Billboard Brasil

Foi lançada a versão brasileira da revista norte-americana Billboard, a Billboard Brasil. Considerada a “Bíblia da Música”, a publicação é o lançamento do ano e deverá revolucionar o mercado musical brasileiro trazendo, principalmente, a versão nacional de suas famosas paradas. Com quase 116 anos, a publicação determina tendências mundiais desde o começo do século passado e assumirá este papel também no Brasil. Mensal, seu conteúdo é formado por diversas sessões com lançamentos, entrevistas, artigos de especialistas, últimas novidades, além de conteúdo da versão americana e as paradas.

Hoje a Billboard está em três países. Além dos EUA, onde foi criada em 1894 com temas diversificados, a publicação existe na Rússia e na Turquia, sendo a mais antiga do mundo. No Brasil, terá 40 mil exemplares e será distribuída nacionalmente. A primeira parada musical data de 1936, mas somente em 1950 a revista assumiu exclusivamente o conteúdo que tem até hoje, a indústria da música. Entre as mais famosas está o “Hot 100” e o “The Billboard 200”, que serão publicadas no Brasil juntamente com as paradas nacionais.

Muito bom termos no Brasil uma revista, que deixa todo mundo informado sobre os acontecimentos da música brasileira. A Billboard chegou com certeza pra revolucionar as revistas que abordam música no Brasil. Se a "MAG" seguir os padrões da versão americana, ficará bacana, abordando todos os tipos de música, inclusive a música gospel. Esperamos que não haja "discriminação" na divulgação do ranking das músicas cristãs brasileiras. Faltava uma revista assim no país pra que a galera que segue música ficar bem informado sobre os sucessos e os fracassos da música nacional.

Release "ANTHEM" New Album of R-Swift

What comes to mind when the word Anthem is used? For many it is a word that communicates an expression of loyalty to something through song, e.g. a country, school, or organization.

Some would be surprised to know that the word "anthem" is also defined as "A body of sacred music, usually using the Scriptures". In this sense “Anthem” both titles and best describes R-Swifts highly anticipated follow up to his sophomore release SoapBox.

In Anthem R-Swift expresses the Lord's worldview in contrast to the world's worldview. As a bible study teacher on a college campus, R-Swift often encounters those driven by the prospect of worldly achievement and materialistic accolades. In an environment where pressure to perform and stress about the uncertainties of the future can easily overwhelm, communicating the truth and sanctity of God’s word and worldview is imperative. God’s Word should dictate a believer's view with regard to all of life’s concerns…family, poverty, crime, economy, and government to name a few; as well as expose sin where it may not be conspicuous, for instance where underlying pride, arrogance, hatred for God, selfishness are our hidden motivations.

R-Swift delivers these truths in an amazing assortment of Christian Hip-Hop bangers that will move and convict any crowd. Songs like Awesome God, an ode and tribute to the classic of the same title that boasts of the glory of God through the ages and compels the believer to acknowledge and treasure His beautiful attributes in worship. Shattered tells the timeless story of unrequited love from the viewpoint of an alcoholic woman, a narcissistic man, and an all knowing God who would lovingly sacrifice His only Son to redeem the world anyway.

R-Swift once again uniquely conveys a timely message in a way that will convict and challenge believers and non-believers alike to sing and to live His Anthem.

Tour joined by MIKESCHAIR, After Edmund, Tedashii and Sho Baraka

Following a successful run of the “Don’t Waste Your Life” summer tour, Reach Records recording artist Lecrae presents a mix of Christian Rock and Rap music this fall on the “Altered Minds Tour.” Launching on October 1, the tour will travel to 26 cities along with Christian Rock bands MIKESCHAIR and After Edmund as well as Lecrae’s labelmates Sho Baraka and Tedashii, who will join the tour in October and November, respectively.

Returning from Sydney, Australia’s largest Christian Event, Big Exo Day, it’s been a busy time for Lecrae since releasing 'Rebel,' the highest debuting Christian Rap album on Billboard charts. Collaborating for the first time with MIKESCHAIR and After Edmund, the tour was birthed out of the desire to represent unity within the Body of Christ. Representing four varying styles of music from two genres and an array of cultures, the “Altered Minds Tour” will come together like never before to platform music with solid ministry infused throughout each night.

Maintaining his role as President of Reach Records and ReachLife Ministries, Lecrae’s extensive traveling schedule remains committed to spreading the Gospel by sharing his Christ-centered, transparent experiences, messages and music. The Dove Award nominated artist released his junior album titled 'Rebel' last year and continues to appear on music charts.

With roots in Houston, TX, Tedashii brings a distinct flavor to the industry. Appearing on the “Altered Minds Tour" in October only, Tedashii’s sophomore album, 'Identity Crisis,' peaked to the #2 position on the Billboard Top Gospel Charts. The album offers up a satisfying slab mixtape-style hip-hop featuring heavy-hitting club fare that, even while resembling more secular material, contains a powerful, spiritual message that is undoubtedly worship-oriented.

Canadian-bred Sho Baraka was introduced to hip hop at a young age. Living in Southern California during the height of gangsta rap presented its challenges to many youth, as well as Sho. Since collaborating in music ministry since college with Lecrae, Sho Baraka has since released his debut album 'Turn My Life Up' which explores what it means reflect who we are as believers in a culture that needs the Lord. Appearing on the “Altered Minds Tour" in November only, Sho Baraka is set for his sophomore release of Lions and Liars in 2010, stay tuned to www.myspace.com/shobaraka for more information

FLG "Deus Espera Mais"

Espetacular! Essa é a definição para o novo álbum do Quarteto FLG. "Deus Espera Mais", é um CD que surpreendeu todas as minhas expectativas, e com certeza de toda a galera que curte o "Feeling". O quarteto lança um álbum "Bombástica", co músicas que nos leva a refletir sobre o Amor de Deus, e que nos alerta para que possamos fugir das armadilhas do diabo, e venhamos ter um verdadeiro compromisso com Deus. Hoje comparo o FLG, com os melhores grupos de R&B dos Estadous Unidos como: Group1Crew, The Washington Projects, Canton Jones, Tonéx, entre outros. A Black Music brasileira está muito bem representada pelo Feeling! A Banda tem a chamada 'pegada", que muitos grupos não tem , e os caras demonstram emoção na música que cantam, um elemento que está sendo extinto principalmente na música gospel. A cada CD o FLG se supera, e que continuem assim representando a "Música Preta Brasileira", seja no meio cristão ou no secular. Ouça Algumas música do Quarteto FLG no www.myspace.com/quartetoflg

Translation

Spectacular! This is the definition for the new album of the Quartet FLG. "God Expect More" is a CD that surprised all my expectations, and certainly all the people that enjoy the "Feeling". The quartet released an album "bombastic", with music that makes us reflect on God's love, and warns us that we may escape the snares of the devil, and we get a true commitment to God. Today I compare the FLG, with the best groups of the R & B Estadous States as Group1Crew, The Washington Projects, Canton Jones, Tonex, among others. The Black Music Brazil is well represented by the Feeling! The band is called 'footprint' that many groups do not have, and the guys show emotion in the music they sing, an element that is being phased out mainly in gospel music. With each album, the FLG is overcome, and that that will continue representing the "Black Music of Brazil" is in the Christian or secular.
