This Secular Music review is for Christians who are going to make some incredible music in the future.
Imagine Dragons are one of the most musically creative bands that are not at all content with the status quo and the album ''Night Visions'' is a real example of this. this album is a lot more interesting musically than most of the current music that is in the charts. Imagine Dragons have taken some risks and the 13 songs on this record sound distinct from one another and they don't sound too samey and repetitive. This record is quite adventurous and the high quality is completely amazing from start to finish. The Electronic influences are evident on the popular single ''Radioactive'', and ''the 2nd track ''Tiptoe''.and the most explosive and innovative closing track ''Working Man''. ''On Top Of The World'' has a very singalong feel and the music is quite jolly and folky. ''Amsterdam'' is a hair tingling rock song with a powerful chorus that is meant for stadiums and arenas.
As a bonus, I would like to recommend Arcade Fire's recent album ''Reflektor''. It is a very creative and uniquely original album. Another resource for future bands and artists.
Imagine Dragons set a great example for bands to follow and this record is a perfect resource for future bands and artists, especially Christians who are going to be making music in the future depending on what music they want to create.
We need to be raising up a lot more bands and artists in Great Britain and they got to be musically trained if they are going to create and Christians are not exempt from this.
We are running low on Christian Bands in Great Britain and this is serious. I will not tolerate uncreativity amongst Christians because the Church of God was meant to be the most creative force on this planet. If the music that Christians are creating are not as excellent and as High Quality as the Non Christian Bands and Artists and they are not pioneering something brand new and innovative, then something is wrong. Christians should give themselves a reality check if they continue to be embedded in their religious bubble. and Christians, if you truly want to make some new music and if you truly want to make an everlasting and eternal different in this modern generation, you need to be musically trained, and you also need a lot of accountability from spiritual mentors that will support you and help you grow spiritually. Make sure you are getting some musical inspirations that will challenge you to step into new musical territories and create something that is out of this world.
If you choose not to go to the next level musically, then you should stop songwriting until you are willing to make new music that doesn't sound the same, and for goodness sake, don't imitate other music makers.
I have been listening to music from an early age and i have heard so many different Bands and Artists of different cultures and backgrounds throughout the years. I have a very kaleidoscopic musical taste and i love experimenting different music both old and new. I will continue to hear out lots of different music and i will listen to different bands and artists according to the season i am in.
I refuse to listen to the same music and same artists over and over again and i will never stay in the same place. One of the bands i was listening to recently was The Cure and they have been going for years. The Cure are one of the most unique bands you will ever hear and and they are so amazing.
The lead singer Robert Smith has such an incredible and distinctive singing voice and the music is ever so incredible.
If you have never heard of The Cure before and you would like to hear their music, i recommend
The Cure: Greatest Hits. One of their songs i would like to recommend is ''Love Song'', it is the sort of song you can worship God with in your daily life, there are some good lyrics in that song.
This is another resource for future music makers.
If you are looking for another song you can worship God with, i recommend
Ian Brown: Love Like A Fountain, it is an album called ''Golden Greats'', a late 90's record. Ian Brown used to be the lead singer in the late 80's/early 90's Britpop/Madchester band called The Stone Roses and then he went solo. His solo stuff is incredible and he has experimented a different variety of sounds and styles over the years including, Acid House, Techno, Psychodelic/Indie Rock, Dance, Funk, Hip Hop and some other music styles as well. Ian Brown is an original artist and i have a lot of respect for him. I have listened to Ian Brown in the past and i am listening to him again.
We need a lot more original artists who are not content with what is popular in the charts.
Most important of all, i have a very strong faith in Jesus Christ and my true identity is found in God alone for i am a child of God.
God is the true source of everything that is creative so let us use our God given gifts and talents to bring hope to the communities across the whole globe and bring more people into God's Heavenly Kingdom. Be creative and be willing the clear the whole world of stagnation and apathy.
To God be the highest glory now and forevermore.
