5.0 out of 5 stars Wanted more of 'J' and less of 'they', but still worth the wait, April 7, 2007

This review is from: V2: The Voice Returns (Audio CD)

After an 8-month delay, we have the highly-anticipated follow up to J's debut.

The solo tracks are what people that love the first album were waiting for. The lyrics, musical variety, golden vocals and overall musicianship are carried over in full effect here, and really could be a Volume II of the first project. The special effects are used more on the vocals here but it doesn't matter because a) we all know J can really sing, and b) it always enhances rather than distracts.

What may be jarring to some people that loved J's first effort are the number of guest artists this time around. All are powerhouses, but they really don't do anything special and the songs themselves are more "typical" rather than being creative like you would expect from Brother J. Even cousin Karen Clark-Sheard, as amazing as she is, barely makes an appearance on the track she's a "guest" on. So what's the point? Marketing? You got it! But that's the music biz, and spiritual music is not exempt.

Still, AS A WHOLE this really is a 5-star effort from one of the brightest talents on the inspirational music scene today. Will it hold up as well as the first one? I think so. I also think that the inclusion of some of the guest artists will expose J's ministry to people that may not have otherwise heard about him.

Case in point: "I'm Not Perfect" with Anthony Hamilton is an ideal example of what a "crossover" song should be. It's not preachy, but it's real and the truth is not watered down one bit. Thank God, Brother J has a remarkable talent for conveying Bible truths in ways that are sensible, rational and sincere. That is refreshing in a time when so many gospel artists go for the beat and "dance all night" lyrics only. (What is gospel music supposed to be about again?)

V2 is all good and belongs in your collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Spiritual Bomb!! Like it or not..., May 9, 2007

J. Moss does it again.. In true J. Moss form!
This CD is just as tight as the first one. Yeah, some people might have heard it & didn't feel it.. that's fine. This is not made for everyone to like it. Believe it or not, God has a purpose for everything He puts His hands upon. Everyone may not see or share that purpose... but, God does.. & so does J. Moss!
Uncomprimised, truth-filled, anointed contemporary Gospel music with a message for the young, as well as the not-so-young (i'm 40).
If you loved the last CD, I suggest you grab this one...

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, but "autotune" overused, April 18, 2007

This is an overall good cd. I would have preferred if J let his "voice" shine through and used a little less autotune. He sounds like a computer on some of the songs. The lyrics are excellent. I definitely recommend this cd.
