Main Review
Barely three months into 2010 and the Christian music scene is already welcoming the emergence of
several new bands, including Centricity Music’s Me In Motion. With the guidance of Dove-award winning
producer Ian Eskelin, Me In Motion has crafted an undeniably catchy debut that is sure to resonate with
Christian music fans.
Me In Motion’s sound is fun, free-spirited rock, a perfect fit for Seth Mosley’s punk-influenced vocals (think
Adam Agee or Jason Dunn). The band’s debut is chock full of sing-able, hook-laden melodies, each
song having the potential to be a radio-hit.
Love is a constant undercurrent throughout the record. Through its songs, Me In Motion wants people “to
realize that loving everyone, regardless of circumstance, is what it’s really about,” says Mosley. “Losers”
is about just that- loving people, while “The God I Know” acknowledges that the act of love isn’t always
easy or safe- “He touched my eyes and I can finally see/That love is a dangerous philosophy/You and me
have been hurt before/But that doesn’t mean we keep closing the door.” Other topics that pop up include
social justice on “Seek Justice, Love Mercy,” living life to the fullest on “Gotta Be Something,” and
rejecting complacency on “Here In The Middle.”
Closing Thoughts
While Me In Motion has solid debut on its hands, I do not believe its music will be the factor that
separates the band from its peers. What will set Me In Motion apart are the characteristics this three-
piece band wants to be remembered for- being “available and accessible” as Mosley puts it. Connecting
with fans on a personal and spiritual level resonates far deeper than a great album or show any day.
