Spotlight :: The Vessel :: Praise On

Hey what up world it's you man DJ Sizzle and I want spot light an artist that goes by the name The Vessel. You can find The Vessel's music on I-Tunes or check out his myspace. After hearing The Vessel's new single Praise On, I'm looking forward to rest of the album. Praise On brings a refreshing change to today's christian music scene. What I mean by this is that lately I've been hearing a lot of crunk, chopped and screwed, and house tracks. Praise On is an up beat dance track that you can actually dance to. I pretty much get down with all kinds of music as long as it carries the message of Christ but I like this song because although I'm saved I'm a dancer at heart and this track really brings it out. That being said naturally what caught my ear was the beat. The track features deep kicks laced with that old school laser effect and light snares. Not cluttered with a large amount of sounds crazy effects or vocorder auto tuned voices, the elements of the track really mesh together well. Though the track may barrow some vintage sounds from the late 80's The Vessel approaches it with a style of flow that allows this song to bypass the in and out trends of hip-hop music and be play anywhere with a dance floor. Praise On takes me back to when it was all about the music, the dance and good times with friends and fam. Needless to say THIS IS A PARTY TRACK! But more than just a hot beat The Vessel gets at us with an unapologetic message of our freedom to render praise to the Lord no matter the setting or situation. The Vessel speaks on a variety of topics, like what some call the recession. The Vessel reminds us that we have an unfailing God who supplies all are needs. He also touches on the changes we make during the process of sanctification such as the people we choose to run with but further more he explains how choosing to follow Christ doesn't always mean changing what you do but rather why you do it. Which coincides with why he chose to use a dance track. I'm just throwing this out there but some people think Christians can't or shouldn't dance but that's a whole discussion in itself. The Vessel points out the many thing we as a culture and people praise that isn't worthy ie; cars, synthetic feel good, popularity. He speaks on how because of faith, believer's value spiritual things rather than earthly because while the things of the earth fade and come to nothing things of the spirit manifest themselves in the earth they also carry over with us when we leave the earth. The Vessel isn't a single cut artist I tool a look at some of his work and dude is pretty deep, don't be fooled, Vessel's talent is diverse, relative and hits home with people in going through or coming out of real serious times in their lives. Well to close I'll say this some may see Praise On as a song of The Vessel's personal declaration I think I'll call it a timeless anthem with a message of encouragement to as the tittle says and get your praise on.





The Vessel's single Praise On is defiantly a good look it gets a 4 out of five hipe hope headphones for spiritual content,strong presence & delivery,and a great production concept.
