Alleluia, Sing
About
From Church Music magazine 'While not technically the opening track, Alleluia, Sing is intended to feel like the actual beginning of the record. (Strictly speaking, Phos Hilaron is the opening of the record, hence it being track #1, but the argument could be made that it actually better serves as the intro to the record, and does more to set the mood, tone, and perhaps even philosophical underpinnings of what is to follow, rather than exist as a stand-alone song. Again, though, that is just a theory – one that could be disposed of with the simple notion that it is, in fact, track #1, and that Alleluia, Sing exists as track #2.) The song creeps in with the melody in the strings and quickly gives way to the driving forward motion of the drums. In many ways this is classic Crowder Band, but the real, and first, indicator that the album is going to take a left turn is in the bridge, where the pulsating synth bed serves as a sign post saying, “there are going to be musical elements present which are extremely familiar to listeners accustomed to the sounds of the current landscape of popular music.”' |
