There were a few memorable performances last night at the VMA awards. Adele certainly comes to mind as does today’s Music Monday selection, Beyonce.

Congratulations to her and to my bff, two good lookin’ future mommies! Get More: 2011 VMA, Music, Beyoncé
There’s less than a month to go until the release of Matt Maher’s new album, The Love In Between.

A few weeks ago, I heard a [...]
I love Mumford and Sons! Their song lyrics always have a depth of meaning that is hard to find in popular music these days.
God calls us each to a unique ministry. For British Catholic band Ooberfuse it comes in the form of electro-pop music that spreads the message of the Gospel.

Thankfully, having their Heart’s Cry chosen as the official youth anthem of the UK visit helped them gain the notice of several UK news outlets—both mainstream and Christian. Who else can use [...]
This is one of my favorite U2 songs. Last night, my friend told me that he had just come back from a U2 concert and loved it. I couldn’t stop thinking about this song since that conversation. Beautiful lyrics: I was born to sing for you I didn’t have a choice but to lift you up And sing whatever song you wanted me to I give you back my voice From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful [...]
