Beautiful arrangement! I think that occasionally secularizing traditional gospel music is actually an important step to keeping the piece alive beyond it's religious affiliation. It makes the tune accessible to a wider audience who may not have a specifically Christian world view. The spirituality and soul are still in tact with only a few key words swapped out. Very tastefully done ladies!
Your music has been getting me through one of the toughest times in my life right now. I am battling ewing sarcoma cancer and your music brings me such calm and release. I listen to you on pandora everytime i get radiation which is every weekday. Thank you for sharing these traditional songs with us. Your unique versions always either bring me to tears of joy, make me smile from ear to ear, or give me the chills of a familiar past. I hope one day when im not ill to be able to collaborate with you ladies. Your music pushes me to keep my dreams of pursuing music and art alive. So much love to you both. Yakuke (thank you) and bení twa (bless you) ❤
Beautiful version of a traditional gospel song. However, regardless of what you believe, I think it is important to respect the spirit in which the song was written. If it was written to be a gospel song, it seems more offensive to take the 'gospel' lyrics out of it so that it won't offend anyone, than it would be to keep the original lyrics. The words 'Jesus' and 'Lord' were intentionally left out, which I simply don't understand.
You ladies are beautiful, inspiring creatures!! I haven't heard some of these songs since I was a kid growing up in a pentecostal church (believe it or not). To say I love your take on them would be an understatement... Light and blessings!!!
So thankful I found your music. It gave me an instant, peaceful spirit. You two are as beautiful as the voices you carry. I am humbled. I hope you come back to your home state soon, because I'd love to see you live! I wish you continued success and much love!
