"it stopped me in my tracks"

Product Description

Just Love By Monica Watkins, contributing editor, GospelMusicChannel.com Once again, Music World Entertainment is flexing their Gospel music muscle with debut artist Brian Courtney Wilson's Just Love. Don't let your ears be fooled; it's not the O'Jays singing on track one, the title track of the CD. But Just Love reveals a bit of Wilson's personality, musical influences and his history, as he sings of his appreciation for his church in Houston, Texas. While the track isn't a guaranteed favorite, it does stir up curiosity regarding what else Wilson may have to sing about. A well-crafted blend of pop, jazz, and R&B, all pretty standard sounds in urban Gospel, the project weighs heavy on the ballad end of the scale, but it's probably for the best. Wilson's mature, R&B style vocals seem to slide into the soulful tunes more comfortably. Some true notables are the Tommy Sims' masterpiece, "Simply Redeemed," a powerful worship ballad "Almighty God," and the gospel friendly first single, "All I Need." It's easy to guess what music Wilson grew up on, as the influence is evident throughout the project. His throwback sound may well work for or against this artist, but only time will tell. In the meantime, Just Love is certainly a satisfying debut.

In a review of JUST LOVE, Andrew Greer of Christianity Today writes, "Roll out the red carpet. It's not every day that music industry mogul and famed father Mathew Knowles (Beyonce, Trin-i-tee 5:7) hand selects a new artist for his label's tight-knit roster. But after hearing singer/songwriter Brian Courtney Wilson's smooth grooves and smokey vocal chops, Knowles signed him on the spot. Marrying slick R&B with inspirational messages and straight-up church soul sangin', the singer/songwriter makes a noticeable mark for a newcomer...With a wide appeal and high profile backing, Wilson could be gospel music's next big thing."

I watched Brian evolve into something great and the album shows a glimpse of the heart of the artist. My favorite song of all is "Simply Redeemed". It's honest and he's transparent for the healing of others. To those that are looking for a fresh new wedding song, try listening to "Believe". I love it, love it, love it! This new artist will he heard for years to come because he has so much to offer. Just listen to the words of "All I Need" and you will agree.

This review is from: Just Love (Audio CD)

Brian Courtney Wilson has profoundly blessed me through "Just Love". It is an album that you simply have to listen to in its entirety. Brian's voice is silky smooth but at the same time completely sincere in expressing Brian's heartfelt lyrics. I truly believe Brian's music changes lives for the better. It is apparent to me, that Brian has surrendered his voice and gift to a higher vibration that can only be provided by knowledge of God's love. Just Love and give yourself the gift of experiencing God's true love for each and everyone of us. Thank You Mr. Wilson and Music World for having the courage to put out such a sincere project.

Brian Courtney Wilson, Urban Gospel Music's gift from God! Just what we needed in a time like this. The voice is anointed, soulful, and has a conviction that connects with God, and takes Brian, and you to a special place..."Just Love" ushers in the presence of God. I'm hooked on the ballads, and Praise & Worship songs. My favorites Already Here, All I Need, Almighty God, Tommy Sims "Simply Redeemed", .. Awesome job Gospel World! I hope Urban Black Gospel radio does there job,.. Brian Courtney Wilson a voice this world needs to hear in a time like this.
