James Fortune & FIYA - Encore

James Fortune understands that if you`re going to preach redemption in the 21st century, you`re going to have to make a production of it, and his albums are a bit like urban gospel hip-hop soul revues all done up in show-biz style on Broadway, complete with Fortune`s spoken, sung, and shouted encouragement. Encore follows suit, with guest spots from the likes of Kierra `KiKi` Sheard, J. Drew Sheard, Isaac Caree, Canton Jones, and Erica Cumbo, and the energy and passion never ebb. It`s all big, bold, and positive, and tracks like `It Was You` and the undeniably funky `Holy Ghost Holiday` have the rhythmic punch of urban dancefloor hits. Fortune understands what he`s doing. If you start dancing and singing, then maybe you`ll start listening to the message, too. Call it 21st century gospel -- Fortune does it as well as anyone. ~ Steve Leggett
