NewWorldSon

with Joel Parisien

Fri, 1 Apr 2011

One of the questions the team at Behind The Music is often asked is whether 'so and so' is a Christian song or a Christian band.
Well, since Christian music has many different styles - rock, pop, country, rap, metal, inspirational, praise and worship, reggae, blues, Celtic, and so on - many suggest that Christian music is a genre defined by its lyrics.
But is it this that makes music Christian? And do a person's beliefs come into play in the equation?
NewWorldSon is a Canadian band that's embraced by both mainstream and religious audiences.
Playing 'both worlds' provides frontman Joel Parisien with a rare opportunity to remove what he calls the 'artificial lines between Christian and mainstream music', and focus on 'spiritual content' and 'divine inspiration'.
