Kings Kaleidoscope: Becoming Who We Are.

Year Of Release, 2014.
Record Label, Tooth And Nail Records.
Music Styles, Experimental, Alternative, Indie, Electronic, Folk, Ska, Hip Hop.
Musical Influences: The Mars Volta, Arcade Fire, Muse, New Order, The Beatles, Five Iron Frenzy,
David Crowder Band, Earthsuit.

I believe Kings Kaleidoscope could very well be the next big thing in Praise and Worship music, because they are ever so innovative and are totally set apart from today's Contemporary Worship Music scene.
This album is called ''Becoming Who We Are'', and it is such a mindblowingly unique album and the music is done like never before.  This energetically eclectic album takes Worship Music to a brand new dimension

The best way i can describe this album is that it is creative, colourful, high energy, destinctive, next level, well produced and flat out original and the quality of this recording will hopefully blow your socks off. If you are not into Praise and Worship music and if you think it is too boring and unimaginative, this album is going to take you by surprise and will hopefully change your mind about worship music. The music on this album has quite a heavenly sound and it is only a tiny glimpse of the music that is playing in Heaven and the music in Heaven is going to make the music we listen to right now sound immensly boring and dated.
To let you know, praise and worship is not a musical genre and there is no such musical style as praise and worship. If you read the bible, turn to Psalm 150. It says in verse 6, let everything that has breath praise the lord. You can use any music style to worship God and make him known to all nations. Whatever music style you use, use it to the best of your ability to worship God and point people to Jesus.
The Bible also teaches that God is looking for worshippers who worship in spirit and truth, please look up John 4:23-24 in the new testament, so worship should be authentic and totally from the heart, and you can worship God in the way that he made you.
The Bible also teaches that music should be done with excellence and we should be playing skillfully, the idea that Worship Music should be boring, quiet, reserved and uncreative is contradictory to what the Word of God teaches. Please look up 1 Chronicles chapter 15 in the old testament and you will find out about the ark of the covenent being brought. King David commanded the leaders of the Levites to appoint their fellow Levites as musicians to make a joyful sound. You will also find out that King David celebrated and danced exuberantly as the ark of the covenent was entering the City of David.

Worship Music is supposed to be exciting and loud, not always quiet and reserved all of the time.
We seriously disobey God when we don't make a joyful noise and when we are not being creative, we misrepresent who God is. God is a mindblowingly awesome and powerful God so we should give God great praise, i mean GREAT PRAISE. If you are looking for Worship Music that is exciting and boundary pushing, check out Tye Tribbett, Israel Houghton, Fred Hammond, Rend Collective, David Crowder Band, Hillsong Young and Free, and Planetshakers and you will be surprised.
When we celebrate God for what he has done for our lives, we should really be having a party rather than treating worship services like a funeral, It's not like we've been watching Romeo and Juliet so start celebrating, and let us all put a smile on our faces for goodness sake and be grateful that God saved us from our sins. Remember, if you have surrendered your heart to Jesus and you have sincerely repented, that means you have willfully rejected a life of sin, you have been saved from Hell and you are on your way to Heaven. There is an explosive party going on in Heaven so let us all be grateful that God saved us.

Martel: Impersonator.

I would like to tell you, this album is a real masterpiece and it is real proof that Christians are able to create good quality music that is excellent and inspiring at the same time.
Martel used to be the lead singer of the Christian Pop/Rock group Downhere and i started listening to that group at just about 2010. Downhere are an amazing band and the lead vocalist Marc Martel is one of the best singers of all times and he has the ability to reach notes that are sky high.
Martel is greatly influenced by Freddie Mercury and it is evident in his vocal gymnastics, and Queen are one of the greatest bands of all times.
Martel auditioned to be the lead singer in the Queen tribute band Queen Extravaganza and he won the audition. The Queen Extravaganza performed ''Somebody To Love'' on American Idol and the performance was second to none. It was absolutely incredible and i am so pleased with Marc Martel's progress.
This album reignites Martel's interest in Guitar Rock music and you will here elements of Queen and Muse in some of his songs especially ''Paradise'', one of the most classic songs on this incredible album. Other songs like ''Dead Ringer'', ''Magnetic'', ''Straitjacket'', ''Ringo Starr'' and ''Say The Word'' are incredible and well worth a listen.
Martel has put so much talent and so much energy and elbow grease into this album and it blesses my spirit immensely. I pray that Martel will keep this up on his future recordings because i could see so much potential in this artist and he could go a long way.
I believe this album will inspire you to be who you truly are and discover your true colours. Let us not be about people pleasing because it leads to compromise.
God made you to be who you really are so you don't have to change yourself to fit in with the current fads. Impersonator is such an amazing album and it deserves to be timeless.
This album was released in 2014.
This album was reviewed at November 1st 2014.
Music Style: Classic Rock.
May God bless you and have an awesome time.

The Jam: All Around The World.

I am going to review a song that was released as a single in the year 1977 and it is by a band that i was brought up on at a very young age. The Jam consists of Paul Weller (lead vocalist and guitarist),
Bruce Foxton (Bass guitarist and backing vocals) and Rick Buckler (Drummer) and this song ''All Around The World'' was released after their first single ''In The City'', which took aim at the Punk Rock Scene and it started off with the lyrics, In the city there's a thousand things i want to say to you, but whenever i approach you, You make me look a fool.

''All Around The World'' is an amazing song and the lyrical content is inspiring since Paul Weller was a spokesman for the youth culture at the time. This song speaks against the negative and destructive influences of the London Punk Scene while at the same time promoting innovation and a new direction. It was clear that Paul Weller didn't want anything to do with what the media was promoting and he wanted to break out of the box and go against the trends, and The Jam wanted nothing to do with fame and celebrity life and they didn't want to be idolized either.

I pray that God will raise up new Bands and Singer-Songwriters to make a positive impact in the Pubs and Clubs with music that is excellent and high quality and lyrics that inspire people and wake this nation up. We need more amazing, talented and innovative artists that are willing to take God's light to the Pubs and Clubs and start a revolution and a brand new direction.

Lecrae: Anomaly.

Year Of Release: 2014.
Style Of Music. Rap/Hip Hop.
Record Label. Reach Records.
Tours. Winter Jam, Anomaly Tour. Summer Shed Tour.
Other Reach Records Artists. Trip Lee, Tedashii, Andy Mineo, Sho Baraka, Derek Minor.

This brand new Lecrae album Anomaly is absolutely fantastic and it is well worth listening to if you are interested in listening to Rap music with a positive message, and his music is ever so incredible and original. Lecrae has pushed the boundaries in Rap Music and is progressing the new stages, and i believe he will continue to do so in the future. Lecrae is never afraid to take risks and push the boundaries in Hip Hop/Rap music and move the genre to the next level. I believe God is going to use Lecrae in a very powerful way to encourage young people to live unashamed for Jesus Christ and mostly pave the way for future artists to keep on moving to the next level and find new ways to communicate Gods grace and mercy in a fresh way. ''Anomaly'' is a very genuine record from beginning to end and i believe a lot of young people will connect with this album.

I have quite a lot of respect for Lecrae since i have been listening to his music for a few years and he is totally authentic and honest in his songwriting. I believe Lecrae will have a positive impact on this modern generation that is struggling with an identity crisis.
Good news, Anomaly has topped the American mainstream charts and it truly shows that God has extended Lecrae's platform and i believe a lot of non christians are going to enjoy this album.
The truth is that God has set us apart for a purpose and has made us all unique from each other so we don't have to imitate other people and be like them.
God has made you different from other people so you don't have to fit in and blend with the crowd.
This album contains a strong and inspiring message that can come of good use in teaching a lot of people in schools concerning identity and being different from others.
Youth Leaders, It is important that you teach students about being different and unique because the reason why so many people have been bullied and thrown out like trash is because they are different from others and won't conform to their ways. May God bless all of you as you are reading this review. You can listen to Lecrae on www.xbox.com/music.

Ali Campbell: Cyber Bully Boys.

Cyber Bully Boys is a brand new song by lead UB40 vocalist Ali Campbell and it is on the new album ''Silhouette''. Ali Campbell is joining with Astro and Mickey on the new album and the new song i am going to review is ''Cyber Bully Boys which talks about bullying on the internet.
My Nan phoned me up to let me know about this song and i was surprised when she introduced me to this new song which deals with cyber bullying.
Bullying on the internet is a very big issue and there are certain youngsters that are being affected in a very negative way by this horrible behaviour and this is serious. it has to stop right now because this is evil behaviour.
Cyber bullying is where a certain individual writes negative and verbally abusive comments on the internet with the intention of hurting people in the process.
I hope and pray that God will use this song in a very powerful way to blow the whistle on cyber bullying and bring hope to people who are being affected by it.
To the christian youth leaders who are ministering in the schools, can i encourage you to listen to this new song because it can be a great tool for helping people to quit bullying people on the internet.
I pray that those involved in cyber bullying will be severely punished and that Facebook will be monitered big time so that cyber bullying can be prevented in the near future.
If you are being affected by cyber bullying, i would like to encourage you to get help from your school teacher and your parents. If the cyber bullying gets any worse, you can always call the police and they will give you a lot of help. I pray the cyber bullies will eventually be caught, arrested and banned from the internet, especially Facebook and Twitter so that vulnerable kids and teenagers will be safe from further harm.
May God bless you and i pray the schools will be a much safer place for the children and teenagers.

Kaboose: Excuse Me.

I am ever so glad there are some innovative and unique Hip Hop artists out there, and this positive Artist who comes by the name of Kaboose is ever so unique and truly off the chart.
To be honest, Kaboose is very new to me and i haven't heard of him before and i personally like exploring different artists that i have never heard of before. His music is ever so amazing and this style sounds like it has never been done before. I went on www.rapzilla.com and was looking up some different albums that were being reviewed and i caught sight of this album.
On the rapzilla website, i clicked on features and then clicked on reviews.
The reviews pages will give you some awesome choices of positive Rap/Hip Hop artists and it will help broaden your musical horizons.
I believe this album will inspire you and challenge you to go to the next level with God and follow the dreams and ambitions that God places on your heart, and please don't settle for less.
And let us move beyond the religious attitude that is limiting our God given creativity because it is time to set this whole place alight and be more innovative.
 To let you know, Kaboose is on a record label called Syntax Records and it is well worth checking out if you are interested in exploring different artists that you have never heard of before. I would like to tell you that there are some awesome artists out there that will take you by surprise.
This modern generation is missing out on some awesome and innovative artists that are going against the cultural grain since there are so many plastic Pop Artists invading the modern music airwaves.
I am not satisfied with what is in the music charts and I'm willing to continue exploring different territories and different artists of different cultures and backgrounds. I do believe that people are looking for some inspiration and i do pray there will be a lot more innovative Artists that will blow the whole roof off with excellent musicianship and excellent lyrics with moral christian values that are lifechanging, people empowering, and most of all, that advances God's heavenly kingdom.

I believe We are in a season where God is challenging Christians not to stay the same and never to settle for less. Christian Artists have got to move forward creatively and progress the new stages because God cannot tolerate apathy and religious hypocrisy and pretense. God is not interested in religion, nor is he interested in empty cliche's that is overloading so many worship songs.
Christian Artists have got to stop being uncreative and stagnant in their music and lyrics. I am not joking. The good news is that Christian Entertainment has improved quite a lot and it is moving forward, but it still has a long way to go.
I pray that we will rise above the labels that people put on us and start being the people that God created us to be.
May God bless you all and i hope you enjoy this amazing album.
This album was released in 2008.

Guvna B: Scrapbook 2.

Music Style: Rap/Hip Hop, Gospel.
Year Of Release: 2014.
Touring: Big Church Day Out

This album is definately next level creativity and artistry and Guvna B is breaking out of the box big time on this project. I am ever so blown away by this incredible album that is new generational in delivery and a lot of young people are going to enjoy this album like i did, or even more.
Scrapbook 2 is one of the most inspiring, encouraging and energizing modern albums and it is an absolute masterpiece.  I am so encouraged that Guvna B is honing his creativity on this project and i pray that he will continue to move to higher heights like never before in the future.
Scrapbook 2 is such a positive radiant album that will inspire you to shine God's light in this dark world and go to the next level with God because God is the true radiator and an absolute energizer.
This album is full of so much energy that will spur you on in your faith because God is mega awesome. I believe God is more explosive than the supernova and more mindblowingly captivating that the amusement arcades. Church Of God, we have a brighter future because we are not of this world and this world as it is now is not our home because we are on our way to God's multi colourful
kingdom that is more futuristic than las vegas and there is an explosive party happening in Heaven.
While we are still here, we need to be taking part in bringing God's kingdom to this lifeless planet that need a whole lot of waking up. Let us sound the alarm and wake up this nation.
I firmly believe that God is about next level and we need to be breaking out of the religious box that has contributed to lifelessness and apathy which is horrible and absurd.

Religion has generated a lot of judgementlism and prejudice behind the four walls of the church and i am not putting up with it anymore. God has seriously been misrepresented and misinterpreted and a lot of non christians have such a false perception of God primarily because of religion itself.
Jesus Christ has never been about religion, in fact he broke the religious rules that was handed down by the religious leaders of the day. God is truly about relationship and Jesus came to break the great divide between God and mankind and positively redeem all races no matter the cultural and racial upbringing. Entertainment is not the problem, the main problem lies with the human heart that is so sin corrupted. So the problem is sin because it is sin and sin alone that is seperating us from a relationship with God. Jesus Christ is the answer to all of life's problems, actually, he is our only hope for the whole of mankind to be saved. So come to Jesus Christ as you are and he will send God's Holy Spirit to clean up your heart and give you new life.

I believe the time is coming when we need to stop putting religious labels on these positive Christian Faith based Artists that are actually making a positive impact on this generation. And stop seperating them from the mainstream culture and quit the stereotyping right now.. It is time for a holy revolution. God bless you all.

All Star United: Love And Radiation

Music Style: Alternative/Indie, Britpop.
Year Of Release: 2006.
Similar Bands:
Blur.
Weezer.


I have decided to review a Band whose music is very alternative to Britpop/Indie music and if you enjoy listening to Britpop and Alternative Indie music, All Star United are highly recommended.

All Star United are such a fantastic band and i can easily relate to their music, and my interest in Britpop Music actually got me into All Star United. By the way, The lead singers name is Ian Eskelin and he is a very talented singer and an amazing songwriter.
In my opinion, they could lyrically be the Christian version of the band Weezer, and their music style is very Britpop/Indie influenced.
''Love And Radiation'' is quite a strong and energetic album that is jam packed with Alternative/Indie Rockers that will get you rocking on the air guitar and will hopefully inspire and energize you in your walk with God.

To let you know, All Star United are not a British Band but they are very alternative to Britpop/Indie music and i believe you will enjoy this amazing band.

The Gentlemen: Departures.

Music Style: Indie Pop/Disco.
Year Of Release: 2014.
Musical Influences: Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys.

This is an amazing and incredible album by one of the most talented Indie/Pop Bands in this day and age and are highly recommended to those who enjoy listening to the Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys, The Klaxons and the many other Bands that are similar in sound and style.
I have just signed up on XBox Music which is quite similar to Spotify and I listened to this amazing album. I believe a lot of non christian Indie Bands will be totally impressed with this album.
''Departures'' is such a masterpiece and it is one of the most top quality albums you will hear so far.

Recently, they toured with and supported ''The Feeling'' after the recent album ''Boy Cried Wolf'' was released. I personally didn't watched the concert but i researched it on the internet. A while ago, i went on the Christian Music Website called Louder Than The Music and found out the The Gentleman were touring with ''The Feeling'' to my surprise. I hope that the concert went really well and that the people that went to the concert enjoyed it as well.

To let you know, all the members of ''The Gentlemen'' are Christians and i do believe that God is going to use this amazing Band in a powerful way to help a lot of Indie Bands come to know Jesus Christ as personal saviour and to see God in a different way.
Let us pray that God will raise up some new bands that will make some awesome music that reaches out to a lot of Bands and Artists that are in desperate need of a saviour which is none other than Jesus Christ. I would also like to pray for a massive revolution in Great Britain and that more people will be reached for Jesus.

The Lightning Seeds: Pure.

 


Music Style: Indie/Britpop.
Single.
On the album Cloudcuckooland which was released in 1990.

When I was a child, my Dad used to have this single on Vinyl Record and that was the very first time i have heard of The Lightning Seeds. I like this band quite a lot and they are one of the groups i have a lot of respect for since they refused to follow the modern music trends in the lyrical and musical delivery. For you who have been brought up on The Lightning Seeds, the lead singers name is Ian Broudie. I have quite a lot of respect for him and i can relate to some of the songs that has been written. This is definitely one of the songs i can relate to since the songwriting is brilliant and the lyrics are ever so unconventional compared to a lot of the modern music stuff that is usually so plastic these days. If you are a big fan of Britpop music and you listen to quite a lot of Indie music, this song is for you.
To remind you, The Lightning Seeds are not Christians but they have written some amazing songs that have rejected the trends both musically and lyrically. Another Lightning Seeds song i would like to recommend is ''God Help Them'' and it is one of my favorite songs by The Lightning Seeds.
You can check it out on www.youtube.com.
Please do not get to over consumed with what is selling in the charts and quit falling for the manufactured trends of the modern music scene. There is a lot more amazing music than you think there is.

I would also like to recommend another amazing band that i can relate to and they are a Pop/Soul and Gospel Band ''The Christians''. They have covered ''Harvest For The World''.

Pulp: Help The Aged.

Music Styles: Britpop/Indie.
Single.
On the album, This Is Hardcore, which was released in 1998.

I am definitely going to review another Britpop song and this time it is by the band whose lead singer is none other than Jarvis Cocker. The song is called Help The Aged and it was released in 1998.
Help The Aged is one of my favorite singles that was released by Pulp and it is an amazing song and the lyrics are quite thought provoking.
Help The Aged is a little bit of a challenging song because it reminds us that we all will eventually grow old and we really need to invest in the lives of other people who are coming of age.
We need to be giving them hope and comfort and give them a brighter future.
Yes it is true that we need to be investing in the younger generations because they will one day grow old and we need to be building them a brighter future because time is running out.
My hope for this whole blog is to have a positive influence on this generation and invest in their dreams. And also to invest in the creativity of new and upcoming band that are hoping to blaze a trail for the positive future of music. The main reason for this blog is to help people to know Jesus Christ as a personal saviour. Come on Church of God, we need to be raising up this generation because this modern generation is in a whole lot of trouble and is sinking like the Titanic.
Help The Aged is ever such a fantastic song and Jarvis Cockers vocals is very strong and souring.
When I was at the Britpop, Mod and Ska gig at London Calling, the covers band Sound Effects performed a classic Pulp song ''Disco 2000'' and it was brilliant.
I pray that the Britpop scene will rise up again like a phoenix from the ashes and that there will be some new bands that will write some amazing and creative song that will further God's kingdom and bring hope to this hopeless nation.
May God bless you now and forevermore.
If you are a fan of Britpop music. I would like to recommend this amazing Alternative Rock Band that is quite similar to 90's Britpop.
All Star United. The lead singer of All Star United is Ian Eskelin.

Family Force 5: Time Stand Still.

Music Styles: Crunk Rock, Electronic Dance/Pop.
Year Of Release: 2014.
Full Length Album. 15 tracks.

I believe Family Force 5 are back once again and they are more new and refined than ever. Time Stand Still is a brand new album by Family Force 5 and it is album number four. Good news is this album is mindlowingly incredible and new generational and their music is up to date while at the same time innovative and exciting. They turn the party level to a maximum volume and the quality is totally hi definition. I believe a lot of young modern music listeners will be impressed with this album and they are more than likely to play this album quite a lot. High energy songs including ''BZRK'', ''Sweep The Leg'', ''Let It Be Love'',  ''Walk On Water'', ''Show Love'', ''Jet Pack Kicks'', ''Glow In The Dark'' and many more awesome hyper danceable songs that will get you racing to the dancefloor in no time. There is no way you are ever going to get bored of this album, period, because this album is so high energy and mega exciting. I believe it is time to get your dancing shoes on.
Collaborations including Rap artist KB, and Hillsong Young And Free member Melodie Wagner.
By the way, Hillsong Young and Free are a new modern generational Worship team that are attracting quite a lot of young people with their high energy Praise and Worship songs that are very up to date with the times.

If you are looking for up to date worship music that is accessible to the younger generation I would like to recommend.

Super Furry Animals: Rings Around The World.

Music Style: Electronic Indie/Pop, Folk.
Year Of Release: 2001.
Full Length Album: 13 tracks.

Now i am going to do a review of the Super Furry Animals album Rings Around The World and this is a fun and mindblowingly adventurous album full of futuristic electronic Indie Pop music with some elements of Folk and amusement arcade fuelled Techno. The Super Furry Animals are one of the most creative bands in the music scene and they have taken a lot of risks in creating music that is original and mega exciting and virtually futuristic. That is the reason why i like this band so much since they are so exciting. Super Furry Animals take creativity to the next level and they pushed the boat out a bit. The Singles are ''(Drawing) Rings Around The World, ''Juxtapozed With U''
and  ''It's Not The End Of The World''. I believe this is the sort of album that will fire up the tenacious and out of the box creativity of some new and upcoming artists that are looking for some musical inspirations. Rings Around The World is such a adventureous rollercoster of fun and excitement and i believe you will enjoy this album if you are getting so tired and bored with the stagnant and manufactured chart music scene. To be quite honest, quite a lot of modern Pop artists have become so fabricated and it seems to me that they are being treated like toys and playthings and it is beyond a joke. I personally cannot stand the modern industry and the media is brainwashing so many people and putting so many youngsters in a box. I pray that the media would stop treating people like puppets on a string because this life should not be treated like a circus show.
The reason for this album review is to help some new and upcoming bands to be more creative and to be willing to take some creative risks and reject the modern music trends.

If you are a Jesus Follower and you are interested in forming a Band that wants to make awesome and mindblowing music that advances God's kingdom and blazes a trail for new generational Bands and Artists that are willing to take creative arts to a whole new level, take some time out to get some musical inspiration from some albums that are excellent in creativity and that helps you to hone your creativity. I am reviewing this album to let you all know that i cannot stand the fact that music is being watered down by the modern music industry and that we really need a lot more creative artists that are adventurous and are not playing it safe. There is still some awesome music about thankfully and i would also like to pray for new and upcoming British artists that are willing to redeem the Britpop scene and take it back for God's glory. Come on trailblazers, we have got work to do while we are still here. I pray that the heavenly kingdom explosion will invade this colourless globe and restore life, light and creativity in this world that is so grey to the core.

Super Furry Animals: Do Or Die.

Music Style, Indie/Pop.
Single.
On the album, Guerilla which was released in 1999.

I am going to review another song and this time it is by a Welsh group called Super Furry Animals.
They are one of my favorites Bands from Wales and the lead singer is Gruff Rhys who also did some solo recordings. Super Furry Animals are one of the most innovative and exciting bands you will ever hear and that is why i enjoy their music so much. The Super Furry Animals mix in elements of Techno with some electronics and video gaming sound effects and they are quite futuristic.
The song Do Or Die is on their third full length album Guerilla which is one of the most futuristic albums that has quite a lot of virtual reality electronics that go well with computer gaming.
Video gaming is one of my hobbies and i also watch some video games on youtube as well. recently, i was watching games like Megaman, Pulseman, , Sonic Heroes, Zool and some others as well.
I also like arcade games like Bucky O Hare (Arcade Version), Knuckles Chaotix, Ninja Baseball Batman, and other games like Super Mario Bros, Sonic The Hedgehog, Pacman, Donkey Kong and Kirby. When I was a teenager, i used to play a few Final Fantasy games and some other games as well.
Do Or Die is a very exciting and uplifting song about venturing out and taking risks since Super Furry Animals are so adventurous and creative in their songwriting. They have taken some creative risks on their album and they have written some adventurous song that could power a video game and an amusement arcade.
If you are reading this review and you are hoping to become an artist and you would like to be in a band that uses the talents that God has given you to bring hope to peoples lives and advance God kingdom, can i encourage you to have a go at listening to some bands and albums that will help you to hone your creative skills in songwriting and music making. I believe God is going to raise up a new generation of super creativity that takes some adventurous creative risks and rises above stagnation and sameyness.
I would like to recommend some diverse set of albums that will help you venture out in your creativity.

Sound Effects: Indie, Britpop, Mod and Ska

I am going to go in a totally different direction in this blog review and I have decided to review a Live Covers Band. From now on, i am not going to restrict this blog to just Christian Bands and my hope for this review is that it will reach a broader audience. Different people have different musical tastes so we really need to overcome our stereotypical attitudes towards music.
Sound Effects came to peform a gig at London Calling in Rugby, Warwickshire on Friday 19th September at night time and they performed some Britpop and Ska songs and it was absolutely brilliant. They performed songs by Oasis, The Cure, The Jam, Blur, Franz Ferdinand, Pulp, The Specials, The Enemy, The Housemartins, Small Faces, The Strokes, The Fratellis and James.
When I was a child, I was brought up on Paul Weller, The Jam, Blur, Oasis, Madness, The Specials and some others as well. I am also well into Ocean Colour Scene, The Lightning Seeds, Cast, Dodgy, Kaiser Chiefs, The Coral, Inspiral Carpets and The Farm since i'm a big fan of Britpop Music. My interest in Britpop and Ska music has been downloaded into my musical DNA for quite a long time and i believe it will still continue.
The very reason i went to the Britpop and Ska gig at London Calling is because i am a very close friend to Simon Buckingham who is a Christian and is part of the Youth For Christ outreach.
Simon Buckingham is the guitarist from Sound Effects and he is a Paul Weller fan and he is very influenced by Mod and Ska music.
My hope and prayer is that the other band members will get to know Jesus Christ as personal saviour and I am also hoping to see pubs and clubs across Britain redeemed and taken back for God.
I pray that God will rear up some new talented Bands that will redeem the Britpop scene and create some new and amazing songs that will advance God's kingdom and bring more people to the kingdom of God.

Colton Dixon: Anchor.

Music Style: Alternative Pop/Rock.
Year Of Release: 2014.
Musical Influences: Paramore, Thirty Secords To Mars, Evanescence, Daughtry.

I am pleased to let you all know that this is Colton Dixon's follow up to his debut album ''A Messenger'' and this album is incredible and adventurous. Ex American Idol contestant Colton Dixon ventures into new territory and he has pushed the musical boat out,. As a result we have an amazing new album that will be widely enjoyed by lots of different music listeners and will hopefully reach out to a lot more people who are looking for music that is exciting, fresh and modern at the same time. The songs on this album are quite rockier that the last effort and Colton's voice is ever so powerful and soaring. I listened to this album a few times at the time I bought this album at the Christian Bookshop and it was placed on order and it came in round about a fortnights time. Albums like this should enter into the mainstream music shops because the quality of this CD is just off the chart. It will hopefully grow on you the more you listen to this CD. The recent single is ''More Of You'' and you will be able to hear it on UCB Christian Radio.
''Loud And Clear'' goes in a hard rock direction and the title track will go down as a classic.
''This Isn't The End'', ''Fools Gold'', and ''Our Time Is Now'' are all amazing epic tracks that will hopefully blow your mind.
''Anchor'' is one of the strongest and most epic albums you will ever here in this day and age. I would like to encourage you to take a chance on this album.

Queen Extravaganza.

I have decided to go in a totally different direction in this particular blog review and it is going to be a very special review. I am going to introduce to you a Queen tribute band and this will take you by surprise. The lead singer from Christian Pop/Rock band Downhere is now the lead singer of this tribute band.
The drummer Roger Taylor took the time to audition different people who were interested in being the lead singer in the Queen Extravaganza and Marc Martel who used to be the lead vocalist in Downhere won the audition. Marc Martel is very influenced by Queen and he does sound like Freddie Mercury who is one of the greatest singers in one of the greatest bands in the history of music.
Recently, i went to the Sunday Night Live event at costa coffee at the very end of August and i had a conversation with a friend who goes to church and we spoke about music. He was about to recommend the band Downhere and I have been listening to them for a few years and that is when i found out that the lead singer from Downhere auditioned to be the lead vocalist in the Queen Extravaganza and to my surprise he won the audition.
The next day, i went on youtube and watched Marc Martel sing ''Somebody To Love'' on American Idol and he was absolutely brilliant. I did a research on the Queen Extravaganza to find out more about them and i found out that guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor were behind it all.

If you have never heard of Downhere, can i encourage you to check them out. They are a fantastic band and their music is in a Pop/Rock style. I will recommend one of their songs, ''Surrender''. That song is incredible and Marc Martel's singing is quite powerful. ''Surrender'' is on ''Wide Eyed And Mystified. May God use Marc Martel in a mighty way to shine God's radiant light on this generation and i pray that souls will be saved and won over to Jesus Christ who is the greatest champion that has ever lived. If you have given your life to Jesus and you are part of God's massive family, you are a champion in God's eyes. May God Bless You.

Mandisa: Overcomer.

I am going to review another Christian Pop album and this one is incredible and very powerful.
Mandisa is such a naturally gifted and vocally talented artist and most of all, she is a role model for youngsters and teenagers to follow. It is a crying shame that her songs don't get any airplay on British Mainstream Radio and quite a lot of youngsters are seriously missing out on positive entertainment to such a high extent. I believe Mandisa is going to play a huge role in the Kingdom of God and that anyone who hears this album is going to be impacted and transformed in a very positive way.
Mandisa's lyrics is morally excellent and spiritually encouraging for this generation that is constantly being intoxicated by so many trashy values and lies that is being explicitly promoted by the media today. This Mandisa album ''Overcomer'', contains some very powerful songs that will encourage you while you are going through trying times and you feel that life isn't going the way that you would have hoped it would go. There are some exciting and radiant Dance/Pop songs including the title track ''Overcomer'', ''Face 2 Face'' and Joy Unspeakable.
''Back To You'' is quite an upbeat song that points to God and lights up your heart at the same time.
''The Distance'', is such an incredible song with a powerful and soaring chorus and it will take you to new heights.
''Face 2 Face'', is such a radiant Dance/Pop song that has a heavenly feel to it and could eventually inspire you to start a heavenly disco.
One of the songs i like the most on this album is the explosive ''At All Times'' and it pushes the musical boundaries a bit. It will inspire you to bless the Lord at all times while you are going through the hardest times knowing that in Christ, you will have the victory.
''Joy Unspeakable'', is a totally incredible song and you need to get your dancing shoes on since this song is explosive and exciting to dance and party along to. I believe Heaven is celebrating big time over people that have given their lives to Jesus Christ and have been saved from sin. Jesus is the only person that can give us joy and peace which comes from God alone.
''Praying For You'' is dedicated to Mandisa's future husband. If you are hoping to get married, can i encourage you to wait patiently and God will bring the right person to you at the right time. Marriage beds are to be kept pure at all times and marriage is meant to be between a man and a woman. Sex is supposed to be reserved for marriage only and never outside of it. Personally I am a single
person and I'm not married so i would like to encourage you to read the Bible to learn more about how sex should be treated. We dare not go outside God's boundaries in this particular area.
I believe this album is so incredible and you are going to be blessed and encouraged by it.
Please go on www.ishinelive.com/radio if you are interested in listening to positive Pop music that brings glory to God and transforms this modern culture in a positive life changing way.
Radio ishine is an incredible radio station so don't forget to check it out.

Dolly Parton: Blue Smoke: Dolly The Best Of.

Music Style: Country and Western.
Year Of Release: 2014.

I just got into Dolly Parton this year in 2014 and this new album came out this year. I was looking in HMV's while i was in Coventry and came across this new Dolly Parton CD and i decided to buy this album. I really enjoyed it quite a lot since I started listening to Country and Bluegrass a while ago.
I didn't used to like Country and Western music but now I have changed my mind since my music taste has broadened quite a lot. I love listening to different artists of different culture since I'm a British person and I choose not to remain in a cultural box. I have decided to be a lot more diverse and more broad in my musical tastes. I am looking forwards to wearing the coat of many colours when i go to live with God in Heaven.
The new Dolly Parton album is amazing and I'm hoping to listen to this album for years to come.
The new album ''Blue Smoke'' is full of brand new songs and some new cover versions.
The spiritually driven ''Lay Your Hands On Me'', is co written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, and ''Don't Think Twice'' is written by Bob Dylan. The title track is quite a fun and exciting Country song that you can travel along to. Dolly Parton stays true to her Country and Bluegrass roots on ''Banks Of The Ohio'', ''Unlikely Angel'', ''You Can't Make Old Friends'', and ''From Here To The Moon And Back''. ''Home'' is a very uplifting and positive song that will put a smile on your face for sure. There is also a bit of comedy on this album and Dolly Parton will make you giggle on the french inspired ''Lover Du Jour. On this song, Dolly refuses to give in to the mans lustful desires and she says to him, Now I am not for your amusement. I'm not a toy. You're nothin' but trouble. Oooh, you're a bad bad boy. If you are a longtime Dolly Parton fan, you are going to be impressed with ''Blue Smoke'', and she shows no sign of departing from her Country and Western roots.
The Bonus Disc is a compilation of songs she has written in the past including her well known songs ''Jolene'', ''9 To 5, ''Island In The Stream'', ''I will Always Love You'', and many many more.
May God Bless you and may this album uplift and bless you.
Recommended albums.
Johnny Cash: Out Among The Stars.
The Isaac's: Why Can't We.

Dolly Parton is a Christian by faith and she is in the mainstream music scene.

Canton Jones: God City USA.

Music Style: Gospel/R&B, Hip Hop.
Year Of Release: 2014.

I believe this marks a brand new era for Positive Christian Entertainment and we are heading for a time when more people will appreciate positive entertainment a lot more. I am hoping this review will reach more people in God's strength alone.
This is the 3rd time that i am reviewing a Canton Jones album since this is a brand new album, and to tell you, this album is incredible and it is one of the best albums since his top quality masterpiece ''Dominionaire''. I hope and pray that lots of people in Great Britain will hear this particular artist one day and that musical tastes will be broadened and taken up to the next level like never before.
I really enjoyed listening to this album since i am originally from England and I like listening to different artists of different cultures and backgrounds.
Now Canton Jones is originally from the United States of America and he did collaborate with British Rap Artist Guvna B on ''Sending A Wave'' which is on the album ''Odd 1 Out''.

I am so impressed with this particular album since Canton Jones is so on fire for God and is so passionate about God's Kingdom. God City USA blends in elements of Gospel Hip Hop, Dance/Pop,  Techno and Funk, and there is some diversity on this album that keeps this album fresh and exciting. Canton Jones's passion for worship is evident on songs including ''Holy'', ''Jesus'', ''No One Greater'' and ''Glory To God'', and these are all amazing songs. The new single  ''Crazy'' is such an incredible song from start to finish and I believe this generation of modern music listeners will be impressed and would like to listen to it over and over again. ''Let's Get Started'', ''Amazing'', and ''Let There Be Funk'' are incredible party songs that will cause you to celebrate and dance to the glory of God.
May this modern culture wake up to the fact that we have become apathetic and hard hearted towards God and we have deliberately settled for mediocrity. This should never be in the life of a born again Christian since we are made for so much more than this passing life.
We Christians should wake up to the fact that we don't celebrate enough and we don't seem to worship freely enough. We are too reserved and it bothers me to such an extent.
We need to confess that we have taken God for granted and we need to sincerely repent of this. We are supposed to be celebrating since God's awesome celestial kingdom is coming to this planet. Let us all quit sleepwalking through life and let us all come back to our first love which is none other than God. I pray that God will use this album as he wills to take back the cities and win more soul for Jesus Christ. I pray that the communities will be restored and that more people will be free to worship God and celebrate Jesus in an unbridled way and without compromise.
Recommended Albums.
Guvna B: Odd 1 Out.
Deitrick Haddon: Church On The Moon.
Ambassador: Stop The Funeral.
Da Truth: Heartbeat.
Papa San: One Blood.
Lecrae: Church Clothes.
Tedashii: Below Paradise.

IShine Live: Radio IShine.

I am ever so excited to introduce you to this incredible radio station that plays music that is current and up to date, and that plays music that a lot of young children and teenagers can relate to.

David Phelps: Life Is A Church

I like this album quite a lot and i believe this album truly stands out from the rest. This David Phelps album is quite different compared to most of the Christian Music that is out there.
David Phelps has a very unbelievable vocal range since he has been classically trained and he can reach high octave notes that a lot of male singers cannot reach.
Now David Phelps used to be in the Gaither Vocal Band and he is usally part of the Homecoming Friends and they are deeply embedded in their Bluegrass, Country and Southern Gospel roots and they sing quite a lot of Traditional Gospel Hymns.
David Phelps has taken some risks and has gone in a totally different direction and ''Life Is A Church'' doesn't sound anywhere near like the music he usually does with Bill Gaither and the Homecoming Friend and it took me by surprise.
This album contains some songs that are Rocky and some gentle ballads that will relax you and blow your mind. some of the songs contains some very worshipful lyrics that will point you to God and the music has been well produced. This album is incredible and powerful, and David Phelps voice is ever so off the chart.
Please Go On www.davidphelps.com for some more information about David Phelps.

Mixed Bag Entertainment.

I believe there is a much brighter future for Positive Christian Entertainment and that more upcoming artists can express their creative freedom without having to conform to the current trends if they sign up to this brand new record label. Mixed Bag Entertainment is headed by DA TRUTH, one of the most influential positive Rap Artists in this day and age. DA TRUTH just released his recent album ''Heartbeat'' this year and it is one of the greatest rap albums of today in my opinion. I believe it is going to impact people in a very positive way and point people to Jesus. ''Heartbeat'' contains collaborations with Lecrae, Papa San, Canon, Capital Kings, Tedashii, Isaac Carree, James Fortune, Chris August and many more. These artists are fantastic and they are morally excellent.
Mixed Bag Entertainment is going to be promoting cultural diversity and is going to play a massive part in breaking down the walls of prejudice Mostly, it is going to advance God's kingdom and raise up God's banner up high in this modern generation. I believe it is time to bring God's righteous standard back into the whole of society and i pray that Jesus will be put back in the centre of our lives. I am totally excited about the development of Positive Entertainment and the creative standards being taken to a whole new level.
My hope and prayer that this brand new label will take creative innovation to a whole new level and that there will be new pioneers that will create brand new musical styles that haven't existed yet.
I believe that the Positive Christian Artists should be pioneering new music that hasn't been created yet and bring fresh diversity into the church. God is much more creative that we think he is so let us reflect and truly represent God in our creativity. I believe Kingdom Music should be a lot more creative and way better than music created by people that are not Christians, and mostly create art to bring glory to God and make him famous. We need to work together if we are going to make a difference and change this generation for the better.

If you are interested in songwriting and you have strong musical talents and if you would like to know more about mixed Bag Entertainment, can I encourage you to go on the Mixed Bag Entertainment website or search www.mixedbagent.com. And you can always contact them if you are interested in making music that is creatively diverse and morally excellent.
Bear in mind, the main purpose of mixed bag Entertainment is to promote God through entertainment and to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with no compromise and to also promote godly values that honour God, advance his kingdom and build up the Church of Jesus Christ. Please can i encourage you never to use your God given talents to make yourself famous and chase after worldly success.
True success in God's eyes is being faithful to what God has called you to do and living to promote Jesus and making him famous. We are to make God famous and promote his heavenly kingdom.

If you are not a Christian yet and you would like to give your life to Jesus Christ and be transformed into a new and better person, i would like to encourage you to pray this prayer and mean it in your heart.

Father God, I acknowledge that you are holy and righteous in your ways and that I have disobeyed your commands and sinned so deeply against you. My sins have seperated me from you and I have deliberately gone my own way instead of following your perfect plan for my life. I am truly sorry and i would like to turn away from my disobedience and turn to you to be saved from my sins.
I have decided to accept Jesus in my heart and life and trust in Christ alone to be saved from eternal punishment, and I am willing to place my trust in his death and resurrection on my behalf.
I believe that you are the only way to Heaven and that there is no one else who can save me.
Please help me to live for you alone and live a life that pleases you and gives you glory.

I would also like to link you to this website if you are interested in putting a complete end to human traffiking. go on www.thea21campaign.org.

Lecrae.

I believe Lecrae is one of the most influential and innovative Rap artists of all time and he is one of the reasons I got a lot more into Rap music. From what I have heard of him, I think his music is incredible and his lyrics are truly uncompromising and it shows big time that he is sold out to Jesus Christ.
''Rehab'' was the very first Lecrae album I've bought even though it isn't the first album he has recorded. The other albums I've got of Lecrae is ''Gravity'', and Church Clothes Vol 2 and they are fantastic albums full of good quality music and awesome God honouring lyrics.
To let you know, Lecrae is part of Reach Records which has a strong passion for Jesus Christ and a heart for reaching people for Christ. You can go on www.reachrecords.com for some more information and there are some other rappers including Trip Lee, Tedashii, Andy Mineo, Sho Baraka and Derek Minor and they are deeply passionate about living out Romans 1:16 which is about being unashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You can check out Romans 1:16 in the new testament of the Bible.
If you are looking for Rap music that glorifies God and builds people up in a positive way, then check out Lecrae and some of the other Rappers I've mentioned on this blog.
God Bless you.

Family Force 5.


Family Force 5 are one of the band's that have totally changed the face of positive christian entertainment and their music is incredibly fun and excitive and they will definitely inspire you to put your dancing shoes on. They came on the scene with a bold and brave vision of pushing the creative boat out and bringing a much fresher dimension to what we call Contemporary Christian Music.
Family Force 5's music is a diverse range of Heavy Metal, Hip Hop, Rock, and Dance/Pop and they write so many incredibly exciting songs you can party along to.

To let you know, the original lead singer Solomon Olds who is also known as Soul Glow Activatur has left Family Force 5 and has been replaced by Jacob Old's who used to be the drummer for this exciting band. The brand new drummer is Teddy Boldt.
Now Family Force 5 have come back incredible stronger than ever before and they are going to get you excited big time. Their New album is called Time Stands Still.
Their new singles are BZRK which is featuring Rap artist KB and ''Let It Be Love''. You can check these songs out on www.youtube.com.


They are living proof that positive christian entertainment can and should be exciting and full of unbridled energy. They took a lot of creative risks which caused an awful lot of controversy within the church circle's who preferred Christian Music to be reserved and in a religious box and Family Force 5 recieved so much opposition amongst Christians that were so unhappy with their fresh direction in making Christian Music more entertaining and more accessible to a lot of young people who thought Contemporary Christian Music was too boring, corny and mostly off putting.
People, If it wasn't for some of the brave innovators who threw off convention and made CCM more fresh and exciting, The church would have become stagnant and lifeless and it would lose it's influence on this generation and most of all, the young children and teenagers would be totally disconnected from God and it would be a crying shame. We need a lot more innovation and a lot more diversity and a lot less religious phoniness. The truth is God will not tolerate religious phoniness. It is total smoke to his nostrels and he won't put up with it full stop.

Church of God, We are supposed to be passing the baton on to the younger generations because they are the future and they can tell what is fresh and new. We cannot afford to force feed them on traditional methods that worked in the past but doesn't work anymore because it will put them off big time. Christians, stop the legalism right now and for goodness sake stop bickering over differences and let us start working together.
If you are reading this blog review and you are a Christian youth leader, can I please encourage you to introduce this amazing band to the youngsters and teenagers you are ministering to and if you are doing disco's at your youth club, can I encourage you to play some of their songs and also some of the Artists I've listed at the bottom of this review. Don't keep on playing current chart songs at the youth club disco's. Focus a lot more on playing some modern up to date positive christian songs for a change. I believe they will change young lives in a positive way and God will be pleased if you make the choice to play some modern christian pop songs that advance God's kingdom.
Here are some Family Force 5 songs you could play at the youth club disco's.
Cray Button, featuring Lecrae.
Next Level, featuring LZ7.
Radiator.
Dance Or Die.
BZRK, featuring KB.

White Heart: Nothing But The Best, Rock Classics

I am ever so pleased to have bought this CD second hand at the Christian Bookshop since this compilation came out in the year 1994. White Heart are such an amazing Classic Rock band who have written some epic Rock songs that could one day be on the Guitar Hero Video Games in the future. I've never played Guitar Heroes before to be quite honest but I think songs like ''Powerhouse'',
''Nothing But The Best'', and ''Independence Day'' deserve to be on Guitar Heroes because the guitar riffs are totally incredible and off the chart, and the high pitched vocals is very powerful and soaring.
This Compilation contains songs that were written at the era of 1986-1994 and they are all fantastic songs that deserve a lot of airplay on Kerrang. It would make a massive change if Kerrang would play some positive Rock songs that advance God's kingdom and impact people in a very positive way. This is the very first time I have ever bought a White Heart CD and I am so blown away by the quality of their songs. These are all songs you can enjoy listening to for fun and they will make a positive impact on your life. This is proof that not all Rock music contains negative sin corrupted lyrics that plague so many secular Heavy Rock songs. White Heart not only create awesome music that you can air guitar along to, but they also set a very God honouring example in the lyrical content.
I believe Rock music in any form can be used to bring God glory and win souls for Christ since God created music for a purpose, so let us never abuse God's gift of music since it is a very powerful tool and it can influence people and spark a change in society.
I hope and pray this album review brings glory and honour to God since he is the only one who deserves the fame. Let us all look up to God and praise his holy name and let us raise God's banner high. ALL PRAISE BELONGS TO GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT. ONE GODHEAD,THREE IN ONE.
Other recommended positive Artists.
Degarmo And Key.
Petra.
The Rez Band.
Carman.
Stryper.

GRITS: Dichotomy A

GRITS are ever such an amazing and exciting Rap Duo who create fresh music that is totally fun and authentic and this is the kind of music you can dance along to and relate to as well. I think this is a classic album and mostly one of the greatest Rap album's ever. This GRITS album is ever so awesome and the quality is so diverse and exciting and that is what I like about it. I believe positive faith based Rap music is way better and more exciting than Non Christian Rap and mostly, more diverse in style. This GRITS album is jam packed with amazingly fun songs that are ever so incredible, and the rhythm's and beat's will excite you like goodness know's what, and the sound is quite futuristic and mindblowing. Some of my favorite songs on this album are ''Bobbin Bouncin'', ''Pardon Me Yo'',
''Mindblowin'', and ''Sunshine''. These songs are ever so super awesome and the quality is ever so mega excellent. ''I Be'', ''High'', and ''Anybody'', are quite fun to listen to as well.
This album features collaboration's with 4th Avenue Jones, Pettidee, Syntyst, Zion, and Out of Eden member, Lisa Kimmey.
Dichotomy A is such an incredible album and I believe GRITS have put a lot of creative effort to this album. I would like to rate this album 100%, 10/10 full on. What a masterpiece.

I am getting ever so sick and tired of negative and poisonous values that are being promoted in today's popular music and I cannot bear the fact that we don't seem to appreciate positive christian entertainment anywhere near enough. I'm getting ever so fed up of Pop music that is promoting so many value's that don't promote God's kingdom and we should be ashamed of ourselves for allowing so many young children feed on content that doesn't please God.
Not all non christian songs are unclean so please don't take what I'm saying out of context. I am just saying that we need more positive values and mostly, we need a lot more musical diversity in the mainstream world. There is a constant lack of true artistry in the world of secular music and a lot of the Pop stuff is too samey and uninspiring. I believe we need a revolution and total reformation in the British mainstream music scene.
With that been said, I am hoping that there will be brand new music shops that will sell a lot more positive christian entertainment that advances God's kingdom and that brings hope to people.
I am a big fan of positive entertainment and God willing, I will stay commited to listening to a lot more positive entertainment of different kinds and will keep on exploring.

I would like to recommend some more positive albums and they are top quality masterpieces.

Red Coalescence: Brand new Hip Hop supergroup.

I am ever so excited about this new band that is going to take positive christian entertainment by storm. This is the very first time I have discovered this new band on Jesusfreakhideout and they are signed by Save The City Records who is partnering with Prolegend Records which is totally brand new to me.
I have not yet heard any music by Red Coalescence but I believe they are going to take the Christian Music scene to a whole new level with music that is new generational and diverse. I believe this should excite the younger generations that are searching for new and current up to date music and I am also excited about hearing their music. They are going to push and hopefully eradicate the creative boundaries in Christian Entertainment and this is sheer evidence that their is a much brighter future for Positive Christian Entertainment.
Youth Leaders, can i please inform you to check this band out and bring their new music to the young people that you are ministering to in this day and age.
Their debut album ''Killers is available now on downloads so can I encourage you to check them out.
you can go on www.amazon.com and look up Red Coalescence.
The New Family Force 5 album ''Time Stands Still'' is coming out on August this year and their new singles are ''BZRK'' and ''Let It Be Love''.

I am deeply concerned about the fact that some of the positive modern albums especially Faith based Pop and Hip Hop albums are being released on download only.
I personally don't download music full stop and i prefer to perchase physical CD's.
Artists, please can i encourage you to release your albums on audio CD's as well as MP3 downloads because it is getting quite difficult for me to perchase some new and fantastic albums that are being released on just downloads, and I really enjoy supporting you and your God given ministry.
With that being said, may God continue using your music and ministry in a powerful way to reach more people for Jesus Christ and may God bless you. I am excited about meeting all of you when we get to Heaven to be with God forever and I'm looking forwards to hugging you when i meet up with you in Heaven. I would like to encourage you to keep on making more positive music to advance God's awesome kingdom. You have all been a real blessing and I am so proud of God for saving me from my sins and for adopting me into his awesome family. See you all soon and may God bless you now and forevermore.
Let us receive God's divine number 777.
