Boy groups, schmoy groups. The real action in high-energy popthese days, at least in Christian circles, is girl groups. When itcomes to boy groups there's - Plus One and that's about it. Butthere seems to be no shortage of young, good-looking, girls willingto go solo or in a group to create the current version of discomusic.

Yes, I said disco. Get over it. Because lo, this kind ofdisposable pop music will be with you always, until the end of theworld - only now they call it dance music.

There are multiple groups and solo artists practicing this now(V*ENNA, Aurora, Rachel Lampa, Shine-MK, Whisper Loud, StacieOrrico), but as far as I can tell the best one is coming out ofSparrow Records with the improbable name of ZOEgirl - what doesthat mean?

(According to Kristin Swinford, one of the members of the group,"Zoe means 'life' - the kind of life attained through livingaccording to the will of God in Christ Jesus. We want our lives tobe examples of that -- being a 'ZOEgirl.'")
