| | Smokie Norful Nothing Without You CD Smokie Norful Discography of CDs
 (5 Customer Reviews)
Smokie Norful found instant success in 2002 with his blend of classic R&B and gospel inspirations, scoring a Number One gospel album with his debut I NEED YOU NOW and the crossover hit of the same name. Two years later, with that album still outselling most other contemporary gospel records and his song still receiving frequent play on R&B radio, Norful attempts to repeat that success with sophomore effort NOTHING WITHOUT YOU.
Norful opens on the strongest of notes with a worthy follow-up to his 2002 surprise hit; "Power" boasts a funky bassline and horns straight-out of the mid-70's Stevie Wonder playbook while Norful's malleable voice masterfully moves up and down the scales on a sweet, yet groovy song of hope. On "Worthy," he proves himself equally capable of more traditional gospel as he ably engages in call-and-response revival with a lively chorus. Norful is impressive in the manner in which he can fluidly switch moods, incorporating everything from R. Kelly/Babyface-style smooth R&B balladry to an edgier blues sound in his mix. With NOTHING WITHOUT YOU, Norful confirms his ability to create gospel songs that gospel and R&B fans can enjoy equally.
Personnel: Smokie Norful (vocals, piano); Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Darrel Petties (vocals); Victor Caldwell, Cedric Caldwell (various instruments); Paul Jackson, Jr. , Al Willis (guitar); Steve Patrick (trumpet); Tim Bailey (organ); Tavarius Johnson (drums).

Nothing Without You album
 $8.99   
Reflecting the thin line between sacred and secular music that's particularly prevalent in the world of soul, THE FIGHTING TEMPTATIONS soundtrack modernizes this dichotomy, which has been tackled by legends like Prince, Sam Cooke, and Al Green. Given that the film's story is based on a plot about a crooked ad exec forming a choir in order to collect an inheritance, there's plenty of gospel music packed into these 15 songs. The legendary Shirley Caesar wrote and performs on both "I'm Getting Ready," an uplifting solo showcase for Sounds of Blackness mouthpiece Ann Nesby, and the equally stirring "The Stone," which features the two ladies doing some major roof-raising. With Matthew Knowles serving as the executive soundtrack album producer, it's no surprise that daughter Beyonce is the star of the film and a featured performer throughout this collection. When Beyonce's not tearing up the party jam "Fighting Temptation" alongside Missy Elliott, MC Lyte, and Free, she's tucking into the slow jam "I Know" with day job Destiny's Child and flying solo on fine interpretations of "Fever" and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot." Other stellar covers include Faith Evans ...

| | Kurt Carr One Church CD (2004)
Nothing Without You album
$8.99
The opening track, "Reign," at first seems a familiar contemporary gospel tune (a la Kirk Franklin), but then the jazzy keyboard lines meld with swirling pop synthesizers for an original touch. On "God Great God," Carr proposes throwing out all denominations (hence "one church") with ardent shouts filled with passion and glory. Rarely afraid to travel unknown roads, Carr asks "Have you ever heard an accordion in church?" on "Psalm 68 (Let Our God Arise)," before throwing in a Spanish guitar for good measure. The resultant track is a magnificent song that switches directions for ...

The second disc unfolds a bit more unpredictably, as McClurkin breaks into impromptu medleys and leads a playful discussion about spreading the gospel to the world. In addition to multilingual ...

This CD was recorded in the original RCA studios in 1992, her first for Chesky Records. It includes some of her finest originals, ...
