As a parent of two pre-school children, I notice how some children's clothes are small-scale versions of adult clothes. Sometimes they're cute, sometimes they're inappropriate, other times it's worse than that. This is the CCM equivalent. If it were British you'd be saying, come back S Club Juniors, all is forgiven. The youngsters are tuneful but singing Steven Curtis Chapman, Switchfoot, TobyMac et al to a largely programmed backing track is plain unsuitable. This is all the evidence anyone needs of the spiritual degeneration from the Jesus Movement to the CCM industry. There are many preferable positive alternatives in Christian children's music from Vineyard UK's Great Big God to stalwarts like Doug Horley. But this release is a marketing man's dream and an artistic travesty.
