Indie Artist Rundown

Image
Over the years, many of our favorite artists have left their major labels and chosen to release their music independently. Some were dropped by their labels due to low sales, artistic disagreements, or age. Still others leave their major labels for artistic freedom, financial independence or ministry purposes. Some fade away and cease to release new music but others thrive in the indie scene. Now more than ever before, many former heavy hitters of major labels are taking the indie route and finding great success and wider ministry opportunities. Below I have listed 20 of my favorite artists that used to be signed to a major label who have chosen the independent route and are the better for it. 1. Audrey Assad There was never a chance that Audrey Assad was going to stay at Sparrow Records. Despite her massive critical acclaim and solid, steady record sales, Sparrow could not figure out how to get Audrey's songs on the radio; therefore, limiting her appeal and exposure. I...

Mercy Me's Best Albums and Singles

Image
With the recent release of Mercy Me’s new album, Lifer, I thought it was time to make my lists of the best Mercy Me albums and singles of all time! Do you agree or disagree? Sound off in the comments section below! Mercy Me Albums Ranked Best to Worst: 1. Coming Up to Breathe (2006) The first true artistic statement of Mercy Me’s career and where they jumped from being an AC-pop worship band to legitimate superstars. It was clear they worked very hard on their musicianship to make this album the triumph it was. 2. Welcome to the New (2014) There is a freedom and joy found on this album only rivaled by Lifer but the lyrics on Welcome just have a little more depth and potency and there are simply some classic songs on this record. 3. Lifer (2017) Time will tell whether Lifer rises or falls in this overall list but MM’s newest record is a testament of joy, growth and risk with only one traditional radio ballad (“Even If”) to be found on the 10-song...

Best Christian Albums of 2016

Best Christian Albums of 2016 1. Unspoken- Follow Through (Deluxe Edition) Best pop album I've heard in years! The Deluxe Edition is a MUST BUY! Spiritual, upbeat, vocally impressive, diverse, creative and relevant. I've just enjoyed this album so much.  iPod Picks: The Cure, Roots, Can't Deny Your Love, Higher, Follow Through, Life in the Death of Me 2. Meredith Andrews- Deeper Intimate, personal, anthemic, biblical. Meridityh has done it again. Not quite the triumph that was "Worth It All" (its a bit bloated with ballads toward the end) but still a truly phenomenal worship album. iPod Picks: Deeper, Sunrise, Soar, I Look to the King, Trusted 3. NEEDTOBREATHE- Hard Love NTB has so many truly classic albums that this middle-discography record can't help but feel like a disappointment, even if its one of the best albums of 2016. There are some classic NTB moments here but also some clumkers that fill out the record. I...
