It's here! Wake up everybody, wipe the drool from your face and clean up because you're in the "crib" now. This is the official opening of Motown Music Crib. I'm indeed ecstatic about this because I've been praying and asking for direction on how I can blend Gospel and R&B music onto one site. It's kinda hard to do because it may be frowned upon that Gospel has to be in a class by itself and cannot be mixed with secular music. Well...I'm known (at least to myself) for breaking boundaries.
Who says that Gospel is confined? Nowadays, Gospel is made to sound more secular, beats and all. Why? The world is looking for that "comparison." They are looking for something to stick to them. Christians are looking to explore secular beats and lyrics while staying with the margins of praise and worship to God. That's what I bring forward to MMC.
For R&B lovers, you can find Gospel being just the same tunes and beats as what you regularly listen to. Gospel can be giving reverence to God, the Saviour and author of salvation. So mixing the two will get the best of both worlds, making the music industry just a bit smaller and more "intimate." After all, there's peace and smooth ambience in the house. In what house?? Hmmm... it's none other than Motown Music Crib. This post contains a collaboration of years of Detroit/ Motown music, both Gospel and R&B, as well as some newcomers outside of Detroit. Whether in Detroit or overseas, you're always welcome in the "crib."
