Evening Standard newspaper focus on Christian music
IN AN EXTENDED article in their 5th June issue, London's Evening
Standard newspaper wrote about Christian music, homing in on Delirious?. Writer Tim
Cooper spelled out the prejudice in the mainstream, "It's alright for
Lauryn Hill to read a Psalm at the Grammy Awards, Bob Marley to praise
Jah, and the scantily clad babes of Destiny's Child to thank God at
every opportunity. But Heaven forbid if Geri Halliwell should stand up
at the Brits and declare herself a born again Christian. Yet in the
face of such prejudice, Delirious? have quietly notched up well over
a million record sales even though you - unless you too have been Born
Again - have probably never heard of them."
