for King & Country-They Are Changing The Game

If you haven’t yet listened to a for King & Country song you are doing yourself a huge injustice. There is finally a KLOVE artist that doesn’t sound like the rest! If you’re looking for some pop/rock encouraging music that makes you want to dance, reflect on life, or just be background music while you do homework, their new CD Run Wild. Live Free. Love Strong is what you need!

Back in 2012 for King & Country (composed of brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone) took the Christian music scene by storm with their CD Crave, which holds their notable single “The Proof of Your Love”. They introduced us to a whole new sound in Christian music. Between their heavy ballads, harmonization, and very present drumming, their music brings something very new to the table that we’ve been waiting for.  Fast forward to 2014, after a successful launch of their career, this fall they released Run Wild. Live Free. Love Strong.

After listening to this CD nonstop for the past few days I can say I am profoundly impacted by the stories, themes, and overall artistic sound that these two men share through their music.

The first track, “Run Wild” featuring one of our favorite Battle Cry rappers, Andy Mineo, inspires us listeners to remember that we were made to love strong. One of my favorites is “No Turning Back”, one of the slower songs on the cd that was inspired by a missionary family from the 1880’s that was persecuted because of their faith in Jesus. It is a reminder to us listeners that following Christ means taking up His cross and not turning back.

“Fix My Eyes”, this summer’s single is an obvious fun song that also sends a powerful message to us to always “fix our eyes” on Jesus. “To the Dreamers” and “It’s Not Over Yet” were inspiring songs that are instant encouragements!

The last track is “Oh God Forgive Us”, which is the benediction. I personally believe it is one of the most powerful songs of the whole CD. The song is a cry from us to God to forgive us for our uncertainty.

This fourteen track CD is on fire! From the beginning to the end you will be on your feet dancing, praising God, and having a blast. Go get it now with no hesitation!

You can listen on Spotify or buy where music is sold. 

 

Also they have a FREE concert coming up in New Jersey in November!

Enjoy,
