#4 That's Gospel, Brother - Gaither Vocal Band

Gospel Music Hall of Famers the Gaither Vocal Band continue to raise the standard of benchmark harmonies with this uplifting recording. Featuring innovative renditions of classic favorites as well as signature versions of new songs, That’s Gospel, Brother spotlights not only their individual talents but their seamless group blends. Showcasing several up-tempo selections, this release captures the quintet’s stage energy and offers messages of hope and encouragement for life's challenges.

#5 Rescue Story - Zach Williams

Published Oct 4, 2019
With his sophomore album, Rescue Story, Zach Williams tweaked the sound from breakout debut, infusing more gospel and a dash of country into his brand of southern rock. It's encouraging that Williams is actively avoiding common sounds of the CCM industry, but at the same time the execution and lyrics here seem a bit one-dimensional. That said, Williams' rich, gruff voice largely makes up for this slight setback. Those that are looking for something a little different in CCM should give Rescue Story a listen.

#6 A Million Lights - Michael W Smith

Michael W. Smith is one of the defining faces of modern Christian music and with that title comes a talent that has captivated listeners time and again. With his beautiful 2010 effort, Wonder, his capabilities as a songwriter were never clearer. On the contrary, A Million Lights borrows more from the popular instead of capitalizing on his identity as a songwriter and as a result, it's a disheartening listen. The record draws heavy influence from acts like Coldplay, The Chainsmokers ("Something In My Heart") and even Fifth Harmony ("Footsteps") with its heavy use of synths, EDM drops and inspirational aesthetic. As an electronic album, it's serviceable at best. The piano-led ballad "Hey Love," as well as the string-laden "Forgive," are the record's strongest and most familiar offerings.

#7 Piano Reflections Vol. 5 & 6 - Hillsong Instrumental

Published Dec 20, 2020
Feeling stressed? Calm your heart and mind with these soul-soothing piano renditions! Providing a tranquil backdrop to your quiet times with God, this inspiring instrumental collection includes "Touch of Heaven," "P.E.A.C.E.," "As You Find Me," "I Will Praise You," "Good Grace," "I Surrender," "What a Beautiful Name," "From Whom All Blessings Flow," "Every Breath," "Holy Ground," and more. Two CDs

#8 Hillsong United Live at Madison Square Gardens – Hillsong United

Published Jan 21, 2021
