Hulvey
Prelude
Reach Records
Drawing inspiration from Reach Records artists Lecrae and Andy Mineo, Hulvey is coming hot, as his fellow artists might say. The only problem with “Prelude” is that it’s too short. The five-song EP is a put-it-on-repeat collection of great beats and godly rhymes. The last track, “Ready or Not,” will have you bobbing your head. If Christian hip-hop is having the moment USA Today says it is, then Hulvey is about to join it.
Anna Benton
Seasons
Independent
Three years ago, south Georgia worship leader Anna Benton pushed pause on recording her debut album — becoming a foster parent has a way of reprioritizing things. But it apparently also has a way of fueling great original songwriting. It only takes a few seconds to tell that “Seasons” is special. The trumpets are a dead giveaway. The opening title-track on the four-song EP quickly goes kind of country, in a good way, but those trumpets just keep tracing arcs through the melody — it’s just different. It’s good. It’s fun. It’s worshipful.
