Who is the King - Fabian Willems

The Netherlands’ Fabian Willems really delivers on “Who Is The King?” which is an inspirational track praising the King of kings. The song begins with a beautiful violin and guitar lead in, and remains solid and mesmerizing until completion. Willems is so strong and passionate that is comes shining through loud and clear, and you know he is a true believer in the savior. And if you’re not, you will be by the time you finish listening to this thought provoking track. Willems proclaims, “No one compares to you, oh Lord./You are the King!” and when he sings this, you understand what devotion to and love for the Lord are. His music is powerful and very moving. The band plays with all of their God given talents with precision and perfection and the entire collaboration is excellent. The shots of Mr. Willems standing in fields, by rivers, and by trees just praising in sight and sound the glory of God. You can really tell his love is real and this is what the King of kings has made possible – a man’s ability to make such beautiful and touching music along with a very likeable video presentation.

Gospel Takeover

“Gospel Takeover” packs a whole week’s worth of worship into 30 minutes with non-stop praise (with no commercials) shown musical form, by video, and through powerful messages. The star power alone is amazing, but it is the sincerity and fervor with which the praise is being offered that is so uplifting. This show is truly a blessing to any who seek to serve the Lord as they will surely be renewed and strengthened for the trials and tribulations of this life. It is clearly evident why “Gospel Takeover” has been the most watched Gospel program for the past 2 weeks in its time slot. Season One, Episode 2 of the show features Myron Butler & Levi performing “Stronger,” Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers featuring Daryl Coley performing “When Sunday Comes,” Kanye West’s video “Jesus Walks,” Bishop T.D. Jakes & The Potter’s House Mass Choir featuring D’Atra Hicks performing “Time Is Short,” and also “Marvelous” featuring Beverly Crawford. The prayer and message by T.D. Jakes, one of the most charismatic and influential pastors of our time, followed by a call to Christ (to which many responded) was touching and thought provoking. “Gospel Takeover” is aptly named, as this reviewer believes that it will continue to ‘take over’ television ratings (in addition to hearts, minds and souls).

The Latonas - "Protoro"

The Latonas’ video “Protoro” starts off foggy, but then it becomes crystal clear that this group really rocks and is powerful and professional. With a crazy great drummer pounding the beat, the new millennium has arrived in the form of alternative rock and this group is on the cutting edge of it. The guitarist and drummer really deliver a standout performance along with the lead singer. “Protoro” is a fast paced video and shows the group doing a live performance in a high energy show that is second to none along with their message. Watching the video gives you the sense that alternative rock has found its place, and the Latonas are definitely earning their spot in it out in front and right on top. This is what alternative rock in 2011 is all about. You’ll love the song and video if you have enough energy to keep pace with them, but even if you can’t, you’ll have a great time trying!

Goldman Rockstar King - "Sexy Thing"

Goldman Rockstar King exudes musical energy with his unique remake of "Sexy Thing," originally performed by Hot Chocolate. Written by Errol Brown, the
video "Sexy Thing," which was directed by Paul Gervasi is created with the
new sounds and scenes of today. The King's charisma and star power shines
brightly as he makes this song his own. Some innovative swap outs with
lyrics along with other changes make this a very interesting song and video
that are able to stand on their own merits. While there are some
similarities to the original, this pop artist's energy and sound along with
his presence and presentation make him impossible to ignore. The music is a
hard pounding rock R&B mix with a hard hitting bass that holds it all
together quite nicely along with the sassy group backing him up. This is a
perfect example of how ole school isn't always necessarily better.

Lachi - "Bug Out"

Shot in New York City and well produced by Kevin Porter, Pop/rock artist Lachi’s video “Bug Out” begins with her sitting on the steps of a building in the Big Apple singing and switches back and forth between that scene and the video’s protagonist, played by Sara Teed, as she makes her way through New York City. On Broadway, Teed meets someone selling sunglasses. After purchasing a pair, much to her surprise, she finds that they are magical and allow her to see people’s true emotions. She continues her journey through NYC watching people – seeing greed, hatred, envy, and other negative emotions until she stumbles and falls and is helped up by a man who doesn’t have any negativity. The pair then enter a club filled with people dancing where we see Lachi and her band Meridian Gold performing “But Out” live. This is a very innovative and energetic video, which perfectly matches the fast tempo, very bright and upbeat song with its catchy lyrics (“I’m just going to be me and Bug Out/And have fun/And live life/And have love/And bug out.”) that exude positivity.

Patrick Joseph - "Don't Believe It"

In a time where music seems to be “made to fit the mold,” and artists are more cliché than original, Patrick Joseph’s video “Don’t Believe It” is a breath of fresh air. The indie singer/songwriter’s song, from his debut album “Antiques,” is breathtakingly beautiful. The video was made entirely with a still camera in stop motion over the course of three days shooting during which time over 7,000 still frames of photography were taken. It is also uniquely entertaining because of the quality of the music. Joseph has a way with words, and “Don’t Believe It” is lyrically and musically robust, with not a single note wasted or out of place. Deep and thought provoking, the video and track are worthy of being added to any true music lover’s collection.

N-O - "Mother" Featuring Sydney B

Hip hop artist N-O’s video Mother” is a dramatic and emotionally charged anthem to a mom who passed away too soon and all the hurt ad memories that are left behind. The video is well produced with crisp, clear images portraying sadness and grief, as well as pictures of mothers caring and praying for their children. Paced at an appropriately slow tempo, the song, which features Sydney B, has impact and meaning as the vocals get right to the point: “I miss my mother, It’s so hard/I know she’s in a better place, But I can’t stop the tears/Can’t stop the tears/” and “I called my father/He told me my mother just died/I’m trying to be strong, I’m hurting inside/So I cover up/I’m smiling, telling jokes/ But the day my mother died was the day my heart broke/.” This is a beautiful and loving memorial to a woman who was obviously a wonderful mom, and a reminder to us all to cherish our mothers while they’re still here with us.
