Keeping up with what is current in our stores though it has been out for quite a while is this album. Many people I know already have this so if you don’t already have this it’s a must have. It is entirely a different genre from the earlier one I recommended. This is very gospel style but again it’s a fusion of so many styles.
The interesting part is that this album is a combination of two remarkable talents. Israel Houghton and the band New Breed. This collaboration itself if I may say makes it interesting enough for any music enthusiast to get this album.
It supposed to be live and in a probably worship concert style (though I think that word is an oxymoron). But the arrangements in the songs are remarkable. The rhythm section is just amazing. My favorite song is We Have Overcome because if those of you who are fans of Israel, you would realise that this gives the same atmosphere as his older hit ‘You Are Good’. It’s so groovy and just makes me want to dance….though I’m not sure if that is a nice sight to behold.
As a general comment, the album is very very nice for its musical value but I’m not sure of how many of you will enjoy it because of the difficulty level of playing this sort of music. It also is not in a vocal range that is comfortable for most people. If you are a Hillsongs fan, perhaps this is not something that you will find to your taste. This is just my guess and opinion.
I have this on a lower rating value because overall, I wasn’t encouraged to hear the album repeatedly unlike the previous one. Somehow it got dry after hearing it twice. I don’t know why. But this again is a matter of my opinion. Still when I’m feeling low on energy, this album gets me groovin’ again wooohooo!
