Synopsis

Amazon.com's Best of 1999
On her major-label debut, accomplished singer Yolanda Adams effortlessly mixes the sounds of deep gospel soul and smooth R&B with contemporary jazz and rap. Not just updating black gospel music, she fearlessly revives it with contemporary music--and not in any hokey way, mind you--and a timeless, unassailably intense spirituality. --Mike McGonigal

CD Reviews

EXPLOSIVE! RIVETING! PROVOKING! ANOINTED!
J.L.Brown | USA | 12/30/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Yolanda Adams is without a doubt the leading Female Gospel Artist of this time! I sat and watched as she's grown vocally, emotionally, musically and spiritually through each of her projects. Her latest project Mountain High, Valley Low is probably the best gospel project I've heard in quite some time. Some of the standout selections are the popish Yeah, the tender Fragile Heart, the moving That Name, the Soul-stirring In the Midst of It all, a great duet with the right message (w/Kelly Price) He'll Arrive, the man himself Fred Hammond produced the rockin' Continual Praise and the rockin' closer Already Alright. Not only is it filled with a variety of musical styles but the lyrics are exceptional, the music itself is uplifting and inspiring, she is definitely singing and more importantly, she has received a spiritual endowment from the Lord (anointing) for such a time as this. Very few gospel artist projects have good packaging, good lyrics, good singing, good production and the anointing of God. That a five-fold project that very few have. However, Mrs. Adams-Crawford is the exception and I whole heartedly agree with Amazon.com. I'm happy that they have chosen her to be Artist of the Year. I just hope that those persons in charge of the Grammy Ballot has not overlooked Mrs. Adams-Crawford again. This is the project that's going to reach the masses, grab the grammy, minister to the saints and those who do not attend church. I cannot close without mentioning her live performances (Donny and Marie, Soul Train Christmasfest, Showtime at the Apollo). They have been exceptional! It's marvelous to know that mainstream is no longer associating Gospel Music with Kirk Franklin or the Winans Family (who I appreciate too) because there is a heap of rich talent in the industry and Yolanda Adams is certainly leading the pack. Ladies and Gentlemen, I urge you to purchase this cd and allow it to speak into your life. It will encourage you, it will provoke you to think on the goodness of Jesus and it will bring in a spirit of fun and laughter into the atmosphere and it's just a good piece of work. Yolanda, God Bless You and stay in the Will of the Lord. For He has indeed set you aside for such a time as this and the best is truly yet to come."
Yolanda Adams' Greatest Hits
TeBorah White | Denton,Texas | 03/03/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"When a most people think of Yolanda Adams' Greatest Hits, they think of "The Battle is the Lord's," and "While Riding Through the Storm." When I think of Yolanda Adam's greatest hits, I think of "Mountain High...Valley Low." This album is by far one of the best, if not the best, collections of song Ms. Adams has ever put forth. With songs that praise the Lord as well as songs that teach us how to love one another, "Mountain High...Valley Low" will truly bless anyone who listens to it."
Yolanda's Music Soars To Great Heights!
Don Juan Banks | Philadelphia, PA | 12/13/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

""Mountain High, Valley Low" is one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard. Yolanda gives you both contemporary and some traditional flavor. I had the pleasure of interviewing Yolanda on my radio show in Philadelphia. She's gorgeous, humble and truly annointed. Some of my favorite cuts include "Yeah", and up-tempo energetic and fun song. "That Name" allows Yolanda to really show her vocal range. "In The Midst Of It All" is the ultimate testimonial song. And for you R&B fans there's "Open My Heart". This is a smooth, gorgeous ballad. It reminds you of Luther Vandross' "Love Won't Let Me Wait". "Mountain High, Valley Low" makes an excellent addition to your CD collection. Give it a listen...Trust me, you'll love it!"
