The Royal Royal 'The Royalty' Album Review
Dynamic brother duo, The Royal Royal is set to release their first full length album, The Royalty. These brothers strive to bring the love and grace of God to a new generation with their fresh and passionate approach to praise and worship music. The Royal Royal has already made waves with their music hitting #1 on iTunes Christian U.S. and Canada charts with their single, "Praise Him." They have created an awesome fan base after touring with other popular worship bands among many being "Hillsong United." This duo isalready well on their way to bringing the blessings God has given them to the world.
Their first single "Praise Him" is one of the most infectious songs on the album. It really softens the heart and prepares the mind for uninhibited praise. This song will get you moving along with the upbeat contemporary sound. It's easy to see how this song became such a hit on iTunes.
"Heartbeats" is one of the more upbeat songs off of the album. "Heartbeats" show off an alternative style and represent a life that once lived in sin now lives again through Jesus Christ. "With You I am alive," is chanted throughout the song allowing the track to have a very catchy feel.
"October" has the most original sound musically and vocally from this album. The guitar's distortion flows so well with the vocals and brings forth a raw feeling that songs need in order to keep the listener convinced that you are passionate about what you're singing. The lyrics are simple yet convey a powerful message of healing.
