text: what are some new cool christian cd's? i'm getting gifts for friends and they listen to christian music. what are some new cds that recently came out that my friends might not have? hi! i  don't know what style of christian music your friends like, but here are some options- if they like rock try: red - end of silence, it is really, really good. or you could try skillet - comatose, it's also good. plumb - chaotic resolve, this was the best c.d. that came out this year! barlowgirl - another journal entry, not as good as their self-titled c.d. but still good. sarah brendel - (self-titled) she has a rather thick german accent, but it's worth listening to.  if they like pop try: krystal meyers - dying for a heart, she sounds a little bit like hillary duff, but better. natalie grant - awaken, this c.d. has a mix of all styles, but mostly pop. nichloe nordeman - brave, this is a softer side of pop, but i love it. jars of clay - good monsters, this c.d. was rated c.d. of the year by ccm magazine. rebecca st. james - if i had one chance to tell you something, she is more rocky that pop, but really good. ana laura - (self-titled) softer pop, good.  if they like softer stuff try: leigh nash - blue on blue, she was the lead singer in sixpence none the richer. michael w. smith - stand, i haven't heard this c.d. but, if you like michael, you'll probably like this!  if they want christmas music try - (most of these c.d.'s are older,)jump 5 - all the joy in the world, classic bubble-gum music. point of grace - a christmas story or their new one - winter wonderland. stacie orrico - christmas wish, this is an e.p. with only 6 songs, but it's worth it. natalie grant - believe, this is more of a gospel type with strong vocals. leigh nash also just released a new electronic e.p. that i think you can get at itunes. rebecca st. james - christmas, a mix of traditional songs.  there, i hope this gives you some ideas!
