Growing Up Listening to Worship Music (extended piece)

I grew up in a Christian  household. Every Sunday I would go to church and Sunday school, and in a large percentage of school holidays I would go to Christian camps from Skegness to Le Fenouiller in France. One of many parts of this was listening to worship music at Church, in the car and occasionally live at big Christian gatherings with thousands of people in a gazebo. Worship music is still a major sector of the music industry and if you also grew up listening to worship music you will know why. But if you didn't here are some of the biggest worship songs to date and what it was like growing up with them.

Jaden Smith - Icon

Image
Jaden Smith is labelled with the 'born into success' tag before he opens his mouth. But is this fair? Jaden earlier this year released his single Icon and it is a big statement to all his doubters. The video is simple but impactful. Jaden dancing in front of a sunset and a pricey car is nothing new, but his passion and anger spitting his lyrics is shown in the video. The simplicity works in the video with the message of the lyrics carrying the song not an extravagant video focused on the idea of an 'icon' which could have been Jaden's plan. He definitely is not a kid anymore. From a cheesy feature with Justin Bieber to a gold toothed rapper touring the world with J Cole. Jaden has also become known in the non-musical world, with his successful MSFTS clothing line which is also mentioned in the song, "MSFTS, just did, Nylon cover, five minutes" . The song does show the evolution of Jaden, mentioning his fame, heartbreak and media troubles ident...

The Legacy of Scott Hutchinson

Growing up is never easy. The difficulties for everyone differs, but everyone will have their own battles to face. Scott Hutchinson (lead singer and songwriter for the Indie Band Frightened Rabbit ) helped me to overcome certain difficulties, and even now having survived my teenage years I enjoy listening to Frightened Rabbit . I came across this band whilst listening to a podcast by fellow Scotsman Simon Neil (lead singer of  Biffy Clyro)  who claimed that Scott Hutchinson and his band were "ones to watch" and that the 'Modern Leper' (link below) was a "beautiful creation". Since his death (9th May 2018), artists around the world have worked on a re-make of Scott's greatest record ' The Midnight Organ Fight ', named ' Tiny Changes: A Celebration of Frightened Rabbit's 'T.M.O.F '. Whilst his fans have through social media started to support each other through difficult times, as Scott had intend from his unique song writing. F...

Drake - Summer Games

Image
Drake is by far the most renowned contemporary rapper around. In 2018 his latest album Scorpion  had many tracks that reached number 1: 'God's plan', 'Nice for what' and 'In My Feelings'. However, the record also has some hidden gems. 'Summer Games' shows Drake at his best and here is why ......   Immediately the song brings you into the emotion of the lyrics. A deep calm but yet fast beat entraps you. Drake often produces his own beats and is well known for helping other artists with their production. Drake discusses his fast relationship in the summer and how it was ruined by the contemporary social media age: 'you say I led you on, but you followed me, I follow one of your friends, you unfollow me'. Drake often purs his emotions out in a few tracks in his albums (from 'Marvins Room' to 'Too God'. Drake goes on to explain his anger of the ending of this relationship. With the lyrics turning to annoyance, 'Said y...
