It typically features contemporary musical styles, including pop, rock, and folk influences, and is designed to be sung by congregations during church services.
History
Praise & Worship music evolved from traditional hymns and gospel music, gaining prominence in the late 20th century as churches sought more contemporary forms of worship. This genre became particularly popular with the rise of charismatic and evangelical movements, which emphasized personal and communal expressions of faith through music.
