OK, so I’m not a big Christian music fan (whatever “Christian music” is. I still can’t figure out what makes a song “Christian.”) I don’t listen to K-Love, and I don’t buy much Christian music, basically because it’s usually sappy prom songs for Jesus.
But I do like worship music and I’m a fan of Chris Tomlin. I know some think his music is a little on the simple side, but that’s one thing I like about it. One of the trends I’m seeing in worship music right now is to write songs that have a post-modern feel. That’s all well and good, but the problem is they’re hard to sing along with. That’s one of the ideas of worship music, right? To get others to sing along?
That’s what I like about Tomlin’s music. It’s simple and sing-able. And as simple as it is, it just leads you to a place where your heart is stirred and lifted to God. So, my recommendation goes to Chris’ new album, Hello Love.
Personal faves...
• Sing, Sing, Sing
• Jesus Messiah (Absolutely awesome worship song.)
• You Lifted Me Out
• Exalted
• My Beloved
