Free Music Notes for Gospel According to Patti Labelle
Free Music Review: Patti's Generosity is Better Than The Material
Hit: 2 Stars
Patti Labelle's unusual and soaring voice certainly wasn't used to its fullest advantage on this much anticipated CD. She is constrained and set way, WAY down in the mix and doesn't sing the gospel as much as she does the inspirational thing with a couple of gospel singing celebrities. Perhaps a live turn with this singer and some more traditional material we could have been gifted with something that could compete with Aretha's and Gladys's gospel CD's. "Walk Around Heaven" is an old time gospel standard that needed to be beefed up. She softens it with a soft second soprano infused background that ruins the effect of the lyric. The duet with CeCe Winans (Walk Away) is interesting with its dialouge interplay between the two women. The best thing about this project is that the essence of the gospel message is seen (if not heard) in Patti's donation to cancer research. God Bless Patti Labelle for her grand gift. Musicaly, this is a major disappointment.Free Music Review: Patti's Gospel. . .Go live, Miss Patti. . .go live!!!

After reading what Patti has said in concert about not judging her, I respectfully withdraw my original comments about the album. As usual, Patti's big heart. . .and big mouth, win me over, no matter how much I might find lacking in her recordings. I strongly believe she should do a live gospel ablum/CD compilation a la "Going Home to Gospel."Free Music Review: You better buy one of her classic albums!

Ms. Patti can do and will do much better than this. This is just a cheaply produced quickie on a small label. She'll most likely be back with a decent fullblown product soon.Free Music Review: HUGE Disappointment

I have heard rumors about this album for a couple of years and was anxiously awaiting its release. What a HUGE let down. I have been a Patti Labelle fan forever and I cant remember ever not liking one of her CD's, but this one is just a huge MESS. I played it once and will probably file it away never to be listened to again. The ONLY song worth while is the first track, "Have You Prayed Today"...well Patti better pray this album sells is all I have to say! The rap selection with Kanye West is a total horrific mess! Why does she partner with these people?? He is a total THUG. She re-does "You Are My Friend", and I can't understand how she butchers a song that she made famous...but she does. I'm not sure what she was thinking...but this album is basically an hour long scream fest. Don't waste your money.Free Music Review: What a mess!!!

Patti Labelle who in her heyday could be an electrifying live performer for some strange reason almost always had a problem to bring the same level of excitement to her recordings. But nothing could have prepared me for this confused mess of a record here. Her return to Gospel after decades as an outrageous pop-diva is, if anything, halfhearted. This is neither a spiritual nor a particularly spirited album, it's third rate gospel-pop. Not only is much of the material totally uninspired, but one also has the feeling that it is only for marketing reasons or because she lost her mainstream recording deal that she is going the Gospel and the charity route here. By far the worst album I bought this year!
