David Crowder and friends are back again with their ninth album, Church Music, an album jam packed with 17 songs. One thing that stood out to me is that the album is  produced so that it would run smoothly from one song to the next. The total album clocks in at around 74 minutes. Known for their worship themed music, this album won’t let down loyal DC*B fans. It is a electronically driven album with some rock elements, all fused with great lyrics. One such song is God Almighty, None Compares, a song that speaks of God’s grace and how nothing will compare to his endless love for us.

Included with the 17 track on the album are two amazing covers that display the unique talents of this band. The first is All Around Me by Flyleaf. The second is How He Loves by John Mark McMillan. The title track Church Music(Dance) is a techno-driven song that is a joy from beginning to end. It is really the main message of this album; to get up and praise Him with your dance, no matter the song or rhythm.

My two favorite songs on the album are Shadows and Oh Happiness.

Shadows: a song that tells us that when we are surrounded by darkness, we will not fail. If we will rest in the shadow of the cross, he will be our light that brings us up and allows us to breathe again, if only we trust in Him.

Oh Happiness: tell us there is enough of God’s Grace for all of us, and helps us to understand that we can lean on him in troubled times.  He will allow us to find happiness through all things,and that all things work for his purpose.

You really need to pick up this album as soon as you can. It is a collection of songs that are a great arrangement of new styles of “Church Music” that will indeed bless your for years to come.
