The Christian Music Discovery podcast - New Christian Releases - November 21st, 2020 (The last episode before we take a break)


NOTE: This is the last episode for now. After 36 episodes, we are taking a break to evaluate and decide if / how we will continue with this podcast.

===

We have released a new episode of our Christian Music Discovery podcast. In this episode, we discuss songs released in the past week (200 hours) and how they performed in our charts. 

These episodes are a great way to know which newly released Christian CCM songs are performing the best and are also causing the most chatter (on radio, websites, social media, etc.). During these episodes, we also feature songs by (less known) artists that we believe deserve more "love". 

For this podcast, we have created a Top 25 chart with the highest performing releases of the past week (200 hours) - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0gA5SZLPEKKTvilc2AhLY7. This chart has the songs that people are talking about right now on radio, TV, magazines, etc.. 

Follow our podcast and our Top 25 chart for recent releases, and you will know which new Christian songs are tomorrow's hits.

"Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" by Century Worship: A Palm Sunday Call to Rejoice the King

Century Worship's "Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" is a joyful gathering cry: "Can you hear it in the distance? The King is coming." The song takes us back to the Palm Sunday moment when Jesus entered Jerusalem, humble and righteous. The lyrics invite us to gather because something is happening. The King is approaching - not with spectacle, but with humility, faithfulness, and saving grace.  Our response is that of expectation, not spectatorship. This is worship that moves us and lifts our eyes. Instead of holding back, we're encouraged "raise up your voices" and prepare the way by laying down symbols of surrender. "Oh lay down your branches, make way for the Savior."   So, why does this song matter today? Because it reminds us that worship is both a response and a declaration. Rejoice, make room, and speak it out! We're reminded of His goodness "to save us, to change us, to bring us home again," and it anchors our hope: ...

"Boxes" by John Long: Breaking Free from Religious Boxes

(by Jasper Tan) John Long’s “Boxes,” written with Dustin Smith, is both a reflection and criticism of how we oftentimes allow ourselves to be limited (“boxed”) with our faith. Using the “box” as the core metaphor of the song, it represents our self-imposed (or community-imposed) limitations with religious traditions that prevents genuine a genuine relationship with God. John emphasizes that these limitations often run into conflict with the original intentions of God, to have a free flowing holy communion with God. The song is characterized by our sense of longing and our desire to re-approach our Faith with clean hands and a pure heart. From the opening lines itself, we are challenged to evaluate the current status of our faith and come to realize that it may never really what we intend it to be. Our intention from the start was born from a desire to start a deep and Holy Communion with God, and as the bridge and chorus approaches, the song has a more personal and prayerful tone. We a...

"He's My Rock" by Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ: Finding Shelter in the Storm

(by Jasper Tan) “He’s My Rock” by Jamar Esaw & Triad4Christ featuring Koriann Lewis-Freeman is a powerful contemporary Gospel track that delivers a blend of traditional worship and modern soul. It reminds me of some of the songs by the band DC Talk, which was the definitive sound of modern Christian Contemporary Music when it exploded in the music scene back in the 90’s. This contemporary Gospel track brings forth an energetic sound that updates the way we sing our praise and worship sessions in our Churches. The song brings in a raw modern energy that breaks tradition while also encouraging worship sessions to be more in tune with the times, which brings a lot of youthful energy. The song is powered by Jamar Esaw’s smooth, commanding vocals and Koriann Lewis-Freeman’s additional vocal range. Bringing in an electric chemistry rooted in the authenticity of emotions as they sang the lyrics of the song. This is clearly felt during the song’s build-up to its climactic moments. With a r...
