As I sit and contemplate what's going on in the music industry, it makes me think about what people look for. What makes great gospel music?Is it what's new and fresh or is it about the anointing? Or Both? If it is about the anointing on a song/psalmist, then why is it so hard for good anointed music to reach airplay?
Most people I'm sure would say it is the anointing- the Power of God that makes gospel music great. It's what separates most secular artists from gospel artists. Even they would have to admit that when you're listening to gospel music it makes you feel good. But so many gospel artists are consumed with a sound as opposed to the message. Anybody that knows anything about music knows that the message will eventually supercede the melody... So have today's gospel artists forgotten that?
