This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Yolanda Adams is one of the shining lights of the modern gospel movement. Here, she sings mostly contemporary gospel ballads, which draw stylistically from smooth jazz and soul music. Adams's work has as much in common with the oeuvre of Oleta Adams, Anita Baker, and other pop singers as with the traditional gospel of decades past. "The Good Shepherd" is a stunning, rubato ballad that features jazzy chords, rich string arrangements, and Adams's silky yet powerful voice. "Praise Your Holy Name" is more upbeat and funky. On this track, Adams trades vocal riffs with a male backing vocalist. Further, her bluesy vocal musings are complemented by dance-oriented electronic loops. "Let Thy Will Be Done" is another potent song of worship centered on a taut keyboard arrangement and a relaxed drum groove. Overall, this music and Adams's voice are very uplifting. Her lyrics are not overly preachy, but the devotional elements are not obfuscated either. This album will inspire believers and entice casual listeners.
