But Tomlin’s musical footprint is as big as anyone’s. The singer/songwriter/worship leader has sold millions of albums and been streamed billions of times. Many of us have belted out a Tomlin song or two or 20 at church. By any musical metric you want to use, Tomlin is a megawatt superstar—even if he doesn’t act like it. Rooted in the world of worship music, Tomlin says that he prays for one thing when he goes on stage: That people might have an encounter with God.

But Tomlin has also said that “worship is more about seeing than singing,” and his latest venture is a visual one. He’s serving as an executive producer for The Last Supper, a movie scheduled for release March 14.

When I talked with Tomlin about his involvement with the film, he said it began as you’d expect: with music. “No Greater Love,” a new song by Tomlin, is a part of the movie. He says that the song and the movie dovetail together quite well—even though the song itself was written before he’d seen a frame of the film.

“When those end credits go, and my song starts coming, you would think that I just watched the movie, grabbed my pen and wrote the song from there,” he says. “I didn’t even know the movie when I wrote the song, and that was just another point where God was like, ‘I’m putting this together. I’m connecting you guys.’ And so I was like, ‘How can I get involved [in this film] in a greater way?’” 

So, what does that “greater way” look like? And just how did that song—the song that landed in The Last Supper—come about in the first place? That’s a pretty fascinating story.

But don’t take my word for it. Watch the video and hear for yourself.

I generally try to provide a diverse list of possibilities, in terms of genre, solo artists or bands, Christian musicians and mainstream ones, and male and female singers. This year, though, there’s less diversity than I’d like, especially when it comes to female performers.

We’ve reviewed many of the biggest female artists in the industry this year: Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande and Gracie Abrams. There’s a lot to say about each of them and the songs that they’ve given us this year; unfortunately, they each come freighted with some pretty big concerns, too.

As we move into 2025, we’ll keep an eye out not only for the biggest movers and shakers in the musical world, but also for the artists crafting songs worthy of a listen because of their redemptive or thought-provoking perspective on the world.

And one final disclaimer of sorts: As with all of our year-end picks, inclusion on this list doesn’t mean that the songs and artists we’ve highlighted are without flaws. Several of my choices below come with some content issues that you should be aware of. So before streaming or purchasing any of these artists’ works, we’d encourage you to read our full reviews of these tracks and albums.

So … enough preamble. Let’s dive into Plugged In‘s picks for best music of 2024!

Jelly Roll, Beautifully Broken

Jelly Roll’s latest effort is not without some significant disclaimers—which I’ll get to in a minute. But first, a confession. Jelly Roll (born Jason DeFord) has blown up the last couple of years, but I didn’t really get it. After listening to this album, though, I do. Not only does he have terrific country vocal chops, but Jelly Roll’s transparent, vulnerable songs offer a front-row seat for the internal battles we all face. His include a war with addiction and substance abuse.

But even if those struggles aren’t a part of your story, what we get here is a powerful collection of songs that unpack the tension between addiction and grace, failure and forgiveness. And even though this isn’t technically a Christian album, it may as well be with lyrics like, “Dear Lord, can you help me?/I’ve fallen out of grace/ … I’m shackled in these chains/I’m haunted by the lies of every time I said I’d change” (“Heart of Stone”). That said, there’s one harsh profanity here and a handful of milder ones that remind us we’re not dealing with a CCM artist. That language may be a deal-breaker for some. But it’s also infrequent enough to be navigable on this otherwise powerfully personal album about holding onto faith amid failure.

ROSÉ, “number one girl”

I mentioned above that many of most popular female singers this year produced music that just has too many concerns for us to be able to include them on this list. ROSÉ’s hit “number one girl” has some issues, too. But I think they’re navigable ones, and they might even provide a catalyst for a deeper conversation with tween or teen girls about value and self-worth. In “number one girl,” this Korean singer delivers an achingly painful plea for affirmation and acceptance. She wants to know that she has value and that her romantic partner cares for her in a committed, exclusive way: “Tell me that I’m special, tell me I look pretty/ … Say what I’m dying to hear/’Cause I’m dying to hear you.”

There’s a rawness here that makes me protective of this 27-year-old singer. But that very vulnerability could lead to deeper questions with our kids: Where does my value come from? How do I handle rejection? When is it appropriate to open our hearts to love, and when do we need to protect them? “Number one girl” begs those sorts of questions, even if ROSÉ at times seems prone to compromise in order to find the love she so desperately longs for.

Justin Timberlake, “Selfish”

You might be surprised to find a Justin Timberlake song on this list. After all, his music has regularly featured risqué moments, and his personal life has drifted into the tabloid zone a few times, too. That said, this track unabashedly declares the former *NSYNC singer’s love for his wife, actress Jessical Biel: “And my heart would go flatline/If it wasn’t beatin’ for you all the time.” A few lines here are mildly suggestive, but Timberlake keeps it pretty PG overall. And along the way, we get a lovely, even gushy dose of a husband’s love for his wife. Very nice stuff from Mr. Timberlake.

Skillet, Revolution

If there’s a constant through line in my end-of-year Best of Music lists through the years, it’s Skillet. That’s because year in and year out, John Cooper and his band keep cranking out crushing metal that challenges listeners to keep the faith. And the band has faithfully executed that calling for nearly 30 years now. Skillet’s latest album, Revolution, delivers another barrage of songs that acknowledge life’s hurts but encourage us to press through them. The song “Defector,” for instance, poignantly articulates that dichotomy between struggle and perseverance as we trust in God’s love for us: “I will be your light when you can’t see/ … I know the battle you’ve been through/I’m never backing out on you.” Revolution unleashes plenty more where that came from, as Cooper and Co. keep their unwavering focus on God’s character.

Forrest Frank, Child of God (Deluxe)

In contrast to Skillet, Forrest Frank is a relative newcomer to the Christian music scene. The 29-year-old, who’s also one-half of the pop duo Surfaces, is on a mission: to craft memorable music from a faith perspective. Plugged In reviewer Jackson Greer writes, “Forrest Frank wants you to know that Christian music doesn’t have to be boring.” The “Deluxe” edition of his latest album, Child of God, spans a whopping 27 tracks, dealing with subjects such as depression, fatherhood and marriage. He recently told Christianity Today that he believes many in his generation are craving music that “speaks openly and unapologetically about Jesus.” And this album definitely makes good on speaking directly to that hunger for Christ-focused truth … that isn’t boring.

And that’s it! Those are Plugged In‘s choices for best music of 2024.

“Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!” – Psalm 95:1, ESV

In a unique way, music speaks to our souls. There’s even an entire musical genre called Soul. So, it’s ironic that Soul is one of the genres that artificial intelligence music generators can emulate best.

That’s right—the world of AI has expanded beyond ChatGPT essays and image generators. There are music-generating AI models out on the world wide web. And they’re becoming easier to access every day, especially for kids.

How Does Generative AI Work?

According to Harvard University, generative AI is “a type of artificial intelligence that can learn from and mimic large amounts of data to create content such as text, images, music, videos, code and more, based on inputs or prompts.”

If you’ve ever used a generative AI tool, the process can seem like magic. You type in a prompt with as much direction as you can think to give, and the model will output content. It may not always give you exactly what you want, but the results are very often impressive, if for nothing else than the speed at which the content was created. An article, an image, a song—they can all be created in seconds.

In his autobiography, Mark Twain observed, “There is no such thing as a new idea … We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations.” He couldn’t have known it at the time, but his quote would very accurately describe how generative AI works.

To “create” anything, generative AI requires a dataset—a sort of digital library filled to the brim with content the AI can reference to make something new. For example, if you wanted an AI to generate a faux country music song, it would need references of existing country songs to emulate that style accurately.

So, like the quote above suggests, generative AI is not creating something from scratch (although this can appear to be the case at times). Rather, it’s making “new and curious combinations” based on what it’s being asked to do.

Generative AI & Music

The rise of AI music generators has led to a fascinating range of outputs, from the incredibly convincing—such as this “up-tempo Memphis soul 1970’s” ditty—to the niche and bizarre. If you’ve ever wanted to hear Homer Simpson or Phineas and Ferb’s Dr. Doofenshmirtz perform a cover of Tom Cochrane’s “Life is a Highway,” for instance, you’re in luck.

As you might imagine, this creation process has caused a bit of a stir in the music business and, in some cases, has even resulted in legal action.

However, these tools are still becoming more accessible every day. In many cases, you can start creating your own AI-generated music absolutely free of charge through a website or app. But that ease of use can be a double-edged sword, especially when we factor kids into the equation.

Kids & Artificial Intelligence

According to a report from Common Sense Media, 7 out of 10 teens have used generative AI tools. And, according to the same report, most parents didn’t know that their child was using AI.

The low barrier of entry may help explain why many parents are unaware of their kids’ usage of AI tools. That can lead to several problems, but for now, let’s hone in on two bigger parental concerns: the potential for AI to short-circuit kids’ creativity and the possibility for exposure to and creation of explicit content.

Does AI Kill Creativity?

While there has been research on the effects of generative AI on a child’s creative process, plenty of questions remain. Past studies have shown the ways technology, such as the internet, can alter how our brains operate. But does access to generative AI—if used throughout childhood development—fundamentally change the way kids create and interact with music?

An overreliance on the tool could lead to a diminishment in your child’s creative confidence. Why take the considerable time to learn an instrument or write a piece of music when a program can do those things in an instant and do them (as some might think) better? (Of course, the same thoughts could be brought about by watching a master of their musical craft perform.)

Then again, that may not be the case. Other children may be inspired by the realization of what is possible, which could lead to a deeper appreciation of music and a desire to unlock their own musical talents. In that way, AI music generators could be a boon to their creativity, a chance to discover, experiment and grow.

But creativity challenges aren’t the only concern parents may have with AI. …

Explicit Content Dangers

…The other concern revolves around kids stumbling into (or creating their own) explicit content through an AI music generator. Most reputable AI tools have some sort of safeguarding: Their models are programmed to reject prompts that would lead to them creating explicit content. But these are not foolproof.

I tested the content guardrails on one of the most popular AI music generators in use today—Suno. Suno creates songs based off text prompts. So, I asked it to make a song specifically with explicit lyrics. The good news? It ignored that part of my prompt, instead creating a clean song with the other elements I had suggested.

No doubt Suno’s safeguards were at work. But it’s far from foolproof.

Suno (and other music generators) offers the option to write your own lyrics that the system will add vocals and music to. And while Suno’s filters will catch some things, users have been able to slide profanity and other objectionable content into their songs by replacing the actual spelling of words with alternative spellings, such as phonetic or “algo-speak.”

What Now for Parents?

So what should parents do to stay on top of their kids’ AI use?

My advice: Explore these AI tools together with your kids. You could use an AI music generator (Suno, Udio, AVIA, Soundful, Hydra II, SOUNDRAW, Beatoven and Amadeus Code are some of the most popular programs) to create a song or even an entire album, spending time with your child and fostering his or her creativity.

Every child is different, so taking this time to see how your son or daughter responds to an AI tool will give you a good baseline to set ground rules on when, what for and how much your kids should use AI.

Just say no.

When it comes to entertainment, sometimes that’s exactly what you need to say: No. No, you can’t watch that horror movie for Halloween! You say. You’re only 5!

But what if your child is 12? Or 15? Or 18? As your kids grow older, that simple “no” isn’t always as effective. And sometimes, it’s not even all that protective. Because one day, when that 5-year-old is out of the house and making decisions for herself, she needs to have more in her entertainment discernment file than the word no. And that requires more from moms and dads.

What does it require? And how much more effort does it take? Adam Holz reclaims the host chair today and talks with Jonathan McKee and me about that very topic. It’s an informative, engaging and—if I may say—fun conversation.

And then, we’ll turn our attention to Chappell Roan, one of the hottest musical acts out there. Even if you don’t think you’ve heard any of her work, trust me: You have. And even if you haven’t, your kids have. Adam tells you everything you need to know about this musical sensation.

Speaking of which, we think it’d be sensational if you listened in and joined the conversation. Talk to us on Facebook, Instagram, via email (team@thepluggedinshow.com) or by leaving us a voice message (at The Plugged In Show homepage). Or, if you insist, just leave us a comment in the section below.

And be sure to join us next week when we talk with some of the folks behind The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, a new movie based on Barbara Robinson’s classic book.

Now, at first glance, there’s not much wrong with Halton’s video—or with the video she’s trying to outperform (singer Bella Poarch lip-syncing to Millie B’s “M to the B”). Both videos are, at least superficially, not nearly as bad as some of the other content you might see on TikTok.

However, when you begin to consider the other content these creators post, parents have quite a bit to consider.

Poarch, whose success on TikTok launched her music career, has written numerous profanity-laden, albeit catchy songs. And Halton is just about what you would expect from a 20-something social media influencer: a fan of filters, makeup tutorials and often-revealing outfits. So think of “M to the B” and “Praise Jah in the Moonlight” as a little like potato chips: consume one, and your children might want to go for more. But these influencers’ bags of videos can be very problematic indeed.

And this isn’t the limit. If you check out the lyrics of “M to the B,” your jaw is liable to drop. As popular as the song is, it’s about as crass and offensive as it gets. And that’s where TikTok’s influence on music becomes a problem.

Billboard—as in the Billboard Hot 100, the preeminent music chart system for North America—now has a chart exclusively to track what’s popular on TikTok. But when the songs topping that TikTok chart aren’t exactly wholesome, how should parents respond?

As of this week, Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” stands at the top of the TikTok Billboard Top 50. Other chart-toppers include Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” and Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather.” Now, if your kids only ever listen to the snippets of those songs trending on TikTok, you might not have anything worry about. But if they’re already grabbing at potato chips, these singers might be carrying bags you don’t want them ripping open.

What’s popular on TikTok or Instagram or YouTube or any of the other social media platforms is often a direct reflection of culture—particularly teen culture. So when your kids are looking for new music, it’s not too far of a stretch to say that they probably search for what they’ve heard on TikTok.

And while there may not be anything particularly titillating or special about the TikTok videos making these songs so popular, there could be problems with other content posted by the same creators or with the full lyrics of the songs they’re using.  And discerning parents should raise some red flags since that content isn’t exactly wholesome.

Our screens are our best friends.

Few of us would say so, of course. But more than a few of us probably spend more time with our screens than our spouses, our kids or our parents. And when our children are spending so much time engrossed in their phones, that can actually hurt their ability to engage with, y’know, us.

Arlene Pellicane can relate. Her kids are 14, 17 and 19, and she and her husband have dealt with balancing screen time with family time for years. In fact, Pellicane has even co-authored (with Gary Chapman) a book on the subject, titled Screen Kids: 5 Relational Skills Every Child Needs in a Tech-Driven World.

Plugged In Director Adam Holz talks with Pellicane about her book and the strategies she’s honed in her own house. It’s a pretty interesting—and really helpful—conversation that you might be able to relate to yourself.

Then we’ll switch gears and talk about a different sort of relationship—that between a father and son. Luke Combs has plenty to say (and sing) on the subject, and he does so on his aptly named album, Fathers & Sons. Our very own summer intern, Caleb Gottry, has reviewed the album, andAdam and I took the chance to talk with him about it. And our conversation takes a very familial turn.

Just as this episode is all about relationships, we’d love to have a real relationship with you, too. What are your own family screen-time strategies? Have you listened to Fathers & Sons? What lessons has your own father taught you?

Let us know on Instagram or Facebook. Leave us a voicemail on The Plugged In Show homepage. Write to us at team@thepluggedinshow.com, or just comment down below. We’d love to hear from you. And we look forward to connecting with you again soon.

On average, a Spotify user listens to approximately 3,695 minutes of music each year, as of the 2023 Wrapped. So, what impact do those 3,695 minutes—which averages out to about 10 minutes, or two-to-three songs per day—have on our brains, our habits and our spirituality?

Well, it really depends on what you’re listening to.

Our brains like rhythm and rhyme. That’s why it was easy for us as kids to remember the ABC’s (thanks to that song that is probably running through your mind right now), or, courtesy of Uncle Charlie, how I know what the fruits of the Spirit are (and that a watermelon is not one of them). It’s also no secret that children learn, and subsequently memorize, more quickly than adults.

According to Geisinger health, motor memory also plays a role into how we remember lyrics so well, while we’d still be hard pressed to quote a passage from our favorite book. As we sing along to the songs we love, we move those lyrics from our short-term, or temporary, memory banks to our motor memory, the same place we remember how to ride a bike.

And that part of our memory is scary good. (When’s the last time you forgot how to ride a bike?)

It’s no wonder that the Bible tells us to sing to God throughout the Psalms. That sentiment is echoed again in the New Testament. Building habits of praise puts those words of thankfulness and exhortation in our minds and ultimately, in our hearts.

Unfortunately, not every song on Spotify sings the praises of God’s amazing works. Surprise surprise, many do the opposite. Especially in recent years, we’ve seen a rise in songs tagged as “explicit.” And even if a song doesn’t carry an “explicit” tag, many are not exactly “clean.” They can be free of bad language and still praise profane acts and issues. Hozier’s 2014 hit “Take Me to Church” isn’t profane, but it equates sex with worship and physical intimacy with salvation, according to our reviewer Adam Holz. And that might not be the sort of thing you want settling down in a child’s motor memory … or your own.

Much of Christian theology focuses on setting our minds and hearts on the things of God (Colossians 3:1-11, Psalm 37:4), but your brain only has so much room. Singing explicit lyrics–or even listening to them enough times–fills your brain with the things that can pull us away from God and could even influence how we behave.

Music is powerful, but it isn’t inherently bad. Even knowing music has this power in our brain, it would be difficult to avoid music completely, and I don’t think you’d want to. (I, for one, am tens of thousands of minutes ahead of the Spotify average). For many of us, music is an almost constant companion—something we listen to while we drive to work, exercise or even write blogs. And the younger you are, the more likely that music will be a big part of your life, playing in the malls, through a new pair of AirPods or behind Instagram reels. Music can calm us down or fire us up. And at its best, music can even help us contemplate God.  

But for the amount of time music-listeners give music, exercising a fair bit of caution is wise.

To go one step further, watching what you listen to is one thing, but while the Beatles catalog is fairly clean, it still doesn’t use the scientific facts of song memory to our spiritual advantage.

Contemporary Christian Music and its musical forebears, hymns, fill the listener’s mind with the things of God. The music can encourage forgiveness instead of bitterness, love instead of anger, praises instead of curses and ultimately, a life lead by God’s will instead of our own.

And for you parents out there, remember that when you’re listening to Christian music at home or in your car, you’re not necessarily the only one who’ll be listening. Your kids might be listening, too—and those God-honoring lyrics might just be making inroads into their own motor memories.

So, if you’re jamming out in the car with the windows down, playing background music in your headphones while cleaning the house or letting quiet and calm music lull you to sleep, play music that is spiritually edifying. After all, it’ll be rattling up in your brain for quite a while.

Back on Episode 233, we talked about the biggest summer blockbusters we can look forward to this year. But this week, we’re doing just the opposite: sharing some of our personal favorite movies released in the summers of yesteryear. If you’ve ever wondered what the Plugged In team enjoys movie-wise when we’re off the clock, this episode will give you a little bit of insight … and give you some ideas for films that might be worth your consideration if Hollywood’s rather thin slate of blockbusters this summer leaves you wanting.

In our second segment, it’s all about Billie Eilish. And we’ll talk about her new album, Hit Me Hard and Soft. It’s the influential 22-year-old singer’s third album, and we think you’re going to want to know some of the ideas and messages she’s sorting through on an album full of angst, heartbreak and same-gender romance.

As always, we’d love to hear from you and engage your thoughts on the topics we cover each week. You can connect with us in several different ways. The comments section below is one method. Or shoot us an email at team@thepluggedinshow.com.

And if you head over to our podcast homepage, thepluggedinshow.com, you’ll find a black ribbon on the right-hand side of the page where you can leave us a voicemail with your thoughts—we might even feature your audio message on a future show. And, of course, Facebook and Instagram are options, too. We’re excited to report that we’ve begun hearing from some of you, and we look forward to adding more voices to the show as you leave us your thoughts here.

And if there’s anything else on your mind when it comes to movies and entertainment, pop culture and technology, we’d love to hear what you’re thinking about. We’ll look forward to connecting with you.

If you look at Beyoncé’s Wikipedia page, it’ll tell you that she’s a “singer, songwriter, producer, director, businesswoman, dancer, actress, philanthropist.” Well, now you can add country music star to the list. Yep, Queen Bey is wearing a cowboy hat these days, notching another No. 1 hit with her song “Texas Hold ‘Em.”

But she’s hardly the only woman making waves in the world of music. Look at the list of major Grammy winners, and you’ll find it dominated by divas: Miley Cyrus, SZA, Billie Eilish, Lainey Wilson, Karol G and, oh, someone named Taylor Swift all took home hardware from the February awards show.

Our own musical diva, Kristin Smith, sits down with Adam Holz and Jonathan McKee to talk about Beyoncé, the Grammys and tell you everything you need to know about today’s hottest female performers.

And after you listen to that spicey conversation, we’ll fly to the planet Arrakis and talk about spice of an entirely different sort. That’s right, we’ll be digging into Dune: Part Two—a movie expected to earn upwards of $80 million this weekend in North America. Yep, it’ll be a big deal. But should it be? Adam and I will discuss this sprawling sci-fi story and unearth any problematic content sandworms that might be slithering under the surface.

So don your stillsuit, slap in those earbuds and listen to our own melodious conversation, won’t you? And once you’re done listening, join in. Do you have a favorite musical artist? What musical genre should Beyoncé tackle next? Are you planning to see Dune: Part Two? Tell us in the comments section. Or talk with us on Facebook and Instagram. Send us an email (at team@theplugginshow.com) or even leave us a voicemail on our homepage. Why, you can even sing your favorite Beyoncé song, if you’d like.

Sometimes, there’s nothing quite as relaxing as stealing stuff and engaging in high-powered shootouts.

Or, at least, so would say fans of the online shooter The Finals.

The Finals is the latest in a string of online shooters where gamers pick up virtual weapons and fire virtual rounds at their virtual competition. The Finals adds a bit of burglary to the action, though: Gamers are asked (as part of a televised game show, the story tells us) to steal vaults and transport them to cash out points. But other contestants are trying to steal the very same vaults—and they can steal from you as easily as you can steal from them. This invariably leads to the real draw of the game—the shootouts. And not only can you shoot each other but you can blow up pretty much every bit of scenery you see, too.

We’ll use that game to launch (pardon the expression) into a wider conversation about online shooters such as Fortnite. Why are these games so popular? Are they cathartic, or could they lead to some real-world issues? Just how much should parents be wringing their hands over these Fortnite-style shooters? Adam Holz will talk to Kennedy Unthank, Jonathan McKee and our very own gaming expert Bob Hoose on these issues and more.

And once we’ve fired off enough conversation in that direction, we’ll turn our attention to Gracie Abrams, a relatively new name in the world of music. Kristin Smith will tell us about this up-and-coming musical star (and daughter of Hollywood director J.J. Abrams) and let us know whether the “I Know It Won’t Work” singer will work for parents.

And then, when we’re done with this episode’s fun and games, we’d love for you to join in the conversation. Do you play Fortnite-style shooters? What do you think of Gracie Abrams? Let us know in the comments below. Fire off a missive or two via Facebook or Instagram. Shoot us an email at team@thepluggedinshow.com. Or pull the trigger on our new voicemail option, which can be found on our podcast homepage, thepluggedinshow.com.

And, as always, we look forward to your company again soon on The Plugged In Show.
