I'm On A Music High!

Selah's newest CD called Hiding Place I just discovered SELAH, and I love their music! They're a Christian music group that sings a lot of traditional hymns... with a unique "twist". Plus they have a lot of their own original music too. It's all awesome! (They've won 3 Dove awards, plus 3 other Dove nominations.)

I especially like their versions of "Power in the Blood" and "By and By". They're kind of Carribbean or African sounding.... with a really hip beat! Actually 2 of the 3 group members lived in the Congo for a spell when they were growing up, so they were influenced a bit by that music. It's fun, Christian music... check it out! You can sample some of Selah's other songs here.

Passion of the Christ CD - Original Songs Inspired by the Film Also bought the new CD called "The Passion of the Christ - Songs". It's a compilation of well-known singers from ALL genres that each wrote and recorded a song just for this project. We were most interested in it to hear Scott Stapp (from Creed) sing "Relearn Love". It's very good. There's also a good Mercy Me/Steven Curtis Chapman/3rd Day song called "I See Love" that's really good. Overall, I'd say that it's a good Christian music cd, but not a great one... You can sample more of the music from the Passion of the Christ - Original Songs CD here.
