Darkness Has No Weight': Singers Matt Maher & Kalai Discuss the State of Music in America (Bonus: Acoustic Performances!)
July 26, 2012
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.
Aside from chatting about these elements, both artists performed acoustic selections. Maher talked about the lack of positive messaging in music and discussed the difference between "light" and "darkness" in the industry. While the beats and melodies are attractive, he claims that much of what is popular leaves listeners with little perspective and insight. This music is, essentially, meaningless.
