Well Deitrick Haddon is back on the scene with a new CD called "Supernatural". Now the cover of the cd says "Voices of Unity featuring Deitrick Haddon" but once you take a listen its clear that Deitrick is all over this product. From writing and producing to even doing his own background vocals on cuts like "Shake the World," and "Supernatural," Deitrick Haddon is the man! Two of the soulful cuts on this CD are "Jesus" and "Chain Breaker" which kinda reminds me of Mom and Pop Staples of the "Staples Singers" with those guitar lics and soulful lead vocals. Supernatural is very hard to put down. I mean one minute your tapping your foot and bobbin' yo head to one cut and the next your dancin in yo' car. The styles change from one cut to the next. Younger peeps should definitely enjoy this one! Is that Damita Haddon doing background vocals on some of the cuts?...Yep! I must admit that the production of Supernatural is tight! Deitrick Haddon will definitely be regarded as one of the hottest producers in the industry! -- ...

Or should I say one of Voices of Unity's best because it's not just Deitrick's show here...in fact some of the better numbers have him playing a supporting role only. This CD is pretty heavily weighted toward uptempo numbers but the ones that are here are mostly great. Plenty of slammin' beats and production touches that keep pace with today's R&B underscoring catchy upfront gospel lyrics.

HIGHLIGHTS:
"Victory" blasts into your speakers with a fanfare and a hot hip-hop sound (down to the artifically sped up high harmony vocal that's been turning up on rap hits). It's a testament to Haddon's instrumental and production prowess since he doesn't sing on it but does produce and play ALL instruments. "Shake the World" and "Praise Up" are both gospel floor fillers. (It's Rochelle Bates on vocals for "Praise Up") The outstanding slow number is "When We All Get Together", imagining Jesus' reign when the things that divide us as humans are passed away. A Staple Singers-ish sound colors "Chain Breaker (Jiffy Cornbread Mix)", thanks to Sean Carrington's slinky guitar and some great call and response vocals from Bishop Clarence Haddon and Joyce Haddon (Deitrick's parents).

LOWS:
"So Good" is pretty bland..I can see why it's the "bonus" track.

BOTTOM LINE:
Very solid disk with some standout tracks and not much filler. This is one to own.

I first saw Detrick on Bobby Jones Gospel.And thought he
had much potential and God was doing something with him
to the youth.Well through the years he has grown and grown
more mature in the Lord.God has truly annoited Detrick Haddon for this
X-GENERATION to the CHRIST-GENERATION!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, what can I say, but Deitrick Haddon has done it again! The artwork on the front of his CD cover may throw you off at first, but don't let that fool you! If you like Deitrick Haddon's style of music, then you will definitely love this CD. The first track, "Victory" automatically grabs the listener in with it's innovative beats, and jubilant feel. This CD is a must have for all of you who love to dance and praise God. While listening to tracks like "Praise Up", "So Good", and the title track "Supernatural", I couldn't stop my head from bobbing! The track "Supernatural" clearly shows off Deitrick Haddon's unique vocal capabilities. I've never heard a voice like his!! The melodies and runs that Deitrick came up with on this track is truly stunning!! This CD has something on it for everybody--young, old, traditional, or R&B. No matter what type of music you like, I'm sure you will enjoy this CD. On the ballad "Who Is Like Our God", Deitrick mixes classic R&B soul with a touch of worship. For all of those who enjoyed listening to the popular song "Don't Let Me Fall", you will love the follow up song with Deitrick thanking God for "not letting him fall" on the track entitled, "You Didn't Let Me Fall." I loved the CD as soon as I put it in my CD player, and I've been playing it ever since. I gave this CD FIVE STARS! If you don't have this CD, go out and pick it up as soon as you can! You don't want to miss out!

Praise God for Deitrick Haddon and VOU. They are inspiring and annointed singers who God is using greatly. Supernatural is a hit and I enjoy listening to their Holy Ghost filled music. It is the Annointing that makes the difference. Continue to let God use you Deitrick Haddon and Voices Of Unity.\O/ The music of Deitrick Haddon and VOU has a variety of music sounds focused on lifting up the name of Jesus. Pick up the CD and see for yourself. God Bless.

I DON'T GIVE TOO MANY REVIEWS ON MUSIC CAUSE I DON'T FIND TOO MANY GOSPEL CD'S THAT REALLY CAPTURE ME LIKE THAT....BUT THIS JOINT RIGHT HERE....YO...THE BLEND OF THE TIGHT LYRICS PRAISING OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR FIRST AND FOREMOST COMBINED WITH THE LOVELY TRACKS IS A MUST HAVE I'M TELLIN YOU...WHETHER RIDIN DOWN THE BLOCK OR LOUNGIN IN YA CRIB OR IF YOU IN THE MOOD TO DANCE, BAG THIS CD FA SHOW!! MY BOY JUST LET ME HEAR IT LAST NIGHT, AND I'M ON MY WAY TO THE STORE AS SOON AS I GET OFF THE INTERNET... THE ALBUM COVER THREW ME OFF...IT DON'T LOOK NOTHIN LIKE A GOSPEL CD....MY BOY TOLD ME HE FOUND IT IN THE R&B SECTION...(YOU KNOW CATS IN MUSIC STORES DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DOIN!!) BE BLESSED AND ENCOURAGED AS YOU LIFT THE NAME OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST!!! YA HEARD!!! PEACE..

As a Haddon Family fan, I bought this CD knowing it was going to be a blessing, but now how much of one until I popped the CD in. WHOA, WHOA, WHOA is all I can say!!! This CD has been blowing me away every since I popped it in at home. I walked around the house dancin, singing bobbin' my head, enjoyin' the tight lyrics, and shakin' it to Jesus!! This is that CD I was lookin' for to jam to on the weekends with my girls, riding around town, or going out with my boyfriend. This is the CD that lets you know you don't have to turn off the gospel and turn on the secular music stations to get some tight beats, and sounds these days. I am so happy that there's artists like Deitrick and his wife, Tonex, Mary Mary & Montrell Darrett (sp) that make you proud to be a young college aged Christian in this world of sex, money, and everything goes!!! I think that this CD is very tight, and needs way better marketing than it has to let others know it's out. I just happened to stumble across it online, and praise God I did!! I would be willin' to market this CD myself here in Detroit, it's a must have for young college aged students, highschool students or anybody else that is actually being real about their spirituality!!!

This CD is without a doubt a classic and truly awesome, giving praise to the only living God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Check out the Isley remix of Raptured Away, very very nice, and true ;) My favorite is Supernatural, it's got the old Michael Jackson flavor electrified with righteousness! This is getting major air-play in my Honda!!

I love detrick Haddon's music, and i especially loved the chainbreaker cd, but every song, with the exception of number four, wasn't meeting the quota. Mabye his next cd will be good, but this one was disappointing for 16. Don't take it personally, i still love the brother's music.
