Chick Rock Is So In

Chick Rock is so in. It's obvious that Christian music is embracing the power of a girl with a band with new releases from Superchick, new Fervent Records band Inhabited (releasing July 12) and highly anticipated new releases this fall from Barlowgirl and Plumb. Now, if we could only talk Adrienne Liesching, formally of the band Benjamin Gate and currently enjoying motherhood with husband Jeremy Camp, to make a solo album, we'd be sittin' good.
Another artist looking to put the smack down on the male dominated genre is Krystal Meyers, whose debut album released June 7, 2005. It kicks off with the lead radio single, "The Way To Begin" which has lived at #1 for the past five weeks, and doesn't slow down. Throughout the album, the production is solid, the music takes unexpected turns that keep your attention and it sounds instantly familiar thanks to the same production team that brought commercial success to mainstream counterpart Avril Lavigne.
Some say that's a bad thing, frustrated with the constant comparisons made between Christian and mainstream artists, but we can talk more about that later. For now, trust me when I say that this is promising to be one of the best releases this summer.
For now through next Monday, NRT is giving our subscribers an exclusive opportunity to preview five full length songs from the album so you make up your own mind! I invite you all to take a couple minutes and enjoy this music. Click here to subscribe or confirm your subscription to NRT and get ready for some great music.
