Hi,

Here is a quote: The whole concept of 'New Woke Deal' was becoming awake as a dedication now to being awake in the spirit.
Chris: The song was really a breakthrough song for you because it got picked up by DJ Target on BBC Radio 1 Extra and was nominated for a MOBO award as well.

Thanks :). God Bless :),

Hi All,
Here is an interesting article about Dr. Onionskin (aka Alfa One Seven).
www.indievisionmusic.com/articles/song-of-the-day/song-of-the-day-dr-onionskin-fjr/

Here is a quote:
Shane Ries, he had a brief career in the 80s in mod and power pop bands (a fact I only recently discovered), but first came into CCM prominence with the oddly effective project Hymn Jim’s Gospel Gems (1995), which fused traditional hymns with dance music. He re-branded a year later as Dr. Onionskin 

Thanks :). God Bless :).

Hi All,

Here is a good interview with Leper.

www.indievisionmusic.com/interviews/skot-shaw-of-leper/

Here is a quote from the article:
Skot: Yeah, I agree. I liked the older stuff. I liked Under Midnight. Mortal! I really freaked out over them. Deitiphobia.

IVM: Yeah, I loved that danceable style of industrial! November Commandment’s another great one.

Skot: Yeah. I didn’t get them at first. That was one that had to grow on me. They eventually became Sanctum, and that I just went nuts over! I played their records to death. I’ve seen them at Cornerstone both times they came. It was fantastic! The first set was just great. The second time it was odd because they had just the one vocalist, and a screen. Then they had a table with about four people, maybe eight people. And they all had a laptop in front of them, as though they were the ones generating the music. 

Thanks :). God Bless :).

Hi All, Here is a link to an article about NKay from Nigeria. https://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/music/NKay__The_popular_gospel_Afrobeat_singer_proclaiming_life_has_meaning/66869/p1/

Here is a quote:

"A friend of mine wanted to put together a mixtape of different artists and he sent me about seven beats and said write something and I wrote something on it. I didn't even take is seriously. There was a competition going on in Nigeria at the time with some popular gospel artists of the time. I had a friend who had a really amazing song and I sent him my friend's song and tagged mine on, which wasn't even complete, I hadn't finished up in the studio, but I put it on just so he could listed and let me know what he thought. It turned out that after they heard both tracks they got back to me and they were like 'yours is amazing'. It wasn't about me - it was about my friend's track. I went away all confused and literally, that's how it kicked off."

Thanks :), God Bless :),

Hi All,
Here is a good article about Goodboys from the UK http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/music/Goodboys__The_Hillsong_Church_UK_trio_with_the_Piece_Of_Your_Heart_mega_hit/66579/p1/

Here is a quote:
All three members of Goodboys worship at Hillsong Church, London and on the church website they explained how they sent demos of some songs to Meduza and, six months later, were told that the production team were flying over to London from Italy.
As Josh explained, "They said, 'Hey, we should hook up and write some songs together.' It was super random, but that's how it all began.

Thanks :). God Bless :).
