MUSICIANS...
I believe its totally Untrue and Erroneously misguiding (pardon me if these are wrong adjectives) to say that Church Music, Choir music or what is considered Gospel music is full of mediocrity. I listen to radio a lot recently and I can say that in terms of lyrics, content and production there are a million and ten Gospel sounds that will match and beat most of the stuff you get to hear on radio. I agree that not all Choirs are excellent I agree that not all Church music is up to the standard. I also agree that many "gospel" acts are not excellent at all. But its the same with all fields of life. You all find the good and the ugly. There are lots of junk and whack songs that's trending on radio and TV due to promotion and also because of many factors I won't mention today.
That being said, if all you see is bad music, mediocre choir, badly-written lyrics with no substance or substandard production then CHANGE YOUR COMPANY. If you are flying at Eagle levels you won't see the mess of the chickens. Excellence is what I strive at every day. I don't for one day assume I'm there. I keep pushing it. Gas pedal all day baby. We don't stop till the Master says Well done, Good and Faithful Servant.
So stop saying Gospel is whack. No its your circle that's whack. Change it. I have many great choirs I watch. I see artists drop dope songs always. Excellent producers are everywhere. I don't see mediocrity. All I see is excellence. I stay away from mediocrity with all my might. I am deliberate about who I roll with and what I feed myself on as a Musician.
Yeah there's still work to be done but its not that bad. Some people just don't have a taste for Gospel so they run it down.
Its happening. The video directors are arising. Gospel is getting bigger than just praise and Worship. The love songs are coming out. The songs that will change the world are coming out. Even our Praise and Worship music is going to a whole new dimension that will shock the world. The Hallelujah Challenge in June was just a trailer.
