Repeat the Sounding Joy!

Okay, music talk right now. Personally, I basically only listen to all things hip hop. I’m still growing on the Christian hip hop thing cuz it’s still fairly new and they’re still working on it. When it comes to contemporary Christian music on the other hand, I feel as if there’s been a lack of creativity lately. I know there’s got to be musical talent out there in those churches because almost every Christian plays some sort of instrument. I feel like there should be a statistic for that. We got bands that play at church and stuff, and they’re cool. But man, I have been craving some creativity and some freshness to this genre you know?

So I landed on this band, Citizens, about two years ago. They’ve definitely brought some creativity to some old songs and brought out some new stuff as well. They’re a band that formed from one of the Mars Hill churches and man, I would love to have them playing at Cru on Fridays haha. You can check out and listen to their music here.

Now, I also love Christmas music and I love cranking up that Joyful noise if you know what I’m saying. If you don’t that’s cool too, the Grinch can have you.

The Citizens put out this new album “Repeat the Sounding Joy” and it’s seriously pretty sweet. I love how they mixed things up. The first song on there is “Joy to the World” and man, it puts some Joy in me while I’m listening to it and makes me want to dance! The last song “Silent Night” just sounds like they got some real Angels to be backup singers on that thing!

Joy to the World

What I’m saying is check it out. No, I’m not being paid by them to promote this. I don’t have enough visitors on this blog to do that. haha
