Tony Robert Allen's latest single "Into You" is a synth-pop laden CCM track that hooks us with its catchy melody and danceable tune. On surface, one might mistake the song as your traditional pop song, but taking a deeper dive into the lyrics will allow you to appreciate the song more and realize that it's more than just your traditional pop song. And that's the beauty of songs like these.
In a world where pop music's lyrics has fallen off to shallow meanings, buoyed only by the well composed music, "Into You" is a breath of fresh air. Because not only are we hooked with the synth-pop sensibilities of the music, but we are also drawn to the overall message of the song. And like how our Christian life sometimes drifts apart from God, the song has a magnetic way of pulling us back into God's gravity. That is what the song seeks to remind us.
We can run as far away from God as we can. Or we can choose to shut him off. But once we recognize his love and have it affect us deeply, we will always be drawn back to him. God's love for us is inescapable. It will always be magnetic. And Tony couldn't have expressed it better with this song. "Into You" proves that Christian Music can be fun. And we do have a choice when it comes to engaging with positive and inspiring pop music. And we look no further than tuning in to "Into You."
