Music Brief: Shachah, "Let the Light in"



Psalms says to "make a joyful noise unto the Lord," but it essentially gives us carte blanche on the "how" of it. Thankfully, there are many flavors of praise music for our many moods and needs.

Shachah, “four dudes from So.Cal,” defies staying in one lane on their latest, "Let the Light in." Rock, pop, and reggae (with Jahaziel dropping in on ragga toasting duties) moments are all present. The group hit my ears lovely with the collabo they did with John Wells (aka The Tonic), "Deliver Us," a rousing rap-rock hybrid. Hip-hop shows up elsewhere, thanks to Brenden Mcpeek from the group, as well as The Tonic and Phanatik.

Shachah is Hebrew for "worship," and the guys definitely bring the noise. If you want to diversify your praise experience, this album will do nicely.

My Top Tracks:

  • None Foresaken: Jammin' reminder of God's promises.
  • Deliver Us: No more entertainment bottom-feeding.
  • Lord Speak: A servant standing with hope.
  • The Harvest: Lyrics of fury, hype track
  • Revive Me: Roots vibe and staccato flow.
