Today’s Contemporary Music

Although contemporary music has been on the scene for many years, the music has gained broader acceptance over the last ten to twelve years. It was in the late eighties that I first was exposed to contemporary Christian music, but at that time the music lacked depth and this led to a much smaller audience than that of today. In short, the music just wasn’t very good but it set the stage for musicians that would come not long afterwards. These musicians like Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith together with bands such as Audio Adrenaline transformed contemporary Chritian music and brought it from mediocre to main stream.

Today, the music available to Christians seems endless. With so much music available, listeners are not limited to a specific genre. From Christian rap to rock to worship, there is always great stuff to listen to. My personal favorites include Needtobreathe and Switchfoot when  am in the mood for rock.

Needtobreathe


When its worship I’m look for, which is often, Chris Tomlin, Hill Song and Passion.
No matter what your music taste there are lots of artist to choose from.    
This is a new song from Chris Tomlin. I hope you will take the time to check it out, Louie
