""I gave it up" is a fast-paced song explaining that he gave it up. All the old things in his life that were bringing him down and weighing on him. "I'm so into you" is a sharp turn from "I gave it up." He speaks about being so into God and needing more of Him. You can feel J. Moss's heart in this one. "Restored" has a nice beat flowing over awesome lyrics. I love the percussion arrangements in the background, "Never rejected, just reconnected...I'm restored." The bridge in this song is CRAAAZYY!!! Wow! I think this is THE standout track on the album. Next, "Anointing" got me with a soulful and jazzy start and arrangement. He speaks about the anointing that cannot really be explained and the power that is in the anointing of God. Books, magazines, novelties and documentaries cannot explain "the anointing." Annointing also slightly reminded me of Coko's "Endow me." Sweet Jesus can be explained just by the title. I loved when around 2:40 it got quiet and you felt where J was at in the past. When he was all alone in a pool full of tears. "No More" took me to a slight rock dimension, had some bouts of autotune. I think it's a great song and a great middle track for the album. On to "God Happens" the music was different. Different but brilliant. I love this track, the lyrics are so true! "Friends will leave you out to dry but you will find that it works out in the nick of time because, God happens." On "Holy One," musically I got a traditional gospel vibe. Again this track is self-explanatory. God is the Holy One. "Rebuild," nice and peaceful; just how I love my songs. He speaks about being broken and asking God to rebuild Him. "Just James," really reveals where James heart is. He explains that God is working on Him and he is just James.



This album is about adoration and praise and worshipping the Most High God. Every track is different and he showed a variety of musical styles. You can understand the meaning behind the title of the album. He is simply just James, revealing his true heart. I didn't get complicated fancy melodies that were on his previous albums. No doubt I loved his other albums but sometimes you just want to really get to know the man without all trimmings.You get that on this one. You get James. Thank you J. Moss

"Ok. I dont wont to write a book here, but!!!!! This will be in my CD player for a lllllllllong time. Im gonna get another one for my house as well. Yes. only James here. I appreciated the Collaborations, but thanks for being selfish this time J. And it was needed! This is just what I imagined. "Sweet Jesus, Jesus", I was so hungry for a longer rendition of this song from the previous CD, V2! "I Love to Praise your name"! Thanks so much J. When u listen to this track #5, be sure you can manage yourself if you are driving or on the job. You will definitely be taken there, in the presence of GOD, and you will react! From track #1 it is on. Im like a kid with a new toy. I ran to Walmart this morning to get my toy!. On the real, J Moss has just flat let out there and by him just putting it out there like he has, he will help others whom face similar situations. Lord I need to be Restored sometimes daily, through out the day. That FLESH aint no JOKE! Just when u think u have managed it under control, BAM, here goes. But thank GOD for Restoration and his Annointing. I cant say enough how much I am so, so satisfied with this project. It will be a blessing to my husband and I! I cant wait for him to hear it! So I will definitely be copping the DVD and any concerts/praise and worship gatherings J Moss will be in near my area. J Moss, truly this is the Deal of the Year. "Holy One", mercy, mercy. "Rebuild Me" .......All I can say is God has a mystical way of working out situations sometimes. I pray for you and your family and God Bless."

If this was Just James...it was not enough

"I rarely go out and buy cd's anymore and after purchasing this cd last night, I feel really bad that I waited to make this the first cd I have purchased in months. I am so in shock at how NOT stellar this album is. Now don't get me wrong, the annointing is on parts of the cd, and J is always the premier lyriciast and singer, but this album just doesn't do it for me at all.



The albums starts out with Gave It Up, and J always starts his cd out with a banger, this one, was lack luster. It lacked the normal fire J comes out the box with. It was ok, but if you know how J comes out hard...this isn't it. PAJAM, was either on vacation, having producers block, or plain trying something new with the production here and it sounds again very unispiring from track to track. Yes there may be some praise and worship here, BUT, if he wanted to blow us away he would have been better suited giving us some live praise and worship with unedited annointing. I was really grimacing through the album until I came upon the gem God Happens, which really spoke to me, so I know I will have this one on repeat. He picks it up from here and continues with the next two tracks being pretty good and ends out with Just James, which didn't end the album on a high note for me either.



Now I love me some J Moss to death and was so excited about going and getting this project,and I know artists will try new things, but this album left me feeling like he needed to go back in the studio and keep working for another couple months. Better luck next time!"
