identity , Crowder shows again the thrilling eclecticism that ’ s long been his trademark . Every song features its own sound palette . Sparse electric piano , banjo , and heavily distorted blues stompers coexist with guest turns from rappers Kevin “ KB ” Burgess and Tedashii . Full gospel number “ All My Hope ” gives way to the “ We Will Rock You ” styleanthem “ Shouting Grounds .” Crowder ’ s lyrics show how songs can explicitly discuss sin and redemption in Christ without becoming trite . An
album like this rewards complete listening , not just piecemeal singles . Anyone who equates worship with snoring , or rock music with vague spirituality , can find their refutation right here .
TANYA GODSEY Love Lines the Last Horizon
A warm alto somewhere between Amy Grant ’ s rasp and Margaret Becker ’ s belt , Godsey works with producer extraordinaire Ben Shive on her third album . The result is radio-ready , piano-driven light pop that avoids the temptation to go fullout Adele . She excels at percussive , midtempo ballads drawing from Scripture and classic
hymnody . Highlights : the Imogen Heap-style
vocal harmonizer on the eschatological “ All Things Right ,” the Adele-like “ Beautiful War ,” and the pursuing spirit animating “ Anywhere You Are .”
NEEDTOBREATHE Hard Love
Christian-oriented music from Owl City to Twenty One Pilots continues to make substantial impact in the
mainstream , and Bear and Bo Rinehart ’ s sixth major label release joins the action . Coded Christian lingo like , “ Come to the fountain . Let me hear you testify ,” abounds , serving up positive thoughts and love songs . Sonics range from gospel to stomping country to echoing Coldplay-style anthems , with Bear ’ s quavering yet strong tenor holding it all together from one track to the next , recalling Chris Martin one moment and Sam Cooke the next .
SAM ASHWORTH Thieves
The Ashworth does not fall far from the tree . Not only do his soulful vocals eerily recall his father , artist / producer legend Charlie Peacock , but he also does himself credit as a songwriter and performer as well on this all-killer-no-filler five song EP of guitar-based pop . Eleven years have elapsed since his previous album ; hopefully the next will arrive much sooner .
