The Top Christian Music For Summer 2010

Summer is always a great time for the contemporary Christian music scene.  Bands are out touring, music festivals are being held across the country and hordes of new albums are being released.  There is nothing quite like a summer filled with great new music.  We would very much encourage you to go out and support these Christian bands as they tour over the next several months.  Many of them are doing a great job of sharing the gospel with our young people.  Plus, the music just seems to get more polished as the years go by.  There have been some really great albums released recently.    

The following are the top Christian music albums for summer 2010....

WOW Hits 2010- The most in-demand Christian music release of the year, WOW 2010 contains 30 songs on 2 CDs with the most popular hits heard on Christian radio over the past year.  Over the past fourteen years, the Christian music industry has partnered together to bring fans the very best artists and songs available anywhere, and that tradition definitely continues with WOW Hits 2010!  The WOW series continues to be the perfect gift for fans of contemporary Christian music.

The Generous Mr. Lovewell- Nearly a decade since "I Can Only Imagine," multiplatinumselling supergroup MercyMe dares to imagine the world as it should be in The Generous Mr. Lovewell. Produced by Brown Bannister (Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith) and Dan Muckala (Brandon Heath, Backstreet Boys), this new release combines heart-provoking lyrics, infectious worship anthems and touching ballads with a powerful message. "It almost goes without saying that we should love generously, that we should love like Jesus," Mike Scheuchzer of MercyMe says, "but does it?" Does hearing it make it real? It's so easy for us to live in our own little self-absorbed bubbles. We forget that above anything else we are called to love our neighbors, to reach out, to engage even the unlovable around us. It's not an option if we really want to be like Christ. The Generous Mr. Lovewell is a picture of the change we want to see in our own lives. Without love like this, everything we do, everything we are, is in vain."

Until The Whole World Hears- Casting Crowns has sold nearly 4.5 million albums, they have won numerous awards and they have consistently topped radio charts in an unprecedented six year span, and now they are seeking to take things to another level.  Casting Crowns' lead singer and songwriter Mark Hall says that the group has never strayed from the group's main purpose: "Present discipleship through music".  The result with each new song collection is a fresh, relevant perspective on the Christian faith.  It's this unwavering commitment that has inspired Casting Crowns' latest release, "Until the Whole World Hears", an offering of encouragement, challenge, hope and truth to a world desperately in need.

Tonight- TobyMac's new release "Tonight" is the highly anticipated follow up to the best-selling album "Portable Sounds". Continuing Toby's unique ability to blend diverse musical influences, Tonight contains an incredible mixture of rock, pop, urban and hip hop sounds.

A Beautiful Exchange- Hillsong is back!  For years Hillsong has produced some of the very best praise and worship music in the world, and their new album is entitled "A Beautiful Exchange".  Recorded at Hillsong Church in Australia, these powerful worship songs will surely be played in churches around the globe for many years to come.  Personally, we try to get our hands on to every single Hillsong album that we can, so we highly recommend not only this new release but Hillsong's entire catalog to everyone.

Is Switchfoot A Christian Band?

SwitchfootFor many years, those who follow the Christian music scene have speculated whether or not Switchfoot is a Christian band. They began their career with that "label", but once they achieved mainstream success they seemed to want to distant themselves from that "box". Many of their songs contain a "Christian" message although they seem to avoid using the name of Jesus Christ in their songs.

For those of you not familiar with Switchfoot, they are an alternative rock band from San Diego, California. They have become one of the most popular alternative rock bands in the world in fact. The members of the band include Jon Foreman (vocals and guitar), Tim Foreman (bass guitar and backing vocals), Chad Butler (drums and percussion), Jerome Fontamillas (guitar, keyboards and backing vocals), and Drew Shirley (guitar and backing vocals).

But is Switchfoot a Christian band?

Should they even be included on this site?

How do they actually view their faith?

Jon Foreman put it this way in one interview: "We've always been very open and honest about where the songs are coming from. For us, these songs are for everyone. Calling us 'Christian rock' tends to be a box that closes some people out and excludes them. And that's not what we're trying to do. Music has always opened my mind—and that's what we want".

So is Switchfoot a Christian band or do they just cozy up to the Christian music industry when it will further their career. That is for you to decide. We have posted a live version of their classic song "Dare You To Move" below. It is a truly great song.....

Delirious? – I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever

Delirious? is probably the most successful British contemporary Christian music band of all time. But to think of them as just a British band would be a mistake. Delirious is truly an international Christian band, and their unique brand of praise and worship has made them a household name in Christian homes around the world.

The video below contains some great footage. Many different versions of this song have been released, and it has become a praise and worship standard in churches across the globe.....

 

Steve Green - People Need The Lord

A lot of Christian music fans have forgotten about the music of Steve Green.

And that is a shame, because he put out some really outstanding music.

Perhaps the song that he is best known for is "People Need The Lord" - a stirring anthem that reminds us that everyone need to find salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ.

This song was so popular that it helped Green win his first Dove Award for Male Vocalist of the Year.

Unfortunately today it is extremely rare for a Christian song to be released that has such an overtly evangelistic focus.....

If you are not familiar with Steve Green's work, then we would encourage you to grab some of his older albums on Ebay.....
