Evening Standard newspaper focus on Christian music
IN AN EXTENDED article in their 5th June issue, London's Evening Standard newspaper wrote about Christian music, homing in on Delirious?. Writer Tim Cooper spelled out the prejudice in the mainstream, "It's alright for Lauryn Hill to read a Psalm at the Grammy Awards, Bob Marley to praise Jah, and the scantily clad babes of Destiny's Child to thank God at every opportunity. But Heaven forbid if Geri Halliwell should stand up at the Brits and declare herself a born again Christian. Yet in the face of such prejudice, Delirious? have quietly notched up well over a million record sales even though you - unless you too have been Born Again - have probably never heard of them."
