Album Review: Chris Tomlin -Love Ran Red

  By MusiqPrincess November 7, 2014 , ,

Popular for his worship songs “Our God” and “How Great Is Our God”, try multiple Dove Award and Grammy Winner, this site  Chris Tomlin has created yet another masterpiece with his new album release Love Ran Red.

The album may be slightly different from what some fans are used to. However, regardless of the sounds Chris Tomlin included on the album, he still managed to give us the worship and praise songs we love so much. Not only did he give a spiritual resonance, it seems as though Chris Tomlin shared a little more of himself in this project and took a new approach.

The album paints a picture from beginning to end. “Greater” sets the tone for the album by giving a mid tempo worship build up. The hit single “Waterfall” follows with an increased pop influenced tempo increasing the momentum of the album.

Chris Tomlin “modernized” the traditional hymn At the Cross and showcases his gift to song-write with “At The Cross (Love Ran Red)”. Other songs like “Boundary Lines” and “The Roar” has an upbeat contemporary pop sound unlike previous songs on past albums.

The layout of Love Ran Redcan be compared to a roller-coaster effect due to the different variations of slow to fast paced songs that are played throughout the album. You can easily go from toe tapping to lifting your hands in worship.

Chris Tomlin- Love Ran RedSongs like “I Will Boast”, are beautiful lyrics that are accompanied by piano and other stringed instruments. Chris Tomlin talks about only boasting in the Cross because Jesus is the only one who took the nails to be sacrificed for mankind. “The Table”, a mid-tempo song, Chris Tomlin sings about  being invited and feasting at the table of the Lord where he will no longer hunger or thirst.

I personally like the album and believe it shows off Chris Tomlin’s (and his band’s) talent of being a gifted lyricist and sends a powerful message. What do you think? Is the album a buy or deny? Comment below and share your thoughts.

Check out the video below if you haven’t listened to the hit single “Waterfall”.

The Love Ran Red and Love Ran Red (Deluxe Edition) album is available everywhere.

  By MusiqPrincess September 26, 2014 ,

Remember when we said a little birdie told us that we can be expecting a new album from J Moss? Well, rx it’s not about the album, viagra approved but a new song.

Today, ask J Moss shared a link to “Fall At Your Feet” from his upcoming project via Facebook saying:

“My treat to the best supporters in the world!!”

A little different from Alright OK, J Moss gave us something that can put you into pure worship mode. At least that’s true for us. You can’t convince us that J is not painting a story with the songs he releases for the new album. He’s gone from telling us that everything is going to be alright OK, to telling us to fall at God’s feet.

Like us, you may want to fall at the Lord’s feet after hearing the song.

“Fall At Your Feet” has a nice feel to it. It’s nothing too slow nor too fast. What beautiful live music J has accompanying him! And the lyrics are just as beautiful. If we like the new songs that are released, we are almost sure we’re going to like the album when it comes!

We’ve had a listen. Now it’s your turn! How do you like the new song? Would you buy or deny?
