Hey readers! I know it's been a while since a cd review blog, but it's time to kick things into high gear!! Upon this return to cd reviews, I'd like to define for you how a cd review should be, Christian music or otherwise. Rather than a biased, opinionated and sometimes scathing rant, it's more of a breakdown of the message behind each song and a brief description of the sounds pleasing the ears during the listen. So, without further ado, we are introduced to new Essential Records artist, Royal Tailor!!!! Their full-length debut album, "Black & White" starts right out of the gate with the powerful anthem of redemption and new life paired with a great steady build of groove and each band member's instruments on the opening track "Death of Me." "Make a Move" is track 2, an upbeat pop rock jam about reaching out to a hurting world through love and letting our faith make a difference with our faith. Not to mention, they also made up a dance called the Uh-Oh, which is hard not to catch yourself singing after one listen of the song. "Freefall" is about taking that leap of faith and trusting God in the midst of fear and the challenges we face. "Control" is a song written clearly to call out and challenge those of us swallowed up by the pop music and pop culture of this generation and not take part in the "love game" and what the world calls love. With such well written lines using references of several well-known pop song lyrics, the chorus boldly sings "No, we won't let them take Control, we won't go with the flow, we've got to stand together!" It's all about fighting the good fight and a strong reminder that "greater is He that lives inside of me." The next song Gravity(Pulling Heaven Down) is about Jesus' coming to Earth to save us. It starts with a nice piano groove, and I must admit, when lead singer Tauren Wells' starts singing the first verse he sounds a lot like the King of Pop himself. After the last line of the song is sung in a big chorus, the song is seemingly over, but the piano plays softly and the band builds back in for a huge instrumental moment that captures the feeling behind the song well. Then, we come to "Hold Me Together", the first radio single from the guys. If you haven't heard it on the radio, you must check it out. It starts out with a cool acoustic groove and Tauren's stellar vocals. The song is about asking God to hold us together because we fall apart without His love. Our next track is called "Wannabe." This is one of the more electronic tracks on the record, and it's about not living for the world and that our identity is found in Christ, the One who set us free. The title track of the album starts out with piano and Tauren singing about life getting gray and wanting the truth in the middle of it. The band kicks in with a jazzy groove for the chorus and ultimately throughout the song the truth is Jesus. "Run to Love" is a mid-tempo rocker about running to the unconditional love of Jesus and forsake the secrets we hide. "Hope" is a great slow-groove about everyone's search for hope and something to hope in and finding it in Jesus. Last, but certainly not least, we come to the last track, "Love is Here." The song is written to Henry, but it can be applied to all because it's about mercy and love always being here all around us. All in all, I really look forward to seeing where God takes these 4 guys in their musical ministry. They have such a great upbeat sound and their lyrics are as strong as anything on the radio today. These guys are wise beyond their years in the message of their songs and I encourage you to check them out if you haven't heard them yet. Thanks for reading!! God bless and remember Jesus loves you!! Matthew 5:16

I first heard "Royal Tailor" at a "Casting Crowns" concert. I loved their music and quickly found their album. I love the words to their songs as well as the beat of the music and still trying to get my Granddaughter to listen to them. She will soon be 14 and saved at 9 and always listened to my Christian music.
I am sitting on my deck with my husband. We have been married 24 years and have three grown daughters. We decided about five years ago to foster children. Since we made this choice ... we have had about 17 children enter our home. I am listening to my husband singing your songs to one of our little one's and I thank God. For your abilty to write/sing and also that my husband connects and sings your music to our little ones. God created these children. He knows every day of their lives, every hair on their heads and every pain that is a part of their lives...and we know. Regardless of what is .. we serve a God that loves these little ones. I thank you as you have opened my husband's heart and he listens to your music and relates .. we are blessed, with what God has given us. And pray everyday that other Christians know just how great the need for foster parenting is .. these children, and their family at times need help. I just pray I lead life without judgement and know ... God holds our family. He knows every one of our names, even if they don't share the same last name. Love is an amazing thing. We know this, everyday. Thank you for everything you do. God bless from the Botermans.
Though I appreciate the talent of the guys in Royal Tailor, we should be cautious to endorse their message and ministry.
It's openly known that members of Royal Tailor attend The Pentecostals at Royalwood, a church associated with the United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI). On their website you'll see Tauren Wells listed as part of the volunteer staff.
http://www.royalwood.cc/#/general-info/volunteer-staff
The UPCI is a Oneness Pentecostal denomination that holds to the heresy of modalism and openly denies the essential doctrine of the Trinity. For more on modalism, http://theresurgence.com/2010/06/22/sabellius-know-your-heretics
According to their Wikipedia page, members of Royal Tailor met while attending Indiana Bible College (IBC). IBC is a college associated with the UPCI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Tailor
Though it is never good to divide over non-essentials, the doctrine of the Trinity is absolutely an essential doctrine, one worth dividing over. It's important to remember Paul's call for elders,
"He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it." Titus 9 (ESV)
Royal Tailor might make good music, but we need to guard ourselves against heretical doctrines. If we don't have the Trinity, we don't have Christianity.
