Christian Pop

Description

Christian Pop is a genre of music that combines the catchy melodies and production of pop music with lyrics that focus on themes of faith, worship, and Christian teachings.

History

Christian Pop emerged as a distinct genre in the late 20th century, gaining popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. It evolved from the broader Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) movement, which sought to create modern music with Christian themes. Artists in this genre often aim to reach both religious and secular audiences, using mainstream pop sounds to convey spiritual messages.
