How are the songs selected for each Song DISCovery volume?
A. Every song is listened to in what we refer to as the sifting process. During that time we hone the amount of songs we receive down from an average of 2,000 per listening period to a final of about 25. This is done by examining each song through the lens of our five criteria for worship music: production quality, style diversity, worship function, lyrical poetry & accessibility, and biblical faithfulness. Those 25 songs then go before a listening board of, usually, 8 to 10 worship leaders, industry professionals, church pastors and Christian musicians. The board critically listens to each song with even closer attention to the five criteria, and then they vote. The songs with the highest scores are what you hear on the next Song DISCovery volume.
