Pure Gem

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Tina Glenn has a voice so pure that if you close your eyes, she will uplift you to the very gates of heaven. Her freshman project is simply put - dynamic. Produced by veteran gospel super producer Roger Ryan this album covers the gammut musical taste. The opening track, Come to Jesus, is a mid-tempo petition for any who does not know Jesus to get to know him. And just when you think you know the feeling of the album, track number 2, Walk with Me, explodes with such energy and vigor you think you are in Church once again. The ballads of this album are simply beautiful. "If You Believe", "You Can Make It" the Winans remake "Yea and Nay" and "Jesus Alone" causes the listener to really think about their own personal relationship with the Father. And for those Jazz lovers out there, Tina has not forgotten you. "What I Know" and "Po' Pilgrim of Sorrow" (with vocals by Mark Kibble of Take 6) give just the right timbre to keep the album groovin. The album culminates with "Til We Meet Again" which debuts Tina's two children.

This is a must have for the serious gospel enthusiast. If you don't know, now you know. (Glory, Glory)"
