This year has been slim pickings for new Church Choir
material if you are only relying on mainstream radio for your source of
information. Thank God for social media
sites e.g., SoundCloud, Spotify, Pandora, iTunes, and YouTube. SoundCloud, Spotify, and YouTube have been my
mainstay for great music! Thank you to
all songwriters who compose music for the “Church Choir.” The songs you pen are
the true heart of music ministry. Never
doubt your relevance or works for the Kingdom.
You are awesome vessels and I am honored to call you co-laborers.
And speaking of great Church Choir music, the Allstate
Gospel SuperFest provided a wonderful platform for the awesome music ministries
of some of Chicago’s best choirs. Chicago
was well represented by: Dexter Walker & Zion Movement, and Joshua’s Troop (for the “New
School” Gospel crowd) Chicago Mass Choir and Bishop Larry Trotter & Sweet
Holy Spirit Mass Choir (for the Traditional/”Old School” Gospel crowd), and
Ricky Dillard & New G and Lonnie Hunter & The Voices of St. Mark (for
the Contemporary Gospel Crowd). If you are looking for great “Church
Choir” Gospel music from this century, feel free to check out my SoundCloud “Sonja’s
Gospel Station” https://soundcloud.com/sonja-g-whitmore/sets/sonjas-gospel-station!
