NASHVILLE, TENN (Feb. 11, 2005) — Singer, songwriter, pianist/keyboardist,
Scott Krippayne knows that without risk, there is no gain. His sixth CD,
Gentle Revolution, departs from the popular sounds of his previous albums and reflects his new, more aggressive style.
For the past few years, Krippayne has taken a spiritual journey.
Gentle Revolution is the product of that journey and expresses Krippayne's desire to create something true to his own heart.
"The idea behind
Gentle Revolution is change. Any revolution means change, and we associate that with overthrow, and yet Jesus brought a gentle revolution into the lives of everyone he met," said Krippayne, "He listened to their stories and gave them truth…With some of the songs on this album, there's a risk of misunderstanding. People can read a lot into it, if they want. But it's the most honest I've ever been. I'm convicted by these songs every time I sing them."
Krippayne creates his new style with the Yamaha. His more powerful convictions from the CD are in the powerful ballad, In the Name of God," which describes the sad state of war and how even though he supports the troops in Iraq, he still feels that with war, "we mess it up more than we get it right and yet there's hope here because God is merciful." His other songs like "Something Different," "I Am Jesus," and "Renee" each has an exciting twist or underlying question and answer for those who listen.
Gentle Revolution is more aggressive and rock n' roll than Krippayne's previous albums, however the CD contains encouragement and added strength to help fans as they continue their own journeys. Krippayne still has more to discover, but for now Gentle Revolution compiles his thoughts and his hopes for the future.
"If I've learned anything…it's that I've got a long way to go to make a difference…I can't pretend to know how or if these songs will impact people, but my hope is that God's Spirit will reveal what he will to those who will hear."
