Positive Entertainment Reviews

Grits are an incredibly exciting Rap Duo who are on Gotee Record, a label that promote cultural and racial diversity in music and this record is literally incredible. I like this record quite a lot and i am so pleased to review it. This record was released in 2004 along with Dichotomy A and i believe this album is a continuation of Dichotomy A.  Dichotomy B is awesome from start to finish and it is a musically colourful record. ''If I'' is quite futuristic with a video gamey feel. ''We Don't Play'' blends in Calypso, Rock and Hip Hop and it does it really well. It is featuring Manchild who is a rapper in Mars Hill and Deepspace 5. They are recommended if you like Underground Rap and Hip Hop.
''Saved Soul'' and ''U Want It are both musically different and creative. I quite like Underground Hip Hop music since a lot of it is interesting and most of it done by Christians is totally upbeat and distinctive and it doesn't conform to the Hip Hop norms. I totally recommend the Hip Hope Hits CD's. They are jam packed with so many awesome and  exciting underground Hip Hop music that can pump up the video gaming arcades. Don't miss out on them cos they are super amazing.
When you read this review, may i remind you that there is a lot more music out there if you dig deeper. I believe this Praise Illuminator Music Review Blog will inspire you to in your journey of digging deeper.

I am so proud of my faith in God since he is the only reason why i have more purpose in my life. God can make your life a lot more interesting if you give him a chance to change you from the inside. God is brilliant at changing peoples hearts.

I bought the Grits album ''Dichotomy B'' at the Big Church Day Out in 2014 and when i first heard the whole album i thought it was amazing. I like the fact that it is musically eclectic and that it doesn't attempt to sound like the other stuff we usually end up hearing. I bought a few underground Rap albums from the Big Church Day Out and they are stunning, believe me, i know what i am talking about. Here they are and they are recommended.

Braille: Box Of Rhymes.
4th Avenue Jones: Stereo The Evolution of Hip Rock Soul.
LA Symphony: Disappear Here.
29th Chapter: Supernova.
Lecrae: Rehab: The Overdose.

Music Style: Folk/Electronica, Praise and Worship.
Year Of Release: 2014.

I am so looking forwards to review another incredible album and this CD is recorded by the lead singer from one of the most unconventional and experimental worship bands of all time, the David Crowder Band. They totally changed the face of Worship Music and they brought so much freshness into the Church and it is about time they did. The David Crowder Band's music consists of Electronica, Folk, Dance and Progressive Rock and that brought a lot of diversity into the church.
If you are getting bored with the mediocrity in the Praise and Worship scene that has become so overloaded with cliche's and has become quite samey, you are in for a massive surprise when you hear the David Crowder Band. They are exciting, creative, full of life and extremely awesome and they will encourage you to see church music differently and in a more positive light.

Now I am reviewing Crowder's new and first solo album Neon Steeple and it is a very incredible album. If you combine Folk Music with elements of Electronica, you get Folktronica and that is what Neon Steeple sounds like. Songs like ''My Beloved'', ''Come Alive'' and ''Hands Of Love'' will pump up your exuberance level and will excite you big time. ''I Am'' is such a fantastic worship song that will get your hands lifted up in praise to God and it will inspire you to hold on to God whilst you're in the middle of the storm, that is when you are going through hard times. ''Lift Your Head Weary Sinners (Chains) has a country/folk feel and it contains elements of handclapping in the background.
''Ain't No Grave'' is quite upbeat and it gets even better as you listen to it and it bursts into celebration in the 2nd half of the song. ''You Are'' is such a highly explosive Folktronica song so you better get your dancing shoes on. The song bursts into life big time and it is bound to cause a praise explosion and a non stop praise illumination. ''You Are'' will give you a taster glimpse of what the music is going to be like in Heaven. This album also contains some mellow laid back songs that brings some balance to this incredible album. ''Here's My Heart'' starts off mellow and it bursts into life in the 2nd half of the song. It will grow on you the more you listen to it.
I hope and pray that there will be some new music shops run by Christians who promote positive entertainment and that brings a lot more diversity so that more and more people will be reached.
I am longing to see a brand new record shop that sells a lot of CD's that promote moral Christian values and that has a heart for reaching more people for Jesus. I am deeply concerned about the Christian Bookshops not selling anywhere near enough new albums and a lot of young children and teenagers are not entering the Christian Bookshops. It seems to me that only grown ups and elderly people enter the Christian Bookshops and it concerns me to such an extent. Christians, We need to wake up to the fact that a lot of youngsters are moving well away from the faith and a lot of people have become so apathetic and indifferent and it angers me. I would like to encourage you to pray for some new music shops to be built and for some new radio stations that promote a lot of diversity in positive entertainment, and that the Pubs, Clubs, Arcades and Amusement Parks will be taken back for God's glory. May God Bless You.

As I almost conclude this review, I would like to recommend some fantastic Worship Bands that are well worth a listen and they will appeal more to young people.
Planetshakers.
Hillsong Young And Free.
Rend Collective.

Switchfoot are one of the most talented and amazing rock bands you will ever hear and they are not afraid to be who God made them to be. This is the kind of album that will in no doubt start a revolution in the lives of the music listeners. Switchfoot put a lot of effort into all of their recording and they are very hard working. This is what I call real music and a lot of die hard rock fans will enjoy this album. The lead single ''Dark Horses'' inspires us to stand up against the darkness and go against the grain. We were not meant to follow the crowd because they will lead us in the wrong direction. ''The Original'' is such an awesome rock song that will encourage you to be who God created you to be and he made you unique from everyone else. There are some other amazing songs including ''Restless'', ''The War Inside'', and ''The Afterlife.
This album is full of anthemic songs and a some mellow tracks including ''Thrive'' and the title track.
This record is a little bit different than some of the albums they have recorded in the past and i like it when bands and artists explore different territories and directions in creativity. ''Selling The News'' is one of the songs on this album that sounds different and the lyrics are quite thought provoking. Let us not believe the lies that the media is feeding us with and don't buy into what the newspapers and trashy magazines are selling you.Vice Verses is such a masterpiece and a real Rock classic and I hope you enjoy it. If Switchfoot keep this up in the future and if they keep on moving forwards into different territories, they could easily become one of my favorite Rock bands of all times. I know we had ''The Jam'', ''U2'' ''Oasis'', Ocean Colour Scene, Kaiser Chiefs, ''The Killers'', ''The Foo Fighters'', ''Muse'' and many other Guitar Bands but I would also like to recommend ''House Of Heroes'', and ''Anberlin''. They are some of the top quality classic Guitar Bands and you will be surprised.
Let us hope the pub ministries will sweep across the whole of Great Britain and the USA.

Recommended songs.
The Afterlife.
The Original.
The War Inside
Restless.
Dark Horses.

Switchfoot are also in the American mainstream music scene.

I am so thankful that God has allowed me to review so many different albums by various artists of all kinds. If it wasn't for God saving me from my old life, I wouldn't have heard of these amazing artists that I have reviewed. I hope and pray that you were all encouraged and inspired by the Positive Entertainment Reviews and that I am hoping that God will use it in ways I don't know.
On this blog, I have reviewed different positive Artists including Guvna B, Tobymac, Skillet, Papa San, Lecrae, Canton Jones, Group 1 Crew, Phil Wickham, Israel Houghton, Trip Lee, Royal Tailor, Salvador, Rend Collective, Third Day and many more. As a Bonus, I have also reviewed an Artist who is not a Christian and I was brought up on him at a very young age. That artist is none other than
Paul Weller. I have also review a couple of albums by Carleen Anderson who is a very genuine Christian who was close friends with Paul Weller. Also, I have also reviewed albums by U2 and
Owl City as an extra added bonus. I was brought up on U2 at a very early age. I got into Owl City when I looked up Louderthanthemusic and the second Owl City album was on it. This was a couple of years ago. Now I think Owl City is absolutely fantastic and his music is very unique and captivating. I have reviewed ''Ocean Eyes'' and the recent Owl City album ''Midsummer Station''.
The second Owl City Album is called ''All Things Bright and Beautiful. That's the Owl City album that I haven't reviewed but I truly recommend that album. Recommended songs from ''All Things Bright And Beautiful''.

Deer In The Headlights.
Angels.
Galaxies.
Alligator Sky.

Now I am going to review this incredibly awesome album by Jai, and the album is called ''Culture Shock''. This album is ever so mindblowing and the youngsters are going to enjoy this particular album. I personally think this album is ever so brilliant and I'm so glad I brought this album.
This album is excellent in quality and there are some danceable Electro/Pop songs including ''Praise Grenade'', ''Good Day'', and ''Dancing For You'' which is featuring British Rapper Guvna B.
''Calling You'' is a fantastic song and it contains so very worshipful lyrics and it is featuring one of the most culturally relevant Rap Artists Lecrae. ''Incredible'' is so mindblowing and it is featuring Thi'sl. I think that particular song should appear on Superhero based action films and video games.
My favorite song ''Reflection'' is just a totally hilariously awesome song which encourages us with the fact that we don't have to dress to impress the crowd. We live in a very fashion oriented culture that is pressuring us to look like and dress like the models that we see in movies and magazines and we all need God's help to resist the temptation of trying to fit in with the crowd.
This album as a whole is absolutely amazing and I believe the kids are going to like this album.
LET US ALL SHOCK THIS CULTURE BACK TO LIFE.
I pray that God will use this blog in a powerful way to advance his kingdom and win more souls for Christ. To God be the highest praise. The glory and the fame belongs to God and God alone.
GOD IS THE GREATEST AND GOD IS THE NUMBER ONE CHAMPION.
