“Real Love" is the full-length debut release for Jesus Culture Music Artist, Derek Johnson. Featuring 12 original tracks, Derek utilizes his own journey into the redemptive love of Jesus Christ, as well as, his passion for message-driven songwriting, to share his hope in the God of real, authentic love. Drawing inspiration from songwriters like Tom Petty, Brandon Flowers, and Dan Layus (Augustana), Derek leans on his American rock roots that blossom into a modern alt-rock landscape, with melodies poised to support the potent message that's carefully crafted in each song. Unhindered in its focus to communicate, this album's fundamental core is worship. In tracks such as “Meant to Last", we find a poetic exploration of love after beholding Jesus. Heartfelt anthems like, “Power In The Cross" and “Our Salvation" declare the truth of the Gospel delivered with a fresh sound. The title track “Real Love" captures the heart and soul of this collection with sincere depth,and Derek invites us to embrace this love like never before. This album is an easy fit for your Sunday morning set-list or your personal devotion while being a beckoning call to those still searching for real love.
