There was a time when I used to listen to Contemporary Christian music. I often found the tunes catchy, and some of the singers were talented. I eventually got burnt out on the lack of substance in the contemporary Christian ‘message’. Now if I listen to Christian music, it is written by Bach or Handel. I am not surprised that these singers have turned out to be frauds.
Yeah - I hear you. After the ‘80’s I got so turned off by the formulaic proliferation - just get a cute face to sing about Jesus and all is good.
I’ve paid attention again in the past 5 years - my faith restored with groups like Casting Crowns, Mercy Me.
