This Is Not A Test
Well, if you are a TobyMac fan…and if you’ve ever heard him, you’re a fan, right?…you are going to love this new album entitled This Is Not a Test. I LOVE it! You’ve probably already heard Beyond Me playing on the Christian radio stations. This entire album is just as good! It is typical TobyMac, and it is amazing. It is uplifting and will have you praising God and singing along.
This Is Not a Test is TobyMac’s 6th studio album to be released. Starting with dc Talk, and then going solo when the group disbanded, Toby still clings to such rootsy notions as hard work, persistence, patience, and – perhaps most relevant of all – the power of music, which he insists is still what keeps him going. “It’s the truth,” he says. “I still believe that a song can penetrate a heart. I believe God can use a song to open someone’s mind and heart.”
This Is Not a Test releases August 7th and has the following songs on the deluxe album:

I love DC Talk and TobyMac, so I have favorite songs from both. I saw DC Talk in concert several years ago and they were awesome. I saw and met Toby just a couple of years ago at a concert I went to with a friend of mine. It was outstanding! My favorite DC Talk song is Jesus Freak and favorite Toby Mac song is City on Our Knees.
I saw him a few years ago! I need to go again sometime. He's amazingly talented.
He really is, Christy. :)
I've heard of TobyMac but haven't listened to any of his music. Would like to though. My fave Christian singer is Matthew West. Thanks.
