Well with the start of a new year upon us, we all tend to set New Year’s resolutions or just turn over a new leaf. For some of us we need a little spiritual motivation and I have just what the Heavenly Father has ordered. This Saginaw, Michigan sister first gained national attention as the 2009 1st place runner up on the widely popular BET show “Sunday’s Best”. I’m speaking of none other than Jessica Reedy, and she has a brand new project out entitled “Transparent”. This is the second album released by the gospel singer on November 14, 2014. The album also debuted at #5 on The Billboard Hot 100.
The First single from the album that is in heavy rotation is a track called “Better”. It’s a song that signifies knowing your own strength and being able to endure life’s challenges by letting God take the wheel. it’s truly my new take charge of my life anthem. Then there’s a track called “Hold On” which features the singer’s mother Mary Reedy. This track reminds you of that ole time singing that many of us grew up with. Literally, transporting you back to a time where the only music accompanying the lead singer was coming from the congregation stomping their feet upon those old wood floors of the church house. Man, how I miss that type of down home good ole gospel music. The album is jammed pack with songs of encouragement triumph and letting God be the captain of your life. After listening to this album I’ve discovered that this artist delivers that much needed, my mind stayed on Jesus look at life, along with giving you that food for the soul Gospel music. I certainly love how Jessica’s able to connect greatly with her listeners as she shares her testimonies through song. Reedy’s vocal range is simply amazing. I Love how this artist can scale down deep unleashing powerful baritone sounds that make you weak at the knees. I’m definitely adding this amazingly talented artist to my one to watch list in 2015. I’m most certain that this artist has more to come. Can’t wait to see what heights this artist will reach. Remember, “Transparent” is in stores everywhere. Please support this talented artist and her craft.
