"Testimony," the hit single, is impacting radio now! Other standouts are all the songs on this amazing project.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anthony Brown and Group Therapy...Now In Session August 24, 2012

By George Daigle

Format:Audio CD

Anthony Brown & Group Therapy (Tyscot Records) may be a new group to many by name. But the group's leader can count VaShawn Mitchell as a fan and has penned some amazing songs for other artists (Maurette Brown Clark's "It Ain't Over" for starters) long before the monster hit "Testimony" took to the airwaves. Anthony Brown & Group Therapy is not just another group where the leader calls out the lyrics and the background vocalists sing in response (not to take away from those who follow that template) but Brown is heard singing on many of the dynamic songs on this project. Brown's rich tenor voice is reminiscent of Donnie McClurkin (who is also a fan) To add the impact of this project, Brown's keen musical sensibility shines as he makes good use of the Group Therapy members by give them charge to lead and add vocal flavor to several of the songs.

Here is a run down of the stand out cuts from the project from Anthony Brown &Group Therapy

"Harvest" Maurette Brown Clark joins AB & Group Therapy as guest vocalist on this song that resounds with a clear message of expectation. Clark and Brown voices go well together. (I hear this as the next single)

"Group Therapy" Approaches the listener with the sound of lushly produced songs of the 1950's (Nat King Cole,etc) Anthony is front and center on vocals and his delivery is spot on, smooth and captivating. Group Therapy has the stuff that BGV's are made of on this welcome departure from what a gospel listener would expect.

"Better Days" An upswing tune that rocks with jubilation and takes it back to the choir days. Brown once again delivers the meat and potatoes on the vocals and Group Therapy is not lacking in their tight harmonies as they modulate the hook.

"Testimony" This is my jam!!!! Brown rocks the lead with the stutter "Can't Can't Can't Can't Can't nobody..." on the vamp. Individual vocals can be heard from Group Therapy as they literally tear it up on the end.

I can't tell it all but I can say you won't miss with this one.

Get it! Love it! Live it!

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this CD!!! January 13, 2013

By Proverbs 31

Format:Audio CD

This CD will definitely minister to you! I bought the CD after falling in love with "Harvest Song", but I ended up falling in love with the entire CD. We attend the same church (First Baptist Church of Glenarden), so I've heard him minister through music numerous times. Harvest Song was a family favorite. Although I do not know him personally, I CAN say that he is anointed. I listen to "Testimony" quite often, and have church all by myself in my car...lol! Even my children get excited when I play it...big hit! The lyrics are inspiring, music is refreshing and performed directly from the heart. I can't wait to see what God has in store for Anthony Brown and Group Therapy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Sleep on this Project! September 24, 2012

By Zoe

Format:MP3 Music

I bought this on a whim and...I absolutely love the project. Normally when you buy a CD, it has maybe three songs that grab your attention, but I love the ENTIRE CD. Since I downloaded, it has been on repeat (at work, in my car and on my gym playlist) and I don't skip any of the songs. BUY IT - you will not be disappointed!
