KAREN CLARK SHEARD THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING

Release Date:07/08/2004 Discs:1 Label: ELEKTRA /ASYLIM CONDITION : NEW STOCK STATUS:SHIPS IN 24 To 48 Hrs. Karen Clark-Sheard arguably has one of the best voices in the music industry. I've been a fan of hers since 1997, and her voice, words, and power continues to amaze me. Being the son of a gospel singer myself, and also singing gospel music myself, she's definetly someone to look up to, because she has an awe-inspiring voice. "The Heavens Are Telling," CD is GREAT to me. It was good for her to do some live songs, because she sings and sounds so much better live than compared to the studio tracks she had on her last album, "2nd Chance." (WHICH WAS ALSO ANOTHER GREAT ALBUM TOO!) My favorite song on the CD is probably, "I Owe." Though, it does remind me A LOT of Kirk Franklin's, "Hosanna," I think it was good for her to take an already great melody, and flip it to her style - and she tears it up flawlessly, as usual. I love the duet she does with Kierra Sheard on, "You Loved Me." First, Karen does that echo effect, which I think NO singer can top. Then at the end, Kierra comes in (and her voice reminded me of Beyonce a lil' bit) and she sucessfully fulfills what I call "The Clark Growl" - a singing trait I've only heard Karen and Twinkie Clark conquer. Another great song to me is, "Praise Up." It's an awesome song to bump while you driving to work, or to school. But, no matter what song it is on the CD, they're all great. From the slow and deep, "God Is Here," to the Youthy sound of, "Go Ahead," feat. Missy Elloitt. This CD soothes me when I feel bad, and I think she has something for everyone to hear. So being a big fan of Karen, I believe that everyone should grab this CD and see what "The Heavens Are Telling." Reviewer: Kevin Entzminger - Hampton, Virginia, USA **USUALLY SHIPS IN 24 To 48 HRS.
