Off Da Hook!!!

"You go anointedwilson ... now that's what I'm talkin' about. These women of God have done an excellent job with this new CD and I did not expect anything different. This CD actually deserves more than 5 stars but, since it's the highest rating for Amazon.Com, that's what I am going to give it.(To add a note about them being a trio, they did not GET RID OF anyone. The first member left the group to pursue family life and education, the second member left for the same reasons. The fourth member to leave, Negelle Sumter participated on this CD. Both departures were done amicably and all members of Virtue, past and present, are still really good friends).Now back to the CD review - as I stated in my title, the CD is OFF DA HOOK!!! The entire CD is excellent, but I do have my favorites: He's Been Good (both versions), Great is Thy Faithfulness, You've Been Merciful, Till You Believe, God Is Your Source, I Am God, and Down on My Knees.If you have not purchased this CD yet, go and get it. You will not be disappointed.To Virtue - may God continue to bless you and your ministry. You guys have done an outstanding job."

Contemporary Gospel has Arrived!

"Musically, this album is every bit as good as anything you could expect from one of todays top Jazz or R&B acts. Despite the lush grooves and amazing production, this album gives all the glory to GOD. Unlike some other contemporary gospel artist that aren't always clear about whom they are singing, these girls are scripture quoting, holy spirit led, servants of the lord Jesus Christ. Although I enjoyed their last two releases, this album truly speaks to everyone of us who struggles the be the man or woman that God has called us to be. If you don't buy another gospel album this year (O.K. maybe Donnie McKlurkin,Darwin Hobbs, and Spiritual Pieces), You have got to buy this album."

Virtuosity - A Landmark for the Virtuous Ladies

"I have been a long time Virtue fan, and I must say that this album deeply blessed me when I first heard it two years ago. Although there have been changes in their lineup (Shavonne and Negelle moved on to pursue other aspirations and be closer to their families), but their mission to praise Jesus and encourage Christians remains the same. Karima and Ebony continue to deliver outstanding vocals, and the addition of Heather helps to add depth to their high soaring vocals. All in all, the Trotter girls have more than enough talent and skill to take Virtue to the next level.Stand out songs include "Till You Believe", "He's Been Good", and "Down on My Knees". However, every song has something special to share with the listener. One thing I like about Virtue is that their music often shows both the highs and the lows of the Christian experience. This is evidenced by the "God is Your Source" song which begins, "I'll never pray again . . .". That's keeping in real! That's dealing with the human weakness with which every Christian struggles. Yet, they never leave you in the valley because eventually God's mountaintop will be displayed.Their new CD "Free" is out August 19th, 2003. I will definitely purchase it to see where these amazing women will take us next."
