His name is Jesus by Jeremy Riddle

Lia Elise: I love this song purely because my relationship with God is the most important thing in my life. The love of Jesus has changed my life completely and this song encapsulates so beautifully who He is. In a musical sense, I love big orchestral sounds. This song also builds so powerfully, and chosen melody and production of this song invokes deep emotion.
No one like you by Jonathan Ogden
Artist: Jonathan Ogden
Album: Future Forever
Featured artist: John Mark Pantana
Released: 2022
Lia Elise: Again, the lyrics of this song mean a lot to me. Having a relationship with the one true God of the universe is a thing I will never get over. I also love the production of this song. Jonathan has such a talent when it comes to layering harmonies. The piano in this song is beautifully light and emotional and I wish more songs used the harp because it is divine!!
Enthroned by Courtney Riley & John Wilds
Released: 2023
Artist: Courtney Raley & John Wilds
Album: Enthroned
Lia Elise: Now this is an epic song. I think that a lot of people have the misconception that worship music (although it really isn’t a genre of music) is always slow and dreary. This song I think breaks that idea. Not only does this song glorify Jesus, it does so in such a powerful proclaiming way. The use of instruments, especially the electric guitar and drums really add to that powerful effect of this song. This song never fails to get me hyped!
More than a woman by The Bee Gees
Released: 1977
Movie: Saturday Night Fever
Artist: Bee Gees

Lia Elise: I mean it’s just a classic. I have always loved this song from when I was young and it never fails to put a smile on my face. I love the seventies disco era of music.
My silver lining by First Aid Kit
Album: Stay Gold
Artist: First Aid Kit
Genres: Alternative/Indie, Folk
Lia Elise: Lyrically, I think this song is a beautiful encouragement to keep on hoping, especially in the hard times. I often used to listen to this song when I needed a little inspiration to keep on with life. Musically, I just love everything about it. I love the harmonies and the way they use their voices as instruments. A few years ago, I became a lover of country music style and I have no regrets.
