Music reviews of The Power of One
Music Review: Missing "ONE" song!
Rating: 4 Stars
I fell in love with Israel & New Breed because they were the first group that I remember making music that couldn't be classified as "Christian" vs. "Gospel" or "White" vs. "Black" music. It was simply "KINGDOM MUSIC", and it was sung in predominantly black and white churches! Their worship in particular just was undignified and they seemed to quite simply cry out to worship God through song. With this CD being a Israel Houghton "solo" project I didn't know what to expect. In particular because I was not impressed at all with "Real" - his first solo project.
"The Power of One" is NOT the typical Israel & New Breed, so if you're looking for that then this album "may" dissappoint you. It has enough great quality songs that it is DEFINITELY worth supporting. I can't see anything Israel does not being quality... I think he saw this solo album as a chance to do something different. As I said before in my review of "A Deeper Level", I can't get with the "Rock" sounding songs on here like "U R Loved", "I Receive", "Sing Redemption's Song" & "You Found Me". That's just TOO far away from the Israel & New Breed style I know and love, its not what he's know for or what has made him so succesful...can't get with it - sorry! (Please don't be carnal - I know its Christ that's made him a success) Great lyrics, great content, I just don't like the SOUND!
"Everywhere That I Go" is tight and sounds like vintage "Israel & New Breed" praise & worship...its the kind of song I thought the album would be filled with.
I'm feeling "Just Wanna Say", its different and has that "Rock" style and flow to it, but its mixed with the Israel & New Breed Sound we all know and love so its easier to adapt to. It feels like Tye & G.A.'s "So Amazing"!
"Surely Goodness" is a tight song...I really like the change of style, he really did a good job implementing that Jamaican feel in the song.
I "LOVE" the "Moving Forward" versions on Free Chapel's CD, and Hezekiah Walker's, but I don't like the way Israel began this song. It sounds too much like a ballad...but he jazzes it up in the end and I like it. THIS SONG IS INCREDIBLE OVERALL, I mean people you really have to listen to this song, it is a tremendous blessing to the Body of Christ. I introduced this song to bring in the New Year and my church family has fallen in love with it...P&W leaders/teams should really add this to their roster of music.
"Every Prayer" is really the closest you get (along w/Moving Forward and the medley at the end) to a worship song! I LOVE the song...no problems with it at all but my thing is this. When was the last time you saw an album with no VINTAGE WORSHIP SONG from Israel??? I mean "You've Won My Affection" on New Season, "Here I Am To Worship" on Another Level, "To Worship You I Live" on Live in South Africa, & "If Not For Your Grace" on A Deeper Level...where is the "ONE" song from Israel that just captures your heart and ushers you into the presence of God?!?!?! Maybe it was meant to be "Moving Forward" - but frankly I like the previous 2 already released versions better than the one on this album. Israel is the only one that does an inversion at the end - WHICH I LOVE, but overall it just isn't as good as the previous versions.
Overall...I like the album and I'm glad I bought it, but I just miss the Israel & New Breed sound I've become accustomed to. I encourage you to support Israel's ministry - you'll be blessed, just don't go expecting Israel "And New Breed".
