One thing remains constant: God is good! :O)
Oh! I guess since Kierra Sheard's 3rd album came out yesterday I can briefly comment on that. By no means do I consider myself a "critic" of any sort, I just know what I like and I will say that her album is pretty decent. She's grown greatly since the last album. Her lyrical content has "matured" to an extent.
What I'm particularly impressed - well surprised moreso than impressed- with is that about 70% of her album is praise and worship to the God she serves - Jesus. Not that she hadn't been doing so before, but I'm finding it rather disappointing that not many of today's black Contemporary Christian artists are doing that. Everyone (not necessarily excluding KiKi) is making all these allusions and references to "Him", and "Love", and "You", and whatever else they can think of, as not to offend those that may not be too comfortable with it. It's like they're trying to appeal to everyone's ear that they forget what and WHO really matters. But! that is not the purpose of this blog. Back to KiKi...
She has a couple of tracks that are blah at best (mainly the upbeat songs), but overall, it's a solid album. She kills on the ballads! I love em all!
So there's gotta be a favorite right? Welp, yeh. I have a few. My favorites thus far are Jesus (the reason I bought the cd), Invisible, Love Like Crazy, and One. On the contrary, songs such as Boyfriend, Wave Your Banner, Like David, and If It Had Not Been definitely go on my slum charts. Notice I said "MY" slum charts...that doesn't make it a rule; it makes it an opinion. :O) Anywho...if you're on the fence about getting it you can check out a few of the good ones HERE and decide for yourself! As for the rest of you folks...be blessed and keep it easy.
