"Where Hope Remains" by By Design (Spiritual Artist from Atlanta, Georgia(GA))

An eclectic menu of music is found in "Where Hope Remains" from By Design, five talented and beautiful ladies of faith. Opening track "Shout Your Fame" with its pop-inspiration message begins a journey of fantastically produced and performed music. Each and every subsequent song envelopes the listener, as "My Redeemer Lives" picks up the pace, and is one song we deem a favorite. All songs are superb and we cannot get enough of this music for your soul, uplifting spirits, and moving you into God's presence By Design! A cappella harmony delights in "Revive Us Again", which resounds and becomes our absolute favorite song on this generous CD. Fans of Nicole C. Mullen, Point of Grace, and Zoey Girl will love this fresh and fashionable group!

“Six Pointed Star” by Tania Shana Yegelwel (Spiritual Artist from Florida(FL))

The "Six Pointed Star" CD-single by Tania Shana Yegelwel is a chilling and heart-wrenching song that pays tribute to the millions whose lives were taken during the Holocaust. Taking a very literal and straight-forward lyrical approach, this song proudly declares "I wear around my neck this six pointed star, for the six million, remember who they are." Musically, this single assumes an easy listening sound. Beautiful piano, string, and flute arrangements set to a backdrop of a native drum beat gives this song a very interesting edge that nicely accompanies Tania's strong vocals. Additionally, the background vocals are skillfully placed and add a very real sense of depth and emotion. To top things off, "Six Pointed Star" flaunts top notch production, making this song a very effective and professional tribute.

"Journey of Life" by Charles Laster II and Silvia Pratesi (Spiritual Artist from Italy)

Charles Laster II and Silvia Pratesi combine elegantly in "Journey Of Life," reminiscent of the true blending of spirit and music. We notice immediately the Motown influences in the vocal harmonies and style of the soloist in the title-track "Journey Of Life". Trumpets bring to life the message in "I Believe" along with an incredibly talented rap section. Production is clear and not overdone, while the songs are written with precision and care for each word. Gentle piano forces one's ear to feel the words even stronger in our favorite "True Love." This CD will certainly uplift and inspire listeners.

"Overshadow Me" by Annie Karto (Spiritual artist from Florida (FL))

Filled with 11 wonderful songs, "Overshadow Me" takes a spirit-filled journey into the lovely Annie Karto's heart. As a bonus, four songs reprise at the end as instrumentals, which gave us time to reflect and cherish those songs completely. The music on the CD fills the heart and soul. Karto truly has a gift of singing, and her songwriting reflects a divine desire to provide the world with God's message of love. Sincere phrases, beautiful musicianship, and Annie's melting delivery take the listener of this CD on a musical mission. We are sure the softly spoken prayers and beautiful melodies of "God My Father" and "I Am Yours" will remain long in your soul even after the song is over. We've become an instant fan of this CD. If you enjoy beautiful acoustic spiritual music, you will too.

"Peace Be Still" by Will McGowan (Gospel artist from Austin, Texas (TX))

"Peace Be Still" is a delight of pure and raw faith, beginning with the upbeat praise song "Get Up And Praise Him" all the way to his soulful rendition of "The Lord's Prayer." The production and musicianship on ths CD are top notch. Will McGowan demonstrates his strong R&B vocal style throughout the CD, which is also filled with very tasteful backing harmonies. Will allows us to peek into his own spiritual-being in the title cut "Peace Be Still," where his soulfulness is at it's peak. His very hip "My Redeemer Lives" will reach out and grab the youthful movement, who are so much in need of this type of outreach and acceptance. We believe McGowan certainly hits the mark when it comes to witness, and his testimony in song belongs in your collection of spiritual, gospel, or praise music.
