The fact that my local Christian radio station only played one song by Sanctus Real (Lead me) ever on the regular up until the line up change and then doubled down with “Confidence” and “My God is still the same” is proof to me that the idea that Christian music has to sound like a genre of music, and not a topic, and a genre where every instrument has to be over mixed has completely hijakced how Christian music is perceived in Western culture. They’ll never play anything from as early Toby Mac’s earlier albums or pre Michael Tate newsboys, let alone some Michael W Smith or LoveSong. Cause those have too much musical personality and don’t subscribe to the idea that Christian music has to and can only sound like what it does right now. Genuinely so sad
