Pop synth freak out! Jesus style!

It seems that there is a lot of synth-heavy club music invading the Christian radio charts!  It's interesting with the four-on-the-floor beat pulsing with waves of electronica with a hint (or more) of auto tune.  I think it's cool, but it shows how often the Christian music scene mirrors secular music.

These elements in music are nearly 25 to 30 years old but are making a comeback thanks to Lady Gaga, Kanye West and a bunch of others I mentioned in the Examiner article that (might have) led you here.  So the Christian artists that are taking this road are:




Beckah Shae -- www.beckahshae.com
Shae is a California musician who has an amazing story of how God provided for her most of her life.  You have probably heard her song if you listen to Christian radio.  Click the link on the left to buy her CD, Life and check out the video below of the title track off of that album. 

I think she says "l'chaim" at one point...

Kerrie Roberts -- www.kerrieroberts.com
Kerrie has a song that's been on Christian radio for quite sometime.  The song is called "Outcast" and it's about being yourself despite all of the other crazy things your friends might do and knowing to Whom you belong.  Check out the official video below. 

I'm pretty sure Magnitude from Community makes an appearance at 2:40! 

Shonlock -- www.shonlock.com

This is the song that's burning up the Billboard Christian charts right now and the album will be out soon.  Click on the left to buy the single and check out his promo video for the album below.  It's like he's going to be the Christian Usher or something... dude apparently danced for a lot of big names and his moves are pretty cool, as you'll see in the video.

Shonlock, if you see this, I really want to play guitar for your band.  I know you have another dude in the video, but if he gets sick or weird (you know how guitarists are), I'm totally in!
