Jesusfreak

Jesusfreak is the second studio album by Christian rock band DC Talk, released in 1995. The album was a departure from the band's earlier sound, incorporating more experimental and alternative elements.

The album features a mix of styles, including hip hop, rock, and R&B. Vocals are shared between the band's members, Toby McKeehan, Michael Tait, and Kevin Max. Jesusfreak spawned several hit singles, including "Luv Is a Verb," "Between You and Me," and the title track "Jesusfreak", which won a Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album.

The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its innovative blend of styles and the band's willingness to experiment. Jesusfreak has been certified Platinum by the RIAA and has sold over 2 million copies in the United States. The album is often credited with helping to launch the Jesus music movement of the 1990s, a genre characterized by its fusion of Christian lyrics with alternative rock and hip hop sounds.

Jesusfreak has been re-released in several formats over the years, including a 10th anniversary edition that features bonus tracks and remixes. The album remains a key part of DC Talk's discography and is widely regarded as one of the standout albums of the 1990s Christian rock landscape.
