Introduction: The intro gives a compelling upbeat of why the listener should listen to the message of the song. Titled song ‘LOVE’, briefly gives you an idea of the tune being about God’s love and how no other love compares to it.

Melody & Rhythm: The melody and rhythm are of a speedy paced nature and the instruments that are apart of the melody beautifully combines together.

Vocals: The singer’s vocals are smooth and powerful at the same time.

Instrumental & Digital Effects: The drums stand out in the background and enhances the song’s sound.

Structure of the Song: I think that the song was organized very well and neat. The track has been recorded with order and flows smoothly throughout the entire song.

Performance & Song Potential: I believe that the overall song is excellent and has been written, sung and recorded professionally. Love has the potential to reach a larger audience and to hit the top of the music charts.

There are a variety of gospel music styles. Styles like traditional, hip hop, dance – hall, reggae, jazz, country, R & B and more. The spiritual tunes leave you with many songs to choose from.  Gospel music has a great impact in the lives of people. It brings encouragement to many and ministers to them.

While taking a music class a few years ago, I learned that some of the hymns were used as codes by slaves. Gospel music continues to grow as new artists are rising bringing their gift to the stage. The lyrics in any genre play an important part in music. Uplifting music which many gospel songs are, can help a person on a bad day or in whatever they are going through.

Gospel music is about spreading the good news of Jesus Christ through music. This form of music is not only played in church and in people’s personal lives, but sometimes is played out in the community. Everyone has their preferences when it comes to music. Some don’t like some of the newer gospel music, but there are many who do. The growth of Gospel music is growing rapidly with new music coming out from generation to generation.

Does gospel music play an importance in your life? Why does this music play an importance in your life? How have you seen gospel music grow from when you first heard it up to now? What do you appreciate about spiritual music?
