Understanding "Love" in the English Lyrics of the Original Songs by the Multilingual New Creation Church Singapore
This article explores the way in which love is understood and expressed through the original English lyrics of songs by New Creation Church Singapore (NCC) in comparison to the original songs from Hillsong Church Australia (Hillsong) through the period of 2014-2020.

Evaluating the feasibility of implementing a prescription drug misuse prevention intervention in the community

This Is No Performance
Performing" and "performance" are potentially contentious words within the context of contemporary Christian worship. However, performative elements are explicit in the lyrics of contemporary congregational songs (CCS), and in video recordings of CCS, through the actions of those on stage and in the congregation, as well as in the broader context of staging, lighting, projection, production, and video editing. However, to date, there is only a ha…
How YouTube Mediations of Global Contemporary Congregational Songs Contribute to an Understanding of the Genre
Contemporary congregational songs ( ccs ) are a global genre of Christian worship, driven presently from Western production centres. Streaming media platforms, in particular YouTube, have become essential vehicles for disseminating these songs globally, as well as a way for fans to contribute to the popularity of songs through views, likes, comments, sharing, and uploading their own fan-created videos. While this activity has had some scholarly a…
A "Sloppy Wet Kiss"? Intralingual Translation and Meaning-Making in Contemporary Congregational Songs
Translation as a form of music localization does not only occur in diverse cultural or lingual contexts, it also occurs within an ostensibly homogenous culture and language. The global genre of contemporary congregational songs (CCS) is written and performed through a variety of theological lenses. Sometimes a theological position conveyed in, or ascribed to, CCS can be problematic for certain local expressions of the Christian faith to replicate…
Star Wars Soundtracks
Music and religion have a long and constitutive history. When considering the potential religious dimensions of the Star Wars universe, musical elements should not be ignored. This article explores the iconic musical scores of John Williams for the Star Wars franchise as a form of worship music. Worship music, especially in Western contemporary Christian contexts, is employed for embodied expression, emotional experience, and spiritual encounter.…
Opioid overdose knowledge among college students in a high overdose death state
University students' knowledge suggests that previous exposure to opioid prescriptions and naloxone training increase a student's knowledge about opioid overdose. This information is not surprising; however, this does make the case that students may benefit from brief overdose education programs that could be implemented across university health education curricula. However, a larger effort may need to be implemented to encourage students to part…
On Hillsong’s continued reign over the Australian contemporary congregational song genre
Australia’s popular music charts are not dominated by Australian music. However, in the popular music subgenre, contemporary congregational songs, a single Australian producer has a disproportionately high chart presence compared to international producers: Hillsong Music. This article offers an exploration of and explanation for this anomaly. It examines the extra musical and musical/lyrical components contributing to Hillsong Music’s dominance …
