Free Music Review: WELCOME BACK YOLANDA!
Hit: 5 Stars
First of all, WOWZA! Welcome back Yolanda Adams. 4 Years - thought you retired...LOL! (smile everyone). Anywho, on to business. Yolanda has NEVER been the type of artist to place in a box. She's never been afraid to deal with issues on her cds. From the Through the Storm cd, she dealt with death on Forever with me...from the Save the Word cd, she dealt with homelessness on Save the Word and suicide on Give it to Him...from the More Than A Melody cd, she challenged us to consider the children...from the Songs From the Heart cd, she dealt with loneliness on Never Alone...from Mountain High, Valley Low she dealt with our everyday interactions with The Things We Do and on Believe she dealt with low-self esteem and pursuing your dreams on I Gotta Believe and Never Give Up respectively. Well, on DAY BY DAY, Yolanda tackles something we all have, PAIN! This cd is for those who have been through the storm, are in a storm or will be in one soon. Personally, this comes at a time when I'm facing one of the toughest seasons of my life and each song is ministering to me. Day By Day is arguably Yolanda's best (I'm torn between Mountain High, Valley Low and Through the Storm). Let's see where we begin.
Track One - VICTORY is the rocking contemporary gospel opener which reunites Yolanda with producer Gregory Curtis (produced God Will Take Care of You from Songs of the Heart and Just A Prayer Away from Through the Storm). This is tied for my favorite on the cd! From the time Yolanda sang it on TBN's Praise the Lord or from the time I saw the preview for the movie The Gospel, this song rings in my ear. It's a triumphant song that gets in your mind and challenges you to believe God at any cost!
Track Two - TONIGHT is penned and produced by Gospel Mega-Man Kirk Franklin. This is Yolanda's hopeville buddy. Lyrically and evangelistically, this is one of the best on the cd. It challenges you to seek the Lord and yield every area to Him. For anyone experiencing blockage in your walk with Jesus, I dedicate this to you. It's a mid-groove song that finds Yolanda's vocals soaring and the background singers are tight.
Track Three - SOMEONE WATCHING OVER YOU finds Yolanda working with Barry Eastmond and Gordon Chambers for the first time on wax! This is an urban AC song that is running up the secular charts. It deals with someone who's been hurt in relationships and it ministers to anyone who feels as if they are alone. Always, know that Jesus is watching over you.
Track Four - ALWAYSNESS relishes on the consistency of God. This borderline jazzy, contemporary gospel, ac song is lyrically beautiful and marvelously interpreted by Yolanda. The first appearance of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on this cd will surely be a repeat in my player. I love the fact that it points out God's consistency and faithfulness to us, even when we aren't to Him. Gee, I love Him!
Track Five - DAY BY DAY is yet another Gregory Curtis production. It's an urban ac mid-groove song that admonishes to keep the spirit of Christ with us daily. It provokes you subtly to stay focussed on Him no matter what happens in your everday living. It reminds you that with Him you can conquer anything.
Track Six - LIFT HIM UP is produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis you remember them, they worked on Open My Heart from (MH, VL) and and Never Give Up and I'm Gonna Be Ready from Believe. This is one of the best songs they've given Yolanda. It kind of reminds you of Joyful, Joyful from the Sister Act 2 soundtrack. A lively, fun-filled, upbeat, praise song that prompts you to do exactly that, LIFT HIM UP! You'll find yourself giving God praise and adoration as you rock that big head (LOL). Of course, it doesn't help at all that Donnie McClurkin and Mary Mary are on this one.
Track Seven - My other favorite song is IT'S GON BE NICE! This Shep Crawford produced song (I Gotta Believe and Fo' Sho' from Believe and I Believe I Can Fly from The Experience cds also) is my jam! It's on repeat 5 times a day! This hip hop groovy profession of faith of what you believe God's going to do is a faith stimulator! A true gem!
Track Eight - BE BLESSED! What can I say? You've heard it. The last song produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis has already become a number one single on Billboard Gospel Tracks and will be heard for a long time to come! Be Blessed, don't live life in distress...just let go, let God...
Track Nine - BETTER THAN GOLD is my least favorite song on the cd, yet I like it. Another collaboration with Barry Eastmond and Gordon Chambers (also Troy Taylor). A mild contemporary christian song speaks to how much Yolanda loves Him and that her love is better than gold itself. Very meditative and soft.
Track Ten - SHOW ME is the final appearance of Kirk Franlin's production on this cd! Wowza is what I have to say. My third favorite song on the project. This song speaks about the insecurities in us and us yielding them to the Lord so he can not only show us how to deal and overcome them but so that He can make us all over again. This contemporary gospel jewel was wonderfully written, brilliantly ministered by Yolanda and nicely produced. Again, those background singers!
Track Eleven - I'M GRATEFUL is what song of my friends don't like but I love it. A nice upbeat rhythm and praise/contemporary gospel mix produced by Mike City (A Song of Faith and Unconditional producer on Believe). It pushes us to remember the basics of life...like health, strength, food, shelter, the goodness of the Lord. Great move!
Track Twelve - THIS TOO SHALL PASS is what Yolanda sang last year on BET's Celebration of Gospel and on this years Lou Rawls educational telethon in January! Produced by Whitney Houston's former musical director, Rickey Minor, this is Yolanda live yet studio. Why? Because it has that big musical production that she gives live but it's tastely done. Lyrically, no matter what you're faced with daily know that THIS TOO SHALL PASS!
In closing, arguably one of Yolanda's best cds, if not the best. It's not like any of her others, it's better. Some say they are tired of gospel singers (including Yolanda) belting, well here, she's singing beautifully. Friends and fans of Yolanda, purchase this cd for others and sow into their lives. They'll be blessed and so will you by this...a project whose lyrics are wisely written and Biblically based, where a spirit of Victory and peace reign and a one SAAANNNGGG by Yolanda. In a time, where so much is going on, the timeliness of this project is right on! To all those affected by Hurricane Katrina, take it DAY BY DAY! Welcome back Yolanda!
Day By Day Poster
Day By Day is Yolanda Adams' truest testimonial of perseverance and faith to date. Inspirational messages, mixed with melody and praise, this album promises to be a record you will treasure. From "Alwaysness" and "Be Blessed", both produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, to title track "Day By Day," Yolanda takes you through a journey of life.It is possible that there are singers alive today with more passion, conviction and beauty than Yolanda Adams working in gospel today, but it's doubtful. It's been a full four years since the glory-giving soprano has released a new album of her own music, and it's actually worth the wait. The banging funk tunes are tight and righteous, while the ballads will knock you clean off your feet. There are a host of guest artists on Day By Day?Mary Mary, Kirk Franklin, Donnie McClurkin, and others, as well as a half dozen of the hottest producers around. And all of that is cool, but none of them are really that necessary. This woman truly has been blessed with enormous talent, and she uses it judiciously and wisely. In fact, Day By Day is easily the best contemporary gospel album of 2005. --Mike McGonigal
