Positive Entertainment Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You can listen to these bands on XBox Music which is similar to Spotify.

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.

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''.
