It's a beautiful Friday here at Musiccity but these new songs make it even more beautiful. Here are our picks in no particular order, for today, 14th April 2023.
This is the Gospel The Album - ELEVATION RHYTHM
ELEVATION RHYTHM's sophomore album, This Is the Gospel, was released today. The group's new seven-track collection follows ELEVATION RHYTHM's first full-length offering, Growing Pains. But unlike their emotionally-focused debut, This Is The Gospel is not only a work of art but a testament to faith.
"I felt this call and this responsibility to say, 'OK, if the next generation needs a foundation for their faith, what does that foundation look like? What is the Gospel? What are the pillars? What is the truth?," shares ELEVATION RHYTHM's lead architect and primary producer, Josh Holiday.
"I just knew this next album had to be truth-centered, and I wanted to create music that was going to be foundational for this next generation in their faith journey."
Repentance. Salvation. Sanctification. Wrapped in timeless melodies, these essential tenets of faith are all presented in an elementary manner on 'This Is The Gospel' with ELEVATION RHYTHM declaring: "This is what we believe." Listen to the full album here,
