"When it comes to the ministry of Israel, there are no words to describe how mightily he allows the Lord to use him. This CD is no exception. His vocals which are always amazing, the message which is always clear and creatively conveyed and the instrumentalists & musical arrangements which are always masterful & outstanding, put this CD in a class all its own. His style and skillfulness celebrate the uniqueness that God gives to an individual. Collaborating with his bride, Meleasa, to compose some of the songs on this CD only proves to be a marriage made in heaven! Also, having the crew from Andraé Crouch's backing vocalists puts the icing on the cake (and the others are equally as wonderful). You will undoubtedly know "All That Matters" is seeking Jesus and hearing Him speak to you. Every song is a blessing. If you liked the CD "New Season" (and I haven't heard of anyone who didn't), you will love "Real." I guess I said all of this to say that I'm speechless!The purpose of praise and worship is accomplished through the music which exemplifies the magnificence of the Lord and brings to Him a gift that He is so deserving of. This CD is just in time--It will cover everyone on my Christmas list--one size fits all & satisfaction guaranteed! I am REAL happy and REAL-LY encouraged! Thank you, Patrice, for pre-ordering this CD for my birthday (sorry you didn't get yours first!)."

Tommy Sims does it again!!!!

"WOW.......That's what I thought when I first heard this CD. I had only heard of Israel & New Breed fleetingly (my sister would go on & on about them and I didn't know what the big deal was), but that was before I liked to worship. If you love to worship The Lord, get their first CD. If you wanna hear a CD with an Andrae Crouch/Earth Wind & Fire mix, with worship thrown in, get this CD. The album had the help of mastermind Tommy Sims (click on my name to see my take on his debut album), he was the guy behind CeCe Winans Everlasting Love CD. He actually wrote the song "Everlasting Love". Anyway, he was responsible for the Andrae Crouch/Earth Wind & Fire vocal arrangement, and wrote some songs on this album. The guy's phenomenal.



Every song on this album is great. When you hear the first song "Better", then you'll know what I'm talking about when I say the CD has a Andrae Crouch/Earth Wind & Fire feel. "Bout It, Bout It" is one of the funkiest gospel songs I've heard in a while. My favourite ,"Go Back", is a slow ballad speaking about coming back to the Lord as our true first love. Excellent! "Dont Want To Leave/I Still Love You" is a medley and I just love the way one song slides into another so effortlessly.



I could go right down the list and say good about every song, because the album is THAT GOOD! Your collection is not complete without this album."

Israel & New Breed have done it again!

"While this CD doesn't quite measure up to New Season, it's still very good. The first several songs have a R&B flavor but the message is still clear to those who have an ear to hear. After you get past the Real track, Israel and New Breed once again usher us into the Holy of Holies with Nothing Else Matters, Go Back, The Weight of Your Glory, Magnificant & Holy and Don't Want to Leave. I thank God for this music ministry and I'll continue to pray for and support these anointed muscians!"
