Christian

Christian music began in the 20th century, sprouting from the American gospel and folk traditions, with the cheeky notion that you can sing about your faith whilst simultaneously enjoying a catchy tune. It often features uplifting lyrics, melodrama, and a tendency to sound like the soundtrack to your slightly overzealous family reunion. The genre has a knack for birthing chart-toppers that even the most indifferent of listeners might hum along to if they think no one is watching.
