Christian Music Is Getting Younger Without Getting Quieter
The audience shifted first. The catalogue is catching up.
Christian Pop / Worship
ELEVATION RHYTHM
ELEVATION RHYTHM shares an address with Elevation Worship and almost nothing else. The songs are shorter, the drums are louder, and the vocal performances are pitched at a listener who found the song on a phone rather than in a service.
"WASHED," "GOODBYE YESTERDAY" with Gracie Binion, "THANK GOD I'M FREE" with Lizzie Morgan and "At The Altar" with Tiffany Hudson and Abbie Gamboa read as a deliberate attempt to write worship that behaves like youth-culture pop without softening its subject.
