Music Video Monday: I'll Never Be Ready

We are back with an all new edition of Music Video Monday. It's been quite a while since our last post, and it was due somewhat to a lack of videos, but we are back with a vengeance.

We start things going hunting. With Demon Hunter. From their album Peace, part of their War and Peace Release, this is More Than Bones.

From The Arena to the Dance Floor. LZ7 is the successor to the Dance/Hip Hop Legend WWMT (aka World Wide Message Tribe or simply The Tribe). Lindz West formed the band shortly after the Tribe Broke up, and they have proven a worthy heir. These are Better Days released this year and I Give My All is by far my favorite song. And the crashing nature video is pretty good too.
Finally it is time to get out your hankies once again. When Veridia came out with The Beast You Feed, I gave it a 5 Emerald rating for various reasons. The Biggest one was I'll Never Be Ready, a touching tribute to her late father, which had Deena accompanied by Amy Lee of Evanescence. It was a song worthy of Angels. Now we add a video done in the form of a home video of a dance between father and daughter. I won't spoil it further.

I told you to get your hankies before watching, didn't I? I wouldn't let you get ripped apart emotionally without warning you first. 

I will return, hopefully, next week with an all new edition of Music Video Monday. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Night Beat Rewind: January 2019

Welcome to 2019. It is hard to believe that it has been nine years. We started around the 4th of July in 2010, so officially we are in our ninth year, but due to our adjusted calendar year for the Platinum Vinyl Awards we're taking entries for our tenth awards. We begin with the songs (not albums) released during the month.

The Singles Scene is getting off to a hot start. I really will only make one comment on this section. Avoid Jeremy Benjamin. It is not a work of art. Unless you are a snowflake and believe all White Americans are racist, sexist etc. It doesn't qualify as a Christian Song, and I go out of my way to bring in anyone remotely spiritual. We Go on to the albums, and we begin with those albums which will not make the cut.

Missing The Mark

• The Drowned God - I'll Always Be The Same 3.75 Emeralds
• Eric Heron - Neon: A Somewhat Adamant Sequel 3.75 Emeralds
• Jarry Manna - Legends of Lotus Waver EP 4.25 Emeralds

Four MTMs is a good sign to start the year. Let's go from these to the perfect.

Pure Platinum Perfection

• Bethel Music - Victory (Live) 5 Emeralds
• Passion - Follow You Anywhere (Live) 5 Emeralds
• Upperroom - Moments: Color 003 5 Emeralds

Night Beat Rewind: March 2017

Things are backed up here at Night Beat HQ. Here it is almost the first of May and I have not even put out the March edition of Rewind. Well, the procrastination and delay ends right now. Some of the problem is unavoidable. My April notes disappeared, so I am forced to re-listen and re-rate for the first 3 weeks of April. Ouch. Anyway, let's get to it. We begin, as always, with the songs released during the month, or as we like to call it.

The Singles Scene

• Built By Titan - You (feat Skybourne) 4.75 Emeralds
• Hillsong Worship - What A Beautiful Name 4.50 Emeralds
• Hillsong Young and Free - Where You Are (Re-imagined) 
• Dara Maclean - Ashes 5 Emeralds
• Mandisa - Unfinished 5 Emeralds
• Kim Walker-Smith - Throne Room 5 Emeralds
• Ryan Stevenson - The Gospel 5 Emeralds 

Despite it being marketed as an EP, I am including Hillsong's What a Beautiful Name as a Single. It is really 1 song remixed 6 different ways. That does it for the singles. We move to the albums, and we also begin with those albums which do not make the #PlatVnyl8 cut.

Missing The Mark

• Dru Bex - The Good Album 3.75 Emeralds
• J-Giles Son - Promise 2 3.50 Emeralds
• Montel Dorsey and MUniversity - Love Over Hate 3.50 Emeralds
• Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors - Souvenir 3.75 Emeralds
• Random Hero - The Covering 3.75 Emeralds

5 miss the mark makes me confident that things are still on the level at Night Beat HQ. Too many would make me wonder about the quality of the industry. Of course the next grouping makes me wonder if I am going soft.

Pure Platinum Perfection

• Colton Dixon - Identity 5 Emeralds
• Demon Hunter - Outlive 5 Emeralds
• Edge Kirkland - Ekrmx 5 Emeralds
• Mercy Me - Lifer 5 Emeralds
• Kerrie Roberts - Boundless 5 Emeralds

5 Perfect albums in a month means 60 in a year if the trend continues. That could mean an award ceremony of only perfect albums.

Semi-Precious Metal

• As We Ascend - Farewell To Midnight 4.75 Emeralds
• Jason Bare - Fearless 4.75 Emeralds
• Daniel Bashta - My Resurrection (Live) 4.50 Emeralds
• Brooke and Boggs - Wildfire EP 4.75 Emeralds
• Dante Bowe - Son of a Father 4.75 Emeralds
• Earnest A - Form Father to Son 4.50 Emeralds
• Elevation Worship - There is a Cloud 4.75 Emeralds
• Fireflight - Re-Imag-Innova EP 4.75 Emeralds
• Flatfoot 56 -Odd Boat 4.75 Emeralds 
• Young Fox - Sky Beats Gold 4.75 Emeralds
• GAWVI - We Belong 4.75 Emeralds
• Informants - Uprising 4.75 Emeralds
• K.I.D.S. - Side A EP 4.75 Emeralds
• Sajan Nauriyal - Always Enough 4.75 Emeralds
• Out of The Dust - Out of the Dust 4.75 Emeralds
• Righteous Vendetta - Cursed 4.75 Emeralds
• Root Road - Come Alive 4.50 Emeralds
• Selah - Unbreakable 4.50 Emeralds
• Aaron Shust - Love Made A Way (Live) 4.75 Emeralds
• Rita Springer - Battles 4.75 Emeralds
• Aaron Sprinkle - Real Life 4.75 Emeralds
• Laura Story - Open Hands 4.75 Emeralds
• Greg Sykes - Reverse EP 4.50 Emeralds
• Mike Teruel - Fragments 4.50 Emeralds
• Jaci Velasquez - Trust 4.75 Emeralds
• Darlene Zschech - Here I Am Send Me 4.50 Emeralds

It took a week, but here we are. The MARCH edition of Rewind. If you haven't noticed the calendar, it is May. If you live in the Northeast United States you can be forgiven for your disbelief. It certainly doesn't feel like May, it feels a lot like March. On to April. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Night Beat Rewind: October 2015

The seventh edition of the Platinum Vinyl Awards is upon us, commonly known as #PlatVnyl7. Now they say that seven is a deeply spiritual number, the number of Perfection. I knew this was perfect from Day One. Now they recognize it. 

We begin with Christmas Music, which is way too early, but you can't fight city hall or the music industry. The only consolation is that we don't have a Christmas Music category in the finals, so this is all for entertainment (sorry) purposes only.

Christmas Music (Non-Eligible)

• Paul Baloche - Christmas Worship [Vol 2] 4.25 Emeralds
• David Britton - Christmas 4.75 Emeralds
• Steven Curtis Chapman - Christmas Hymns 4.50 Emeralds
• Gaither Vocal Band - Christmas Collection 4.50 Emeralds
• Keith and Kristyn Getty - Joy - An Irish Christmas Live 5 Emeralds
• Danny Gokey - Christmas Is Here 4.75 Emeralds
• Andrew Greer and Friends - Angel Band: The Christmas Sessions 3.50 Emeralds
• Mercy Me - Mercy Me It's Christmas 4.75 Emeralds
• Laura Story - God With Us 4.50 Emeralds
• Chris Tomlin - Adore: Christmas Songs of Worship (Live) 4.25 Emeralds

There was also a "release" from Rend Collective, but according to all the research I did it was simply a re-release this year, but its first release was for Christmas 2014. We were not fooled.

There were a number of Singles to kick off the #PlatVnyl7 Eligibility Year, so let's get right to it.

The Singles Scene

• Audrey Assad - Even Unto Death 5 Emeralds
• Crusoe - Captivate 4.75 Emeralds
• Satellites and Sirens - Wildfire 4.50 Emeralds
• Jeremy James Whitaker - Dreams 4.75 Emeralds

It's good to see Audrey Assad back. She was about to drop out of the scene, and that would be a great loss to Christian Music. And we have two new artists in Jeremy James Whitaker and Crusoe, which would be perfect to listen if stranded on a desert island.

We continue with a few items you probably wouldn't pack if you knew you were going to be stranded on that island.

Missing The Mark

• Manafest - Reborn 3.75 Emeralds
• Gordon Mote - Gordon Mote Sings Hymns and Songs of Inspiration 3.75 Emeralds
• Playdough and DJ Sean Patrick - We Buy Gold 3.50 Emeralds

Not much to say here, except that I was extremely disappointed in Manafest this time around. I was expecting Rap/Rock and didn't get it. Now in this next group there are no disappointments, only Pure Platinum.

Pure Platinum Perfection

• Capital Kings - II 5 Emeralds
• Demon Hunter - Extremist (Deluxe Edition) 5 Emeralds
• James Jackson and Atlanta Praise - Nothin But High Praise 5 Emeralds
• Kevin Max - Starry Eyes Surprise 5 Emeralds
• Salt of The Sound - Echoes of Wonder 5 Emeralds
• Stryper - Fallen 5 Emeralds
• Teramaze - Her Halo 5 Emeralds

WOW is all I can say here. Maybe not. Capital Kings abandoned synthpop for industrial and a darker sound overall and it really worked for me. James Jackson has an awesome Gospel Sound. Salt of The Sound continues to produce entrancing trance and Stryper. Trilogy, Smilogy. Let's go for 4. But of course the most pleasant surprise here is Kevin Max. We always knew he had a unique singing voice ("shimmering" voice), but who knew he could be the new "Ol Blue Eyes" (That's Sinatra fyi).

Update 12/21/16: Just recently discovered, but in time for the nominees is Australian Metal/Prog Rock band Teramaze. 3 Megasongs on an album (and a 4th just one second off the standard). And they are not afraid of long instrumental segments. A worthy successor to the Crown held by IONA.

As we always remind you, most of the releases fall somewhere in the middle, in a realm we at The Night Beat refer to as

• Vocal Few - The Dream Alive 4.50 Emeralds   
• Tyler Ward - Yellow Boxes, Day One 4.75 Emeralds
• Jean Watson - Steady My Gaze 4.50 Emeralds

I am finally finished. I am forgoing links, but for a different reason. I may put in links for Christmas music, but I am going to start linking the quarterly wraps. Since the releases are all there except for those that missed the mark, and they are spread out by genre, it is a lot less taxing. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
