The [M]useum’s Never Look Away is a worthy follow-up to its chart-topping single, My Help Comes From the Lord. Taken from The Museum’s debut BEC CD, Let Love Win, Never Look Away is an encouraging song that sings about how God is always there in times of difficulty.

Contemporary Christian pop-rock group Echoing Angels’ Say What You Believe is a decidedly harder-edged single that dissociates the band from its brilliant yet somewhat generic 2009 Top 10 hit, You Alone. The eOne artists – they used to be on INO/Columbia, but I guess they must’ve left or were dropped – will release a self-titled CD in 2011, from which Say What You Believe is the carrier single.
