Music Review: Kari Jobe, "The Acoustic Sessions" EP
These pure and stripped-down recordings aren't nearly as minimalistic as acoustic sessions can be expected to be, but the lack of shimmering, glossy production give them a more intimate worship experience.

Music Review: Nicole C. Mullen Makes a Joyful Noise on "Captivated"
While Mullen has never recorded a full-on praise album in her 20-year (!!!) career, she’s always been a worshipper at heart. So with that said, it’s really no surprise that she’s finally getting around to releasing one now.
Music Review: Peter Furler, "On Fire"
Furler's comeback album isn't an especially inventive endeavor, it's nonetheless an extremely endearing project.

Music Review: Michael W. Smith, “Wonder”
With the release of his 22nd and latest career album, Wonder represents a new chapter in the artist’s life and musical output. Does it measure up to the iconic hall of fame work he’s done in the past?

Despite its weaknesses, Eye On It is a testament to good old-fashioned musicianship that gives credit to Whom it is due

Something about this fictional locale pulls a person’s thinking toward God’s undiluted truth.

In this first CD release since the death of his daughter, listeners can acutely feel both the pain and joy behind the lyrics of Beauty Will Rise.

Reborn is definitely an improvement over Stand, but still doesn't measure up to some of their previous efforts.
Music Review: Millard Repeats Classic Format on Hymned Again
MercyMe’s Millard scores second home run with personal hymnbook …
Music Review: Josh Wilson, "See You"

Too many good things to say and not enough exciting tracks to contain them.

The Afters debut most accessible album of band's career ...

Music Review: Sanctus Real, "Pieces of a Real Heart" Should Quell the Questioning
After nearly a decade in the industry, Sanctus Real might wonder if it still has a relevant foothold in popular Christian music. The honest lyrical and musical charm of Pieces of a Real Heart should quell the questioning.

If Listen to the Sound is the measuring stick of Building 429's musicianship, the bar remains terribly low with their best probably behind them.
Music Review: Various Artists, "The Story"
While not perfect, Music Inspired By The Story is an extremely creative idea. What Nordeman and Herms have created is truly remarkable. One of the better compilations of the year.
Music Review: Matthew West, "Into The Light"
At times cliche, but this project will appeal to West’s fans as another concept album that values the stories of men and women who have weathered life just as we all have.
Music Review: Passion, "Here For You"
Worship Continues on Passion's Here for You. Chris Tomlin leads another excellent Passion compilation …
Music Review: Jaci Velasquez' "Love Out Loud"
Out with her first CD in 3 years, the Latin songstress returns with a strong music project.
Music Review: Josh Wilson, "Carry Me"

An intimate collection of original worship songs from Saddleback Church worship leader.
