The main reason I bought this entire disc is for track #3 - JOY! I heard this song on the radio as I was driving to work & it just uplifted my spirits and put me in a positive mindset before I entered my workplace.

I'd never heard of Niyoki before but was confident that based on what I'd heard and the dj's endorsement that I'd enjoy it. I know that it's debatable in some churches whether this type of contemporary gopel music crosses the line and veers too far towards the secular sounds of r&b and hip hop but I love both traditional and contemporary gospel music and see how the modern songs speak to the younger people in church - they listen to the lyrics which helps them receive the word in a better frame of mind.

Niyoki's voice is joyous & angelic and the fact that she co-wrote on almost all of the tracks really helped sell the songs to me.

The standout track is JOY but the others that I find so moving & uplifting are: ALL THAT I HAVE; I WILL REST; SO GLAD YOU DECIDED
(reprise); I WANNA; FOREVER, PTS I & II and I WIN.

After listening to Niyoki's latest CD "REST" I was blown away by her sweet, smooth, silky yet powerful and inspirational voice. To hear such a beautiful voice coming from such a beautiful face was a double treat for me. Niyoki is the next "big" thing in comtemporary christian music.
