"I'm a gospel music store owner and I couldn't get this CD fast enough myself. I had read the reviews of Ms. Jones' music so anticipation was high. I could say soooo much but I'll try to be concise. I absolutely love the mellow neo-soul sound of her music. The lyrics are what everyone is saying they are: uncompromising,unapologetic,bold and thought provoking. I longed for this style of music without it having a sensual or provocative sound. What's amazing is that she accomplishes this while compelling you to have a deeper love for Jesus Christ.

Definitely buy this cd!!! There's nothing misleading about the cover-art of this project, it IS as soulful as it looks. Her musical influences are evident....Erykah Badu,Jill Scott,Lisa McClendon,Debra Killings, yet her own creativity still flows.

More specifically about "Gotta Soul", track #10 shares her personal struggle with depression; #12 could be an anthem to refute those who say

all roads lead to heaven. Track #14 is just smooth (like ice cream :) You will love the jazzy scatting on #2 and the overall theme of the song.

The title track #9 has a definite purpose and will hit its mark on your heart. #6 "Love Jones" will make you want one if you don't have one.

Just check out the cd yourself....it won't disappoint."

What Soul!!!

"I heard the song Gotta Soul on the radio one day while driving from work and really enjoyed the music and the vocals. Once I made it home I searched for the artist and album. This album has a pleasing soulful sound. The music is soothing. The song selections have a strong salvation message as well as a message about the importance of living your life right. The song "Love Jones" made me think. I had heard about "love jones" but not in relation to Jesus. Honestly, I enjoyed the whole album."
