Night Beat Rewind: March 2105

Though the nominations for #PlatVnyl5 are in, the nominations never stop coming in. The end of March not only brings Spring with it, but it also marks the half-way pole of the race that is the #PlatVnyl6 Eligibility Period. No singles were announced this month, so we move on to those entries which will not be in the pool, those that

Missed The Mark

• Joseph Habedank - Take Time to Be Holy 3.75 Emeralds
• Britt Nicole - The Remixes 3.75 Emeralds
• The McCrary Sisters - Let's Go 3.75 Emeralds
• Mike Real - Mind of Hollis 3.75 Emeralds
• Various - Songs 4 Worship: Hymns of the Ages 3.75 Emeralds
• Various - Worship Anthems Inspired By A.D. the Bible Continues 3.75 Emeralds
• We Are The City - Violent 3.75 Emeralds

Of this group, while all are good, though not particularly award worthy, I Was disappointed most by Britt Nicole. A regular album is borderline dance music, so a remix should have been a shoe in. The result fell flat however.

Nothing Flat about our next grouping, however.

Pure Platinum Perfection

• Altar Boys - Gut Level Music '2015 Edition' by Altar Boys 5 Emeralds
• Eshon Burgundy - The Fear of God 5 Emeralds
• Erica Campbell - Help 2.0 5 Emeralds
• Jonathan Thulin - Science Fiction 5 Emeralds
• Various - MOM: A Son's First Love. A Daughter's Best Friend 5 Emeralds
• Various - WOW Hits Party Mix 5 Emeralds
• Kirk Whalum - The Gospel According to Jazz, Chapter IV 5 Emeralds

7 Perfect 5's in a month means that the Candy Store is officially open once again. Really, it never does seem to close. A few caveats, though. The Altar Boys is a re-release, though I am not sure if a reunion is planned at the same time, so there may be no comeback award nomination. Kirk Whalum's 5 is for the Jazz alone. The between song banter about how Obamacare is so great or guns should be banned kind of bugged me, but I put it aside and listened to the music.

Our next grouping goes between the extremes. These are.
