First of all, all I have to say is WHOA! This album is one of the best by a young female solo artist I've heard in a while. Damita a.k.a. Damita Haddon, wife of Gospel's Golden Boy, Deitrick Haddon is blazing the same trail as Mary Mary did this year by being one of the first Gospel artists to be signed with, secular label Atlantic Records, a deal she landed in the middle of their attempts to sign Deitrick. Atlantic is the label that BeBe Winans was on when he did his first album, but unfortunately things didn't work out with them and now he's on Motown. I plead the blood right now against anything like that happening to Damita!

The album starts off with the hot, hot track "Why", a song in which she asks "Why did you give your love to someone else? [instead of God]". It basically teaches the age old biblical lesson that "The arm of flesh will fail you" [and I know that's right!]. Then there's the explosive rock and hip flavored "Truth", which features a short rap by Toby MacKeehan of the Christian rock band DC Talk. Next are "Life" and "Spirit Inside" two other hot, hot, hot joints on the album. After this is the short, sweet, and beautiful passion ballad "Calvary", then "Hold On To Your Faith", a remake of the version of the version she sung with her husband, Deitrick Haddon and the Voices Of Unity's first album 'Live The Life', personally I liked that version much better. When I bought the CD I thought it was gonna be on there, but it wasn't. The new version is alright but not better than the original. Then onto the radio joints, joints that I think if she made a really, really, good professional, concept video for her album could go multi platinum in just a matter of months. These joints are the very R&B inspired "I Can Feel Him", which has a simple and catchy hook, the main ingredient to a hit song and "Won't Be Afraid", my favorite song, which is about somebody getting over a bad or abusive relationship and finding God, people can really relate to this one. Damita, if you ever read this, I just wanna say, make a video for "Won't Be Afraid"! The album ends with "Real Friend", another hot R&B-ish joint and the "Wedding Song" which features and is written by Damita's aforementioned husband Deitrick Haddon, then "Day Go By" and the encouraging "Holdin' On", to end the album. This album is the bomb! With the right marketing, Damita can be a household name within a year!

Have you ever listen to today's R&B and liked the beat but disappointed by the lyrics? Well here is something that will satisfy the pickiest palate when it comes to great Christian R&B music for the 30ish crowd. I have long since given up on today's R&B and have never been a fan of contemporary gospel, but Damita's debut album has definitely changed my entire perspective of contemporary gospel music! Trin-i-tee 5:7, Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary, watch out! This is a definite winner!

Damita is probably already on of the best female vocalist in gospel music! This Cd, is very Powerful! Damita can tells you like it is and there is nothing you can say about it! I was totally shocked when i heard that my Godsister Damita was coming out with a Cd. I knew the girl could sing, but since i haven't seen or heard her such a long time, i didn't know how she sounded. Trust me when i heard this Cd, it all came back to me. This woman has enough power and passion in her voice to make the deepest sinner repent!! I'm serious, i was totally blown away with her. I wanted to call her up and say "I can't believe YOU". Damita and my family go way back, even before i was born and all i can tell you is this, there is noone like her and noone who can blow like her, she will give Whitney Houston, mariah carey, and yolanda adams a run for all their money. Seriously. The beats on this Cd are BLAZIN'!!! The lyrics are sincere and for real, and the talent is toatlly there. Damita is gonna blow up big time!!!!!!!!!

I just purchased this CD and I love every song. Damita has a sweet anointing on every song. Also, I love the different styles of music that she uses on her CD. If you buy this CD you will not be dissappointed, it will minister to you. !!!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed listening to Damita's album. I truly enjoyed every song on the CD. I must say the most favorite songs are "Life" and "Keep Holding On" "Keep Holding On" is one of those songs where you just close your eyes and be taken into the Spirit. It's such an encouraging song. "WHY" is sends such a positive message out to everyone who get involved in relationships for the wrong reasons. She has such an angelic yet POWERFUL voice. I really enjoy the "Wedding Song" It's such a beautiful and annointed song. I also like "Truth" I kind of like that rock n' roll, heavy metal beat. But it's all good in Jesus name. I can't wait for her next album. Trust me, you will definitely want to get this album. I guess I'm going to have to start a "Haddon" collection.

I absolutely love this CD. I didn't know there was music available for "young and the young at heart" to grove to, or be ministered to that contained lyrics of truth, Godly truth. I completely recommend.

I really like her album.It mixes gospel with cool beats,God didn't say we couldn't dance to praise him.She is very in touch with her spirtual gift.Thanks,God Bless,Tee.

This album is must have for any gospel music lover's collection. The mix of Damita's tight vocals, funky instrumentals, and masterful production is second to none. Damita's debut release is one that shows her ability as an incredible songstress and her flexibilty between musical styles. The album is tough from beginning to end! You will be pleased to hear Damita rock the house in "Hold on To Your Faith" with a funky, headbanging, production. Damita is definitely one that displays her love in "The Wedding Song", this track is one that should be played at every wedding! This album is certainly a winner!

This CD is a perfect addition to my Urban gospel collection which includes artists such as Tonex, Deitrick Haddon (her husband), Mary Mary, Montrel Darret, and many many more wonderful spirit-filled artists that I don't have room to mention. Damita Haddon has such a blessed and anointed voice she could've sung this whole album without music except that the beats are so TIGHT!!! There are a wide variety of sounds on this album from slow R&B to a funky rock joint ( and I don't even like rock). It is obvious this Detroit area resident has a fine career ahead of her. It's just one of those CD's that you put in the player, and play all the way through. It is sure to be a blessing to those looking for a R&B sound filled with the WORD instead of trash. Pick up this CD and be blessed!!!!

Very good. I really liked it, my favorite tracks are Truth with Toby McKeehan from D.C talk; the remixed Hold on to your faith; I can feel him; Real friend, and my absolute is Calvary! Continue to let God use you, God Bless!:-)
