I have been a fan of James Fortune since his debut, 'You Survived'. I never thought that JF and FIYA could out do what they did on 'The Transformation', but then again, there are clearly no limitations on what GOD can do. Encore does just that. Musically, this CD crosses over into areas where only GOD's select few can go. The musicianship and production on this album is simply astounding - add in anointed vocals, you get an explosive combination that will make you want to praise him for the GOD that he is. Literally, every song on this CD will make you want to dance, clap...praise - do something! You cannot listen to Encore and be still, nor will you be the same after you listen to it. It's that good, and so is GOD.

This CD is simply magnificent and wonderful. James Fortune did his thing as he normally does. The songs ministered to me and I simply enjoyed it. This is a must have CD.

Okay so I just found out that James Fortune and FIYA has a new project out. I didn't think I was going to hear from them until like may-june-ish... I don't have a copy yet(I'm getting one friday) and just by listening to the previews of the songs on this particular cd, all I can say is wow!!!! I mean I thought The Transformation was something but oh my goodness!!! (Keep in mind that all i have listened to is the previews) EVERY SONG??? Now I know that if you create a project with 10-12 maybe even thirteen songs where EVERYTHING was hot but 18??(Granted that the last track from what I heard was a testimony but it messed you up just listening to how everything went from the bottom of the barrel to the top of the mountain) And lets not even talk about some of the "special guests" thats on this project. Pastor William Murphy, Canton Jones, Anaysha Figueroa (Hope I spelled that rite lol) Zacardi Cortez, Issac Caree, just to name a few(actually there's like three or four more so that would be a lot more than a few...lol) This is what elevation is all about. Giving God your best and "trusting in Him" no matter what the obsticles may be. James Fortune and FIYA does just that and it definitely shows. Oh yeah did I mention that this is a "Live" project??? I'm so done rite now. Please ya'll purchase this cd! I don't sing with him (would love to though...)but this is absolutely one of the best offerings regardless if you heard it a million times or if u just caught the first 30 seconds u know what to expect. God bless you James Fortune and FIYA and continue to keep blessing and be a blessing to us thru your annointing and your music ministry. I CAN'T WAIT TIL FRIDAY!!!! YESSIR!!!!!

Great CD, so touching. I would give as a gift to members that need lifting. Fortune is telling a story of experiences that really touch the heart.

I think he's my next new favorite artist. This CD is so wonderful and annointed. Thank God for his testimony.

Can't believe JF & FIYA could get better than the 1st 2 CDs. But they did. Annointed music that whole family can enjoy. Teen agers, young adults and parents. A must have. Can't wait to travel with this in CD player. HYPED all the way.

Album is pretty solid - a couple of really good songs. Overall it is not AMAZING, but it is worth the purchase. Spanky and Thad Tribbett are featured on some of the tracks, Kiki and J Drew Sheard are also featured.

Encore by James Fortune and FIYA is just that. If you were at one of his shows (which I recently had the pleasure of doing) you will be yelling Encore!! His music realy touches your spirit.

I really love this album, especially the more personal, praise & worship songs. the upbeat songs are "ok" but the ones that i really love are the ones that speak to your heart and make you want to draw CLOSER to the Lord.

i highly recommend this album because it is very much needed in GOSPEL music where the "INDUSTRY" has overshadowed the MINISTRY.

This is certainly a cd worth buying, however, it is not quite as good as the "I Trust You", cd. Hard to beat that one!! If you like James Fortune and FIYA, this is certainly for you. They put so much emotion and feeling into their songs that it really ministers to the spirit. Next best thing to church!
