The Home of the Platinum Vinyl Awards. Reviews of New CD releases, mostly CCM but also mainstream releases that may interest the Christian Music listener. Music News and Commentary, especially when there's a CCM connection.
We are ready to close out 2019 and step into a new decade. Things are a little light in December, as is expected. I am keeping up with the Two Post Rewind, though, even though things may be a bit short.

The final Single Scene of 2019 is in the books. On to 2020. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
Welcome back to an all new edition of Music Video Monday. We are getting into the flow of things here at Night Beat HQ. I think we may yet get on top of things soon. One step at a time. We begin with with Jamie Grace and The Happy Song.
Next up we have Derek Minor and Hollyn. They Both Want to Change The World. Finally we pick up a little spare change by returning to our Paper Route. Check out the Balconies of Grace. That does it for this edition of Music Video Monday. Two in a row. Here we go. I am Awaiting Your Reply.
We move on to our second of three multiple genre posts. This time we have Pop Music and the new genre Remixes. There are enough Remix albums out there now to merit a full genre, though not enough each quarter to have its own post. Both of these genres contributed four entries apiece.
Pop Music
Anthem Lights - You Have My Heart
Jamie Grace - Ready To Fly
Lights of Day - Lights of Day
Loftland - I Don't Want to Dance
Remixes
Capital Kings - Remixed EP
Jars of Clay - Inlandia: The Remix Collection EP
Jesus Culture - Jesus Culture Reconstructed, Volume 1
David Thulin - Reconstruction 2.1
That concludes our second of three multiple genre postings of the second quarter releases that made the pool. Next up is our final installment with Rap and Metal.
