Comment:

In the blink-or-you’ll-miss-it world of Contemporary Christian Music, stars are born when you least expect it, and sometimes they come from the last place you’d think to look/listen. But now you don’t have to predict the changing tides of Christian pop on your own — we’ve done it for you. From the inspirational pop-rock of former American Idol contestant Jason Castro (“You Are”) to the stadium-ready devotional power of Sanctus Real (“Lead Me”) and the natural song-craft of JJ Heller (“What Love Really Means”), these are the tracks that are finding new footholds in the CCM firmament. Take a voyage of discovery, and be careful to mark the moment you first encountered some of your favorite new Christian artists.
