I typically go onto iTunes late Monday (usually around 11pm Monday Pacific Time it updates for the new week) or Tuesday to look over the new music for the week. Since I’ve had Tomlin’s new album Hello Love for a couple weeks (not sharing my secret) I forgot about it and when I went to the iTunes store today he was everywhere!
Now I haven’t been shy about my love for Chris’ music. He is the person I learned guitar playing with and the person who produced a passion for worshiping God in me.
However, I will say this…it is too much of him on iTunes. I’ve never seen so much of one person or band (other than American Idol crap) on iTunes at one time. Let me give a few examples.
So I guess all the publicity does one good thing…sells a lot of albums. I don’t think I’ve seen many other (if any) Christian albums as high as #3. It is a great album, although I like Charlie Hall’s new album just as much if not more. Since I’ve listened to the album a bit…here are my favorites:
- Praise the Father, Praise the Son
- I Will Rise
- Exalted (Yahweh)
- Love (Rose made me put it in, the African choir makes her cry)
- Jesus Messiah
What are your first thoughts on the new record?
