After building a dedicated following with three albums of Christian
hip-hop,
dc Talk make a play for crossover success with
Jesus Freak. As the title indicates, the group members haven't abandoned their religious base. What they have done is expand their musical palette. Retaining a solid
hip-hop foundation, the trio add elements of
soul,
psychedelic rock, and
pop, making
Jesus Freak their most ambitious album to date. It also happens to be their best.
dc Talk fuse their diverse influences together with style and grace, making the music sound seamless. The lyrics frequently avoid standard cliches, managing to celebrate Christianity without sounding preachy. With its musical diversity and well-crafted lyrics,
Jesus Freak is the album that will convince secular listeners that
dc Talk is worth a listen.
