dc Talk - 'Supernatural'
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!! Welcome to 2019.
To kick things off this year on ’33&1/3’ we dissect ‘Supernatural’. The 5th and final studio album from DC Talk released in 1998.
Having wowed the CCM industry (and regular radio stations) with their groundbreaking ‘Jesus Freak’ where could the dynamic trio go to next? Well the answer was simple. Create one of the most powerful eclectic Christian albums of our time.
‘Supernatural’ features Christian rock, alternative rock and a touch of funk but this swan song album by DC Talk is, at its core, a full on POP album with the trio's vocals powerfully interweaving to create a tapestry of sound showcasing a wide range of stylistic influences.
They adopt a very mainstream approach on this record but they do it so well it’s hard not to like it. DC Talk have always been unapologetic about their faith and never more so here but this time the presentation of it is somewhat more refined and subtle.
The trio possessed more of a collective vision than they ever did before and the 1998 album also appears to be deliberately egalitarian. . . you hear Michael, Kevin & Toby all sharing time on the lead mike. This album, in our opinion, combined all of the talent from all their previous albums into one. The most astonishing thing is that they don't sound like any other artist out there...Christian or secular.
Of course after everything else the big question is: Is it better than 'Jesus Freak'? If not, why not? If so, why and how?
Well to get the answers to those questions and to give your ears an otherworldly treat join Ben and Alex in this podcast for what promises to be an explosive opening to 2019.
