ARE GOSPEL REGGAE ARTISTS SOUNDING TOO SECULAR


For years there has been a debate over whether or not these nowadays gospel artists are sounding too much like secular ones. For some reason, this debate has intensified recently as Bonitto Hassock releases a Dennis Brown cover track, “without your love”, and Ryan Mark locks his hair.

Some persons within the gospel community are of the belief that what today’s gospel artists do and how they do it is irrelevant as long as they win souls for Christ. While others think that it is imperative that they uphold the tradition, sound and style laid out by gospel artists of yesterday.

In speaking with Bonitto Hassock, he said he enjoys redoing older songs whether they are lover’s rock or soul music. And regardless what the public has to say he plans on releasing more cover tracks. That being said, he was very clear about his love for Christ and his desire to sing gospel, he just does not plan to limit himself.
