Lizz Wright: Fellowship
Posted in Christian & Gospel on Jun 18th, 2011
“On her fourth album, Lizz Wright returns to her gospel roots after writing her own material on 2008′s The Orchard.

Posted in Christian & Gospel, R&B on May 27th, 2011
“Mary Mary still know how to make an entrance, opening their sixth album with a raucous stomper — the album’s title track — that samples the Jackson 5′s “Mama’s Pearl.” The following track, “Something Bigger,” increases the energy with super-charged marching-band percussion.” –All Music Guide Check Our Catalog

John Scofield: Piety Street
Posted in Christian & Gospel, Jazz on Oct 2nd, 2009
Check Our Catalog “Scofield has assembled a crack band of more roots and groove-oriented sidemen to cut his version of a gospel album….While it’s true this is gospel music re-visioned by Scofield, it’s still a gospel record, and carries within it the heart of that music’s great traditions — melody, complex harmonics, and lyricism. This [...]
Mandisa: Freedom
Posted in Christian & Gospel on Oct 2nd, 2009
Check Our Catalog “Rather than attempting an ill-fated imitation of Beyoncé or Alicia Keys, Mandisa again finds the sweet spot for her own voice on Freedom. As a result, this album is a slam dunk.”–All Music Guide
