Marc Martel (Downhere) – o voce de aur

Una dintre formaţiile mele favorite din CCM este Downhere. Muzica lor are de toate, începând cu calitatea textelor.
Componenţa actuală a formaţiei este:
Marc Martel – vocal, chitară 
Jason Germain – vocal, chitară, pian 
Glenn Lavender – bas 
Jeremy Thiessen – tobe
Unul dintre lucrurile pe care Downhere le are din plin este calitatea interpretării vocale. Două voci deosebite contribuie la aceasta: Marc Martel şi Jason Germain.
Până recent s-a ştiut mai puţin faptul că Marc Martel are un dar deosbit: poate interpreta piese "imitând" vocea unor artişti celebri. Iată-l interpretând Asleep in the Light, o melodie de referinţă a lui Keith Green.


(Vezi şi So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt.)

E uimitoare asemănarea vocii sale cu vocea lui Freddy Mercury (Queen).


(Vezi şi Bohemian Rhapsody.)

Dar vocea lui Marc Martel acoperă şi o altă zonă muzicală: opera. În videoclipul următor Marc Martel interpretează Nessun Dorma, imitând vocea lui Luciano Pavarotti, nu înainte de a povesti cum şi de ce a ajuns să imite voci celebre.

MercyMe - The Generous Mr. Lovewell


Who is Mr. Lovewell? (Love well)
He’s an idea.
He’s a movement.
He’s the hope that the little things can add up to a big change.
He’s what the Bible has already called us to do: love one another.
Look for the best in people.
Give people a chance regardless of status, race or gender.
Mr. Lovewell is the understanding that the gospel is for everyone.
Some may receive it, some may reject it, but, from where we’re standing, all that should matter is that the Gospel applies to us all.
Who are we to demand the outcome before we decide to contribute?

NeedToBreathe are gearing up for the release of their new album The Reckoning, out September 20th on Atlantic Records!
After two years of non-stop touring, NeedToBreathe has poured their full efforts into creating The Reckoning – an album centered on the songwriting talents of Bear and Bo Rinehart. Inspired by the dynamic they had developed on the road, the band was determined to capture their on-stage energy and exhilarating live performances, along with their experimental recording ideas.
“We wanted to make a record where we pretty much tried everything. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to create something that would define us.

"We've put our hearts and souls into this record, along with a lot of blood, sweat and tears," said the band via a post on their website announcing the album. "We believe it's the strongest collection of songs we've ever created."
