The Museum

Hailing from the ATL, debut artist The Museum is the newest addition to BEC Recordings’ roster. The members of this pop/rock group began at their home church, where they continue to lead worship. As a band so entrenched in worship leading, it’s fitting that The Museum’s mission comes from a Hillsong lyric- “Let justice and praise become my embrace.” With this mission in mind, The Museum steps into the Christian music scene with its first major release, Let Love Win.
The Museum starts off strong with “Never Look Away,” a catchy, radio-ready song that should immediately grab listeners. Fast-paced “You Are Love” follows; worship leaders should take note of this song, as it would work perfectly in a congregational setting. “Let Love Win” and Psalm 121 inspired “My Help Comes From The Lord” follow suit- a catchy pop/rock tune and worship song, respectively.
The momentum drops off toward the second half of the album, which is mostly filled with mid-tempo songs and generic ballads. Although, there are a couple of standouts, namely “The Call,” an urgent plea for listeners to live out God’s will, and vertically-focused “Allelujah.”
While The Museum may have a few things to work on musically (which is likely to come with maturing), its messages are engaging. Hopefully, this will be enough to keep The Museum from getting lost in the oversaturated pop/rock genre.
