Music reviews of Love & Freedom

Music Review: BeBe At His Best...
Rating: 5 Stars

Through many dangers, toils and snares he has already come, and it's been a long time coming but BeBe Winans is back and better than ever. His first released single "Coming Back Home", which features secular crooners Brian McKnight and Joe has raised up the Christian public's age old question about BeBe Winans... Is BeBe too secular? Personally I think that this is a silly and meaningless argument and that BeBe's relationship with God is between him and God, but I can't say I don't see where they're coming from. But, leaving that issue aside this album is BeBe's best!

The album starts off with the title track "Love And Freedom", a smooth yet rousing track that'll take you from sadness into bliss. The song is also highlighted by BeBe's out-of-this-world vocals. The album then continues into it's first single "Coming Back Home", which features secular crooners Brian McKnight and Joe and is about coming back to God, even though they don't say his name. Then there's the bumpin' "What About It" and the smooth velvety "I'm In Love With You", which features background from the Gospel boy band, The Katinas. Then there's the thought provoking "How Do We" the hot "Everything To Me", another one that shows off those phenomenal vocals. After that is "Everyday" a collaboration with Stephanie Mills, who's straddling the Gospel secular fence once again for the millionth time, "My Heart", produced by Warryn 'Babi Dubb' Campbell, a hot track, with hot background from Winans and Joi Campbell, but seems a little tame for Campbell's producing style. Then there's what we've all really been waiting for, the BeBe & CeCe Winans reunion on "Tonight Tonight", which is one of their best songs ever, together or apart. Then that 'Thank You', dance hall vibe is exhibited on track 10, "Brand New Dance", produced by Louie Vega and Kenny 'Dope'. After that is 'the' BeBe ballad of the album "For The Rest Of My Life", which can be about God or whoever you want 'you' to be. To end is the highly publicized collaboration with Stevie Wonder, redoing Stevie Wonder's "Jesus, Children Of America", which won instant acclaim after they performed it on The Oprah Winfrey Show. To end the album is a remake of Donnie McClurkin's "Stand", a song that we are all tired of, but still was good.

This album is hot! And shows all male contemporary Gospel soloists, what they should all aim to sound like.

Description of Love & Freedom

All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.
The USA may be founded on the principle of separation of church and state, but when Christian music artists attempt to cross over to the mainstream, it's hard to keep the lines from blurring. Chances are pretty good that when BeBe Winans--one half of the duet BeBe and CeCe and a member of the acclaimed Winans family--sings of everlasting love and devotion, he is giving a shout out to the Big Fella upstairs. But this CD works on a secular level as well. The devotion here is muted--certainly far from the raise-the-roof testifying associated with gospel music. Even a cover of "Jesus Children of America" (with its author, Stevie Wonder, on board) lacks the original's grit, fire, and spirit. Most of this pleasant but less-than-compelling CD sounds like Luther Vandross-lite, which isn't suprising since Vandross did many of the vocal arrangements. But unlike Luther, who could infuse even the most maudlin sentiment with some flair, BeBe, though a gifted singer, is not a unique one. Much of this well-intentioned and well-crafted CD fades into the background, making it suitable make-out music perhaps, but not the sort of joyful noise the Lord had in mind. --Amy Linden
