About:

Jon J. is an amazing artist. “The Power Struggle” covers and mixtures R&B, Pop, Dance, Hip-Hop, Gospel styles all in one making this album unique in it’s own way. Even greater… Jon J. is offering his debut album for free!!. You can grab it at his bandcamp page here in full HQ 320kbps.

The best thing about Jon J’s music and lyrics is how it brings out the deepest most human feelings regardless of their depth. I feel nothing but raw energy coming from his songs. It digs deep at a man’s core and into his soul. It might make people uncomfortable if they are not ready for the realness, but they need to prepare themselves for what Jon J has to offer; no, not just an exquisite style and sound, but the love of an unconditional God.

About:

“Formed in 1997 by multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter David Hanley as a vehicle for positive and relevant faith-based transformation, effusive Los Angeles-based praise & worship outfit Press Play began to make a name for itself in the CCM community in 2001 after becoming the house band for Angelus Temple’s Dream Center, an inner city, community-based house of worship with “line-array speakers, 52-foot panoramic screen, LED stage panels, and a sound system.” Known for its high-energy, genre-bending sound and huge multimedia show, the band released its’ debut album Life Is Beautiful on Dream Records on May 19, 2009.” - James Christopher Monger, Rovi

Reviews & Opinions:

“Praise God that Press Play’s ministry is taking the nation by storm! Among the naysayers who don’t know what’s the intent for this album- this music is meant to be performed with big flash mob dance groups in public places likes malls and parks, just like that famous T-Mobile ad. I have been blessed by the dance ministry at Dream Center who take music intentionally used for a secular audience but interpret it so that it is used to share the gospel! Please pray that all those who see, hear and experience the NY2LATOUR.com project along with this album will come in terms with encountering God, especially many non-believers. If we make it viral, this could be big in outreaching to our generation with the advancement of web 2.0- representing Jesus for our nation! For all the dance crews and ministries, I provided the DaNcE 4 CHr1sT iMix full of kingdom gospel joints that can be used for public dance in benefit for God’s eternal glory Amen!” - 1BodyNChrist

Artist: Kerrie Roberts
Album: Kerrie Roberts (Self-Titled, Debut)
Release Date: August 24th, 2010
Style: Pop / Dance / R & B
Label: Reunion Records / Sony Music Entertainment
Location: United States

About:

At first glance, Kerrie Roberts is the unassuming girl with a huge voice. But once her voice captures you, it is clear there’s much more going on here. Dynamic yet intimate, uniquely emotive and soulful, her self-titled debut reveals the heart of an empathetic artist.

These are the songs of a distinctly relational and prolific songwriter. “My father is a pastor, so my whole family has been shaped by the church,” says Kerrie. “From a young age, my parents always taught me to reach out to the broken and to those who need hope.” With her first performance at the age of 5, Kerrie grew up singing in church, playing piano and leading worship. She wrote her first songs in high school. The 10 songs on Kerrie Roberts reflect the redemptive seeds planted during those years and into her young adulthood.

Thematically, the album explores a thoughtful side of faith, hope and love—the acknowledgment that an authentic life of faith isn’t void of suffering, the purpose amidst pain, the promise that a breakthrough is coming, and the motivating power of God’s love. Says Kerrie, “I want every song to leave people with a sense of purpose—a call to action, a realization of a truth, a promotion of hope and healing.”

Reviews & Opinions:

Shouting out my highest praises for Kerrie Roberts debut album! She is amazingly talented, and it is such a joy to listen to this CD! The sound of her voice captures you, and without a doubt, the lyrics will bless you.
