Must Have!, March 24, 2007
This project contains what every gospel album should have. Hope. I felt lifted after one listen. The live atmosphere, along with the big personality from such a tiny person like Maurette, is married together in way that that the two previous studio albums have not. If you like Maurette's music now...after a couple listens of this CD you will LOVE IT! Anthony Brown & Answered Prayers's soaring vocals and harmonies take a cue from Richard Smallwood but then are transformed into something fresh, new, and optimistic. Standouts include Sovereign God, One God, The Dream (awesome), It Ain't Over, and Has God Done Anything for You.

Maurette's Best Album Yet!, March 23, 2007
If you are looking for a CD to minister to your heart and meet you where you are, this CD is definitely a must have! Maurette has really outdone herself with this live project! Backed by her faithful background singers and local ensemble, Anthony Brown & Answered Prayers from the Baltimore area, the vocals are superb! For this CD, Maurette has top-notch production and worked with accomplished producer Asaph Ward. The first single from the CD is One God...this will definitely be the church anthem of 2007 and will be sung by praise and worship teams all over! Also, be sure to check out the title track The Dream penned by Brown Clark. This song is very touching and truly captures the very heart of Maurette and her ministry. Another stand out track on the album is Sovereign God. This song proclaims that no matter how difficult our situation is that God is bigger than all our problems. Listen to this track and you will definitely be encouraged about anything that you are going through! Other tracks that are guaranteed to minister and uplift are It Ain't Over, My Heart Has Been Restored, and Alright. Maurette also does a jazz influenced remake of the classic hymn I Have Decided to Follow Jesus and puts her own original spin on it. This album has something on it for everybody and the rock influenced track Has He Done Anything for You? is a testament to that! This high energy track will have you pressing the repeat button over and over and rocking along with the CD! Also be sure to check out I Am What God Says I Am featuring Maurette's daughter, Jada Clark (remember this little girl's name...she's destined to be a star!!) She proclaims that she can be all that God says she can be! Lord We Praise Your Name is another standout track featuring the smooth, heartfelt vocals of Maurette's twin brother, Maurice Brown. Towards the end Maurette joins him and sprinkles the song with adlibs as only Maurette can!
Overall, this is a great buy! If you enjoy praise & worship, uplifting music, and music that really ministers, Go get it today....you WILL NOT be disappointed!

What A Dream, March 27, 2007
As far as I am concerned, "The Dream" by Maurette Brown Clark is the first "must have" release of 2007 and it will undoubtedly find a place in my annual reflection of my favorite projects of the year.
Though Maurette is a dear friend of mine, I will not allow partiality to dictate this review. What is presented to you and I, on this project, is simply a collection of musical compositions potent enough to brighten anyone's day. That's all. No fluff! No stuff! Just ministry! The Princess of Praise, as she is known by many nowadays, opens this 16 track live recording with a rousing and affirmative song called "One God." I can easily gauge from the intensity of her vocal expression here, that each and every composition ministered to her personally, prior to her unleashing this blessing on us. Four songs on this effort are directly from Maurette's spirit (and pen). The very capable Asaph Ward also lends his production expertise to "The Dream" and the incomparable Professor Richard Smallwood even penned a song here for his student. A huge applause must also be given to the voices backing up Maurette on this project; they are absolutely excellent and quite a compliment to Maurette. I especially enjoyed "Sovereign God" and her testimony serving as the title track, "The Dream." Other faves include, "My Heart Has Been Restored", "I Decided to Follow Jesus" and the vocal debut of Jada Simone Clark, her daughter, on the selection, "I Am What God Says I Am."
In closing, to Maurette Brown Clark I say: Thank you for sharing your "Dream" with us.
