Alpha Omega Kutless CD Review and Giveaway!

About Kutless:

Since signing to BEC Recordings in 2001, Kutless has transformed from a new rock band to a staple artist in the industry that has multi-format, top-charting hits, sold millions of records and more than eight million streams. Launched by original members Jon Micah Sumrall (lead vocals) and guitarist James Mead, the band formed first as a modern rock/worship band at Warner Pacific College in Portland in 2000. Kutless has two RIAA Gold-selling albums for Strong Tower and Live from Portland. The band has had 12 No. 1 radio singles across all formats including their major hits "Strong Tower,” "What Faith Can Do" and "Carry Me To The Cross.”

After more than 15 years together and reaching fans around the world, Kutless continues to be focused on sharing the Gospel with a younger generation that is searching for answers.

“We really believe that music can make a difference in people’s lives,” shares Jon Micah Sumrall. “Music is an incredibly powerful tool that can break down walls and allow us to communicate a message of hope to people who may not listen otherwise. We are still recording and performing because we really do believe it makes a difference. We hear stories all the time from people who share with us how a concert or a song has radically impacted their life, and it’s these types of testimonies that keep us going year after year.”

In 2012, Kutless formed EOTA Ministries (End of The Age) to expand their evangelistic outreach around the globe. EOTA is the non-profit arm that aids Kutless in hosting large, free outreach concerts and events. In 2015, they partnered with other organizations to bring concerts to Kiev, Ukraine and other cities for six events - the largest of their kind in that country. The next year, Kutless returned to 11 cities in Ukraine as well as in Belarus, a communist country, where more than 100,000 heard the Gospel and over 40,000 commitments to Christ.

With their upcoming album ALPHA / OMEGA, Kutless has created a collection of rock and worship songs of both original and cover tracks that are true to who the band has been for the last 17 years. They wanted to create a project that would engage the Christian community and have the greatest impact. The songs are true to who the band is at their core - rock and worship. ALPHA / OMEGA features a new version of “Strong Tower” as well as the debut radio single “King of My Heart.”

  My Thoughts

I am really enjoying this album by Kutless. While many of the songs I already know (they are common worship songs) there were a few that I wasn't familiar with. The songs that I did already know, they did a wonderful job in keeping it the way I had heard it. Many times people take an original song and make it sound totally different (this is a pet peeve of mine). Kutless did not do this I made me enjoy the songs even more. If you enjoy great music this is the album for you!

All In Matthew West CD Review and GIVEAWAY

Matthew’s heart behind the album:

Matthew wrote his new album All In with the goal of encouraging himself and others to get up off the sidelines of their faith and really live it out – to go all in in your time with God, all in with your family, all in with your community, and all in battling your fears that may hold you back from becoming who God made you to be. Along that same theme, Matthew will be launching a 6-week All in Challenge on his social media starting 9/18, and each week Matthew will be challenging his fans to go all in in a different part of their lives. What does it look like when a heart that knows Jesus takes a step and holds nothing back? How can we go All In in the places that mean the most?

Mandisa CD Review and Giveaway!

Story Behind The Album

Acoustic Video for "Unfinished”

Purchase link

Mandisa wrote her song “Overcomer” in 2013 to encourage her close friend

Kisha, who was battling breast cancer. Mandisa really believed and prayed

that God was going to heal her, but when Kisha went to be with Jesus in

2014, Mandisa’s foundation was shaken in a way she never expected. She

fell into a deep pit of depression for close to 3 years, shutting out her

friends, family and the rest of the world. Mandisa believes if she had kept

going down that road she was on, she would not be here today… but God

stepped in and lifted her out of that pit by using her close friends to

communicate their love for her and God’s love for her. This album is

Mandisa’s way of letting her fans into her story – it’s called 'Out Of The

Dark' because that is exactly where God lifted her out of!

You can watch her talk openly about this on Good Morning America last

week here.

My Thoughts

 I am LOVING this album! This is different than previous Mandisa music in my opinion. I feel like there is a lot more heart and just great songs. Of course it has been on repeat in my car every day. I love I'm Still Here, Bleed the Same ( gave me goosebumps the first time I listened to it VERY good!), and the One He Speaks Through.  They are all great but these are my favorites right now.She deals with so many issues in this album and so many of the songs spoke to my heart. If you haven't heard these songs or of Mandisa, you need to check out this album ASAP.

Amy Grant Tennessee Christmas CD Review And Giveaway!

Amy Grant has always had some classic songs that are in my collection. This album makes a nice addition. Some of the songs I didn't love but the main ones I enjoyed are Melancholy Christmas, I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm, and Baby, It's Cold Outside. There are so many new Christmas songs and music that come out every year I usually just stick to my old favorites. This is the first year where I actually have listened to some new music and artists. I still like the oldies and classic songs but it is nice to add some new in once in awhile. 

If you are looking for some good Christmas music this could be the album for you!

My Thoughts

I haven't been this excited about an album for a long time! I had no idea Nichole had a new CD coming out, it's been awhile. I met her once at a conference and I LOVE her music and lyrics. This CD only has six songs on it but they pack a punch and it has been on constant repeat since I got it in the mail. 

It's encouraging to hear new Christian music that still has good lyrics. 

Great album you will love it.

Hillsong Empires CD Review + Giveaway

My Thoughts

I've only recently become a fan of Hillsong United and I really enjoy their worship music. We've sang some of their songs in church and I listen to them in my car and it's always uplifting. This album is more slower songs and a couple upbeat ones. I encourage others who like this type of music to look them up and listen to the words in these songs. If you haven't heard of Hillsong United I hope you enter the giveaway below or at least check them out on iTunes.

Highly recommend! This is a great CD.

I’m really passionate about the song SKY SPILLS OVER.  It was fun creating it in the studio and I’ve been overwhelmed at the response it gets when we perform it live every night.  My son Ryan is a really talented filmmaker so I always enjoy working with him on a project.  But what made this project even more special was that 3 of my own grandkids were in the video.  This video was a lot of fun to make.  I hope people enjoy it!"

Plumb CD Review and Giveaway

About PLUMB:

Tiffany Arbuckle Lee, better-known by her stage name Plumb, is a songwriter, recording artist, performer and author. Plumb has sold more than 500,000 albums and over two million singles worldwide, co-penned songs for numerous other artists, including Michelle Branch, Mandisa, Mandy Moore, Jaci Velasquez, and Natalie Grant, and had music placed in many films and television shows.Originally signed as a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) recording artist in 1997, Plumb is now known as well as or better in alternative rock, electronic dance music, and for the use of her music in film and television than she is in the CCM market.

About the album:
EXHALE, the seventh studio album from acclaimed multi-genre singer, songwriter and author PLUMB, expresses a new focus and vision. After the runaway success of NEED YOU NOW (the album, title track and book), which coincided with her own moving story of brokenness and ultimately healing, Exhale brims with worshipful songs of gratitude and hope.
The defining concept of EXHALE was born from a sermon at Plumb’s home church, wherein her pastor Pete Wilson expressed the notion that the Church doesn’t exist for itself. Rather, believers come to church to breathe in grace and truth, be changed, and then go out and “exhale” that hope into their surrounding community.
“That idea of exhaling hope hit me right away and I couldn’t get to the Notes section on my phone fast enough. I started writing the chorus of Exhale right then and there,” explains Plumb. “I have been made new by the ultimate hope, and I want to share and exhale that hope in everyway I can.” 

My Review

I actually hadn't heard of Plumb until I heard her on the radio recently. Then when I was browsing iTunes I noticed she had a new album coming out ( many tracks you can buy on iTunes now). So I was thrilled when I got the opportunity to listen to her entire album! I love her voice and the words to her music are wonderful. Exhale is the main song and title of the CD, and it's a great song! The one I've heard on the radio though is Lord I'm Ready Now and it's also on this album. There is a mixture between upbeat and slower songs which gives it diversity. One of my favorites is Sleep Will Be Sweet some of the words are "When I lie down my soul will breathe again.....Your peace is strength to face the dark."

I really have been enjoying this Exhale CD and I want to spread the word on it's arrival! I also found out that she has been nominated on KLOVE for Female Artist of the Year!
