Short Reviews by Chris King, Joyce Davis & Bobby Parker!

Christopher Lewis-CRISIS:Change Is Required

Written by Bobby Parker, TV Host

This is my homeboy "Chris" Christopher Lewis from Goldsboro, NC, who loves people and he is a true worshipper. He has a brand new CD that is full of hot urban tracks and some real worship music.  His new project is entitled, "Crisis". This CD explains Lewis' turningpoint in life and he talks of his stuggles and how he had to make a change in his life.  The two-disc project opens up with a hard-hittin' contemporary cut called, "U Don't Know", it's a fresh urban song about when your friends can't help you and nobody is there except God...God is Faithful!  I love the jam, "Joy", a smooth radio single that has that urban feel with an old school flavor to it. Lewis sings and explains how he went through but the joy of the Lord is his strength.  Joy gonna come in the morning ya'll!

Hey, check out these other stand out cuts like, "Man Inside of Me" (Love it!), "The Fall of London Bridge" f/ Darlene McCoy, it opens up with some Drama. I like the traditional/blues flavored cut, "Show Me The Way" f/ Bishop Paul S. Morton. It's a feel good tune.  You will enjoy this entire CD from Lewis, now living in Atlanta, GA but this Carolina fellow will bless you and help you get out of your crisis.

Bishop Leonard Scott-Be Lifted Up

Review written by: Bobby Parker, TV Host

This is a powerful uplifting CD and you will be singing God’s Praises.  “We Lift You!  That’ the chant and shout out to God as this project it’s stated.  To reach the masses is what Tyscot Records is all about.  Bishop Leonard Scott is the owner of this company and he is a might man of God.  Dr. Scott is a great speaker, Bishop, preacher, educator, dentist, singer, songwriter, pastor and father.  I had a chance to fellowship with him and his wife and they are down-to-earth people.  They are praisers and he is on fire for Christ.  Get ready for a power-packed worship experience and be ready to lift up Jesus.  The titled cut is a tremendous praise song and you will be dancing with joy on the song, “Be Lifted Up”.  It will ring in your head and you will still be lifting up after it’s gone off.  Bishop Scott mellows things out with a smooth tune entitled, “Bless The Lord O My Soul”.  I love the background vocals…nice.  Rock to the reggae flavored tune, “This Song I Sing”.  Then put your hands together on the slamming groove cut of “Mighty God”, it’s a upbeat jam that has Bishop Scott giving all the praise on this one. It’s the radio single and I’m airing the video…Go Bishop Go!  May Christ Be Lifted Up on this one and look for it to bless a nation.

This is the first solo project from this awesome man of God.  Myron Williams is a pure worship leader with talents that will bless the body of Christ for a long time to come.  Williams is a top notch producer who has worked with Juanita Bynum and he has great vocals to carry his own CD.  Min. Bynum presents this project to the world and you will be blessed by this pure ministry of great songs.  The title cut, “Made To Worship” is a great worship song.  This new project has already debuted on the Billboard charts in the top 10.  Wheww, way to come out the box!  This Fort Worth, TX native is a powerful Minister of music, he was appointed President of Flow Records where he also produced the acclaimed CD by Juanita Bynum, "Piece of my Passion”; which sold over 500,000 copies in four months and it stayed on the charts forever.  Speaking of forever, forever does our King reign forever, turn it up on the praise jam, “King Of Kings”, it will bless ya.  Check out the slow song, “You Are My Destiny”, it will leave you loving God more.  Other songs that will minister to you are, “I Just Want You”, “I Don’t Mind Waiting’ and my favorite, “Draw Me”, that will have you out on the floor then getting up chasing God and running after him.  It’s a great song that at first wasn’t even suppose to be recorded…look at God!

Trinitee 5:7-T57
 
Written by: Bobby Parker,NDIG Host

Now listen here, the ladies are back and they are better than ever.  This group has appeared on my Gospel television video show more than any other artists in the industry right now and I am so proud to call them my friends.  It’s Trin-i-tee 5:7.  They are coming back strong with a brand new project entitled, “T57”.  I love entire CD and it’s something on here for everybody.  You will like the urban hip hop, R&B Gospel flava on it and my girls Adrian, Angel and Chenelle are on another level.  This time they are under the production team of Mathew Knowles out of Houston, Texas.  Other Producers on the project are Solange Knowles, the Bama Boyz and Walter Milsap.  Milsap did a hot song for the ladies entitled, “Beautiful Girl”, I love that song of praise. He also produced the very hot New Orleans’ feel marchin’ band tune, “Listen”.  That jam is all over radio and it’s on my Gospel Video show.  HOT & Sizzling!! This album is filled with 12 awesome cuts.  Check out “Like U”, it has a powerful Richard Smallwood “I Love The Lord” sample on it written by Solange Knowles.  The ladies remade a nice urban inspiration tune that R. Kelly made famous called, “U Saved Me”.  They did a great job on that one. I like the cuts, “I Want To Go Back”, “Love” and the slamming jam, “God’s Triangle”.  Lastly please give a listen to the classic remake of the tune, “My Soul Is Anchored”, made famous by Douglas Miller and it’s perfect for T57 for where they are right now.  You will love this CD…now LISTEN here! LOL!

Joann Rosario-Joyous Salvation
 
Written by: Bobby Parker, WAUG-AM PD b_parker1340@hotmail.com

This CD is a great celebration of God’s goodness and it will bring joy to your heart and some gladness to your soul.  That’s what it did for me and I am a very big fan of the ministry of Joann Rosario.  This is Rosario’s third project and she is a true worshipper and a great songwriter because she wrote most of the songs on her latest offering, “Joyous Salvation”. This project will bless you through your everyday life and that’s just what Rosario wants it to do.  I recently drove on a long road trip and I placed this CD in my disc and I was so blessed during the drive.  I cried tears of joy and I cranked it up through the jamz that blessed me.  Radio is blessing people everywhere with the singles “Restore To Me” and I love the cut, “Glory To You”.  Please enjoy this CD and give a listen to other standout gems like, “More Than Anything”, “You Are Holy” and oh my goodness the beautiful song, “Beautiful Son”. I promise this will bring you good joy!  Grace-n-Peace!

Bruce Parham-Dwell Together

Written by:Joyce Davis, Joyce.Davis@genworth.com

After being blessed with Hide Me, I did not think there was another song to top that one.  Bruce Parham comes back strong with the Dwell Together Project. This project takes you to another level of worship with songs like Holy, Holy Is The Lord, Overcomer and Call Jesus.  If you are having a bad day, these songs of worship will take you to a higher level of worship.  Every song on this project is so anointed that I just hit the repeat button on the entire project.  The lyrics are so anointed that will take the believer into the holy of holies. Add this project to your music collection and watch the move of God manifest in your life.

Review written by: Bobby Parker, WAUG-AM PD

I really enjoyed this project and this is a very anointed group of siblings.  The McClurkins consist of Award winning Gospel artist Donnie McClurkin and his sisters Andrea, Tanya, Cheri, Olivia &Carol.  They have come together again with a powerful CD entitled, “We Praise You” and that is exactly what they are doing on this album.  It’s all about praising the Lord with this family and they are so incredible with every tune.  The radio hit is the title cut, “We Praise You”, written by andrea and Donnie McClurkin wrote most of the other songs on the project.  This CD was recorded in Queens, NY live and you will indeed enjoy this family sound and be blessed.  Check out some of the other great selections like, “As Long As There’s You”, “If You’re Ever Feeling Lonely”, and “Precious Lord”.  You will be praising to “We Praise You”!

Tramaine Hawkins-I Never Lost My Praise
 
Written by: Joyce Davis, Joyce.Davis@genworth.com

One of the legendary pioneers comes back with a project that will let her fans know that she is back.  Packed with 11 powerful songs, this project is awesome.  With the production of Kurt Carr, this project will get a lot of radio play.  With the first song, Excellent Lord, Tramaine is blowing.  I really did not find any songs on this project that will not be a hit. You Get The Glory has that old school melody.  I Never Lost My Praise is the testimony that Tramaine blesses us with when she thought she had cancer.  What an awesome song this is.  Worshippers get ready for the next two tracks.  These songs will take to you to another level.  One of my favorites is I Need Thee.  We are blessed with Oh Happy Day. Lord You Are is a song that you just sit and let the words minister to you.  Like Never Before is a fast paced song that the listener can hear the sound of Kurt Carr on this one.  The last song is Don’t Count Me Out.  This one is personal testimony for me.  Tramaine was absent for a while, but her return is worth the wait.  Purchase the project and let this awesome woman of God just bless you musically.

Vanessa Bell Armstrong-Walking Miracle

Review written by: Joyce Davis

One of the most distinct voices to ever sing gospel music is back.  With ten anointed songs, it was truly worth the wait.  Starting with Walking Miracle, Vanessa lets the listener know that if you are walking, breathing, seeing, then you are a walking miracle.  Seasons, is a funky song that lets the believer know that all things work in seasons.  Love this one.  So Good To Me, is getting air- play on some local stations.  Pure Vanessa.  That woman can be called the female Rance Allen , she can moan saints.  Donald Lawrence helps out with Wait.  Another funky song that put scripture to the believer, wait on the lord and he will renew your strength.  Fall In Love Again is awesome.  This song is so anointed that it lets the believer know that they can fall in love with Jesus again. Watch Me, is followed is followed by Til the Victory’s Won.  Vanessa is blowing saints.  In the blowing she is letting God be glorified in the lyrics.  Just Hold On lets me know that even when one struggles all we need to do is hold on and God will deliver.  After God has delivered she lets us know that it is Over Now.  The last song on this anointed project is I Just Love You.  Be blessed by one the great female singers of all time.

This project is sure to bless, pick it up and let it minister to you.

These are my boyzzz! MOS aka Men Of Standard are three of the most talented fellas singing in this industry with their new offering entitled, “Surrounded”.  The surround sound of this hot urban LP will have you turning up the speakers and making an ugly face to the rhythm-n-praise and I know that you will enjoy all 10 cuts on this project.  This is a powerful new CD on a new label for MOS.  Big shout out to Ike, Lo & B., as I know them but Mr. Isaac Carree, Lowell Pye and Pastor Bryan Pierce are the nicest guys and have such an anointing sound and you will be blessed by listening to this CD.  I will be the first to say turn up the jam, “I Will”, it will bless ya with productions by Warryn “BabyDubb” Campbell.  Keep it rollin’ with the powerful cut, “Power” and don’t sleep on the Caribbean grooved cut, “Alright” featuring rapper Heavy D.  I like the party-feel-tip of the song, “Everybody”, perfect for those Gospel Skate parties.  The titled cut, “Surrounded” slows things down and delivers a smooth message that tells us that we are surrounded by the Lord’s love and it’s not about us but all about HIM.  Check out the radio favorite, “Latter Rain” with awesome vocals of MOS and the voice of Kirk Franklin…NICE song.  Get you copy of this album and let the music surround you.
