Night Beat Rewind: February 2016

I could give a bad confession here about always being behind, but I am not going to do it. The truth is that we always seem to get new release information just about the time we are ready to post a Rewind, and we always try to get every entrant in the pool that should be. So that is why it is almost the end of March and I still have to get February in the bag. Good thing I've ditched the links.

We start our edition of Rewind with song releases, and there were quite a few.

The Singles Scene

• Eshon Burgundy - Pray 4.50 Emeralds
• Charles Butler and Trinity - Make It 4.50 Emeralds
• Canon - Take It All Away 4.50 Emeralds
• Copperlily - I Do Right Now 
• Fearless BND - Revival 5 Emeralds
• Fearless BND - Revival (Instrumental) 5 Emeralds
• Christon Gray - Fort Knox 4.50 Emeralds
• Nights Like This - Back to You ft Nate Cronk 4.50 Emeralds
• 1GN - Get Hype 4.25 Emeralds
• Sagebrush Church - Stand 4.75 Emeralds
• K Sparks - Sunshine 4.50 Emeralds
• Thousand Foot Krutch - Running With Giants 5 Emeralds

That is a big singles scene. I don't recall ever having a dozen songs in a month, unless we were talking about a complete album. The first group of albums, however, left me cold,

Missing The Mark

• Matt Baird - Keeper of My Heart 3.75 Emeralds
• Jody McBrayer Keep Breathing 3.75 Emeralds
• J-Giles Son - Kill To Protect 3.75 Emeralds
• K Sparks - Seasons Theme 3.75 Emeralds
• Newsboys - God's Not Dead: The Greatest Hits of the Newsboys 3.75 Emeralds
• RAW - Rawmerica 3.75 Emeralds
• Zadok The Godhop MC - Freedom 3.75 Emeralds

Like I usually say, these aren't terrible, but not award worthy in any respect. The next bunch of albums are not just award worthy, but they are in the finals and have a great shot at walking up to the podium.

Pure Platinum Perfection

• Anchor and Braille - Songs For The Late Night Drive Home 5 Emeralds
• Annie Moses Band - The Art of The Love Song 5 Emeralds
• Lacey Sturm - Life Screams 5 Emeralds
• Virtue - Fearless 5 Emeralds
• Adam Young - Apollo 11 (Instrumental) 5 Emeralds

And finally those in between the two extremes.
