The challenge for Christian artists has always been how to incorporate attractive worldly sounds without losing their ministry and the anointing. That's where SP comes up strong. Now on Soul Food , they've kept the message and changed the beats in effort to deliver the Word through the music. The first track, Praise On , is about inviting a friend to a party, and upon arrival, the friend finds the party is at a church, so he begins circling the block deciding whether or not to come in. The funky guitar and bumping rhythms by Terry Bolden launch you into a praise feast.
Christians can be real and have fun too.
Although SP has brought some innovative dishes to the table, they've also brought the familiar in Tell Them, Thank You and Real Love . These tracks fuse silhouettes of Andra Crouch, Richard Smallwood, Edwin and Walter Hawkins and earlier Kirk Franklin sounds with the same mature lyrical approach used on their more urban material. SP is about keeping it real and they do it with a distinctive sound. No stale food here, this one's fresh and good for the soul. Join our mailing list to find out what's new in gospel.
