Dion - Kingdom In The Streets - 1985 - Full Album

This was Dion's 5th Christian album and is actually my personal favourite. While Put Away My Idols was his big Christian album I actually think this is a better album. The Pop tracks are simple and fun which was actually Dion's strength. It's what made him big in 60's and I'm glad he carried it through to most of his Christian albums. The album did have 2 CCM charting singles, "Still In The Spirit" made it to #5 and "He's In You" made it to #24 so it was moderately successful but I think it should have done better. I am going to be a bit critical of Dion now however. I can't see one artist on this album that was from the Christian music industry. All of the studio musicians are mainstream musicians. I'm not saying none of them were Christian because I never judge who is or isn't a Christian but none of them were ever involved in the Christian music scene. Many people argue that Dion was jumping on the Christian bandwagon while it was hot, and he was not. I do understand their opinion because Dion just didn't seem to be a part of the community. Strange bit of trivia about the album. Track 5 is called "Only God Can Change A Heart" an the jacket but is called "Only God Can Make A Change" on the label. Proofreading was a optional thing in the record industry. Anyway that aside I really enjoy this album and you should give it a listen if you enjoy the pop style.
