Several times this week I’ve seen a press release reprinted on several websites, (a release which originally I read on a newswire but ignored), about a new Christian album that claims to, and I quote, “Change the Shape of Christian Music.”
I’ve heard some broad claims before, but that’s a tall order. So I decided to check it out and see what it was all about.
Well, turns out it’s just a cleverly written press release touting a project that can’t possibly live up to its claims.

The project is He Is Here, by artist Rosalina Vega, and while it is a lovely project it’s certainly not groundbreaking. Vega has a lovely voice, she’s accompanied by piano, and there’s nothing wrong with the album, but the songs are the same kind of songs Christian singers have been singing for centuries. Very nice, but certainly not changing the shape of anything.
So while the marketing ploy worked – I went to the site and listened – the album certainly didn’t live up to the hype.
But hey, what do I know? Head over to Rosalina Vega’s website and listen to the album and let me me know what you think.
He Is Here releases August 15.
