There was once a time when an album made a cohesive artistic statement. Where you dropped the needle on the first track and didn"t move until it was time to flip the album over. In these days of rushed compilations, the simple luxury of coherent art has been sacrificed to commercial concerns. Gospel music should be both cerebral and visceral, incorporating a theosophy (the Letter and the Spirit) regulated by God. An album should be like a good book or a great meal. A Gospel album should be like a great meal prepared by your grandma. I"ve always believed God to be a God who accomplishes unexpected things through unexpected people. People like Promise Lee, who overcame street and prison life to found Relevant Word Ministries. The church"s literal emphasis on the ministry of empowerment, compassion and hope fairly inhabits every song on this album. Grandma"s cooking is what Pastor Lee serves up with Relevant Praise, an unexpected group of new voices whom Lee minister! ed to while they were in the process of ministering to us. The resultant spiritual renewal in these young people is evident in every note as the Lord presents Himself in His own way. Make time to experience this new revelation of the Holy Spirit.
