Bill Madden's latest release, Child of the Same God, is clear to stitch people a world apart together with the grand unifier that is music. We're all the same, despite background, as we're all flesh and bone living organisms on this Earth. Madden uses music to bring us together with lyrics that pontificate existential and evangelical ideas to which everyone can universally relate. He raises issues like he's summoning a messiah through prayer to help us. It's only fair that Madden's activist work translate into his first love of music with harmonic melodies that run smoothly like a stream.

Any pain or disturbances in Bill Madden's life, you can hear in his passionately resonating voice that is cloaked in sorrowed wounds. His lyrics are heartfelt and truly meaningful. Madden has humanistic and religious influences that personify him as a voice of a heavenly being. Even if people share a prejudice to the topic of discussion in his songs, the tracks harmoniously work together to create a diverse compilation of moderately slow music that has nobly peaceful qualities similar to the groovy '60s and '70s where peace was the central message.

It's very encouraging of someone trying to get such a meaningful message out through their firm musically tuned instrument, which happens to be Madden's soul. He acts as a spiritual vessel, spreading the word at a time in our history where it needs it the most. It's a dangerous world we live in, but Madden's musical gift brings us hope that we can persevere.
