Glory to our King! For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulders.  And He will be called Wonderful, Counselor,  The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

We are blessed to have this written on our hearts and, because of this, we live in a state of joy that everyone experiences during Christmas time.  During this Christmas we would like to  share a Christmas message from one of our top  Christian musicians of 2011, Odd Thomas.

May the Prince of  Peace fill your heart with unspeakable joy.

Thank you for being part of the One21music community.  We look forward to a wonderful bounty of great music in 2012.

Hardcore worship. Joy and movement. Declaration and power.

All fear, all pain, all hurt, all grief, all lies, must bow to Jesus’ name
All kings, all thrones, everything that breathes life, must bow to Jesus’ name
The earth, the sea, the sun, the stars, the sky, must bow to Jesus’ name

Kings, crowns, thrones,
BOW DOWN
Fall face down
BOW DOWN
Kiss the ground
BOW DOWN
Jesus, you hold the crown
BOW DOWN

Last week we posted all the Christmas releases for 2011 (that we knew of), and as it turns out my favorite album is also free.

Timbre is an amazing music artist who has been wowing audiences for years now. Although she is mainly know for being a harpist, she has an incredible singing voice and has decided to lend all of her talents to some sacred Christmas music. The album is simply beautiful, and would be welcome addition to your Christmas music collection. Personally, I have never heard such a haunting and moving version of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” in my life.

Listen and download below.

Simply said, JGivens is gifted.

He is a fresh face among alot of mundane, over-produced artists who are more concerned with “swagger” more than spirit. He is the perfect balance of intelligent lyrics mixed with engaging style. He is a mix between Shad, Propaganda, and Pigeon John, and then something completely on his own.

Hey Humble Beast, pay attention this guy!

check out his video for one of the songs off the album, “Free”

Listen, download and enjoy

For the last year or so P.O.D., has been playing a new song called “On Fire” and now it appears that they have decided to make a sort of “in house” music video for it (it was shot and edited by drummer Wuv). Enjoy!

Here is the first video from Come&Live! metal band Fallstar for their song “Horse Without A Rider”.

If you dont think this music video is awesome (especially after the 1:20 mark), then we cannot be friends. The short and killer music video for “LifeWar” by Demon Hunter.

One part tour video, one part music video, her is the latest from pop-rock band Blood & Water with their song “Traffic”.
