Darkness Has No Weight': Singers Matt Maher & Kalai Discuss the State of Music in America (Bonus: Acoustic Performances!)

TheBlaze already brought you extensive profiles this week about two of the musical artists involved with Glenn Beck's "Restoring Love" -- Matt Maher and Kalai. On Wednesday, we caught up with both performers to speak further about music, culture and their careers.

Maher talked about the lack of positive messaging in music and discussed the difference between "light" and "darkness" in the industry.
