Greg O'Quin 'N Joyful Noyze Conversations
The
music industry has this seemingly deadly term that all artists seek to
avoid....the sophomore jinx. Undoubtedly, O'Quin avoids, abolishes,
and eradicates this thought with a fresh and exciting project titled Conversations.
This 13-track set is certainly designed for true R&B, urban fans with
a touch of the traditional flair. O'Quin enlists the help of his Noyze
Faktory and the heir apparent to the gospel hip-hop throne, James
Moss (aka J. Moss) on this project and it hits the mark.
The urban edge on this new project is unmistakable. There are several hot
spots on this album that are guaranteed to make a definite mark on the
industry. In particular, O'Quin and company do a scintillating rendition
of the Isley Brothers classic, "For the Love of You". Ironically
on this cut, J. Moss does an awesome rap, prolifically states his opinion
of secular artists who do gospel cuts on their secular albums. O'Quin,
along with Moss, keep a fresh, progressive sound that will certainly open
the ears to a brand new sound in urban gospel. Not one to forget the traditional
roots of the genre, O'Quin's traditional ballads will certainly challenge,
uplift, and encourage its listeners to another level of relationship with
Christ. Indeed, Conversations is a definite winner and should
be the album to put Greg O'quin 'N Joyful Noyze on the map for a long time
to come.
