BREAKDOWN:
A new super-group has formed! Lauren Talley, known for her time with her family The Talleys and as a soloist, has teamed with powerful vocalist Amber Saunders of the dynamic trio 11th Hour and award-winning songwriter and vocalist Kenna Turner West to form a new trio. These powerhouse ladies bring their respective talents and voices together to deliver a unique and inspiring music experience. Their debut album features seven incredible songs that are sure to delight listeners.
This exciting album opens with the title track: a groovy tune that reminds us of the Hope that we have in the Word of God. Lauren Talley’s distinctive soulful tones shine on this inspiring lyric. “Ever-Present, Almighty God” is a powerful, mid-tempo song that tells of the faithfulness of God. In His Goodness, He delivers every single time. Amber Saunders takes the lead on the energy filled “Won’t Be Me.” This fun song simply says: I’ve got the joy of the Lord so nothing on Earth can bring me down! The beautiful ballad “Every Praise,” features all three vocalists and lifts praises to God for all He has done for us. “Take Me To The Water” is another groovy tune that simply says: Take me to the Water that satisfies. I need a healing flood! Kenna Turner West shines on this song about salvation and baptism. “Prove ‘Em Wrong” is an upbeat groove that encourages listeners to stand on the promises of God. If you put your trust in Him, no weapon of Earth can harm you. The album closes with a fantastic mid-tempo anthem entitled “That Kind Of Friend.” This powerful tune praises Christ as our ever faithful friend!
FINAL THOUGHTS:
THIS IS A STELLAR DEBUT FOR THIS NEW SUPERGROUP! WELL CRAFTED SONGS FROM ONE OF SOUTHERN GOSPEL’S BEST SONGWRITERS (ALONG WITH LAUREN TALLEY AND AMBER SAUNDERS), INCREDIBLE VOCALS, AND TOP NOTCH MUSICIANSHIP. THESE LADIES ARE INCREDIBLE INDIVIDUALLY, BUT EVEN BETTER TOGETHER. I’VE BEEN A FAN OF EACH OF THEM FOR SOME TIME NOW, BUT SOMEHOW WAS NOT FULLY AWARE OF KENNA WEST’S INCREDIBLE VOICE. HIGHLIGHTS: “TAKE ME TO THE WATER,” “WON’T BE ME,” AND “THAT KIND OF FRIEND.”
GO GET THIS CD ASAP!
