Bishop Eddie L. Long Presents: the NewBirth Total Praise Choir | A New Beginning
Ready to get yo Praise On! Well here it is….
Bishop Eddie L. Long presents the NewBirth Total Praise Choir.This latest album is entitled “A New Beginning“. Let me tell you, no one does it quite like Bishop Long does. He has a way of ushering in the Spirit of God, stimulating our minds and souls, and stirring up the Spirit in us, all at the same time. While delivering the Word of God with such tenacity and zeal, it is no wonder why NewBirth is a church on the move. Such unity; such harmony; truly evident throughout the entire album. They absolutely have a leader that is to be reckoned with!
Produced and Arranged by Kevin Bond, it is clear that he has been given free reign to do as the spirit leads. Having worked with this choir for four years, there is a certain maturity that is sensed throughout this recording. The arrangement is superb, with the album starting off with a sermonette by Bishop Long entitled “God Starts With a Dreamer” Pt.1. With the intensity we have become accustomed to from Bishop Long, three other parts from the same sermonette are arranged on this album in such a timely fashion it leaves you with an expectation of more. As a side note, order that series ‘God Starts With a Dreamer’; it will truly bless your soul.
‘Total Praise Choir’!!!; that’s right! Total Praise contained in this album. With a consistent blend of altos and sopranos there’s no putting this album away. You’ll play it for hours. There is no one track that really stands out, but tracks 11 & 12 are the toe tappin’ head boppers! Praise as well as worship are showcased in this album. So let the Spirit move you and prepare to be blessed.
“Yesterday is gone And tomorrow is new. Everything that’s gone undone, Now its time for you to do. Look forward to a brighter day And a great expected end, Its a new day and a new beginning, Its a new day and a new beginning….”
