I can't believe what my ears are hearing!! I stumbled across Brittney's album while attempting to buy Yanna Crawley's. I previewed this album and was like awww shucks I gotta buy this. If you're previewing and are thinking, "Oh my goodness, everything is hot" it really is, trust!! Sorry Yanna, I'm glad I chose Brittney Wright but I'll get yours in a minute. Let me review this fire, anointed, musically complex and so fabulously put together album. Britt, where have YOU been? I know God's been hiding you but I'm glad that He's allowed You to come out at this moment in time. Gospel needs this! Listen all my gospel heads, this is anything unlike what you've heard....You MUST get this... I'm ready to go to a Brittney Wright concert like......NOW!!!

"Sooo..What!!! I'm a believer," Yes we're letting em know! This song is funky and upbeat; a great album opener. Next is Clap Your Hands which opens with a real hype electronica sound and horn instrumental, "Celebrate new life, livin for Christ." I love 'Hey, I'm forgiven,' the opening chorus just grabs You and it's such a joyful sound "Hey, I'm forgiven, now I'm forever changed." This song also has a slight reggae twang to me and the lyrics don't disappoint...It's powerful, "I'm forgiven, You took away my sins and You gave me peace within." Next is probably my number 1 pick, 'Draw me Nearer,' The lyrics, sound, beat are like amazing on this song, Everything complements each other so well including background vocals....Annointing fall..This is mmyyyy Songggggg!!!!! Listen when I tell you every single song is awe-inspiring, I mean it. I really am picky about how I rate albums but this...!!!!! When I was listening to the album, she had me on the edge of my seat like what is this chile gonna do next!!? 'Tell Me Where I Would Be' will make you smile...Let Go Let God, has a 50s 60s flair...and the lyrics appeal to me so much in my life right now..."I just stopped worrying about it and I let it go, I just quit tryna absorb it and I let it go." Next song 'I Need Thee' is a cry out to God and a love song to the Lord." Her rendition of 'I Need Thee' is...creatively arranged, smooth and endearing.. I love it. Now 'He's Not Forgotten' is a song of encouragement...Brittney, I needed this thanks for reminding me. Folks, God has not forgotten about you, you may be in a place that may seem foreign to you but God hasn't forgotten about you. 'If I Never Said I Love You' another love song to God...God is so amazing, I was truly blessed listening to this song. "You looked past all my flaws and all just to see who I would be...... If I never said I love You Lord, just know that I do." This song is a plea to the Lord and I can feel her honesty. Next, 'You Changed My Life' has got this real jazz, bluesy feel and I'm LOVING the background vocals on this. Brittney shows us some of her skatting skills, her voice is Bananas....Powerful and Convincing!!!!! You get a real treat towards the end of this song! 'I Can Win' is a song for the battle. We are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ! Last but not least, a classic: 'What a Friend We Have in Jesus' another great arrangement, I love the guitar on this one, love where she took it, another heart cry to God.


My top two gospel artists are Karen Clark and Fred Hammond and folks Brittney is now a third. <<Yeah I just said that, serious, Go get it!! Every bridge on each song was nothing short of creative genius...to her production team and band kudos...Can you make me a track?! Lol

I really love EVERY SONG but the Stand out Tracks in my opinion:
Draw me Nearer, I'm forgiven, Let Go Let God, He's Not Forgotten, I Can Win
And this is just the Beginning......

It's been a very long time since I've bought an album, and liked every single song! There aren't any skippers, or filler tracks on this one.

Don't hate me but I call her the female Mali Music! And I love Mali Music. Her style is similar to his, and her vocals are on point!

Worth every penny!
