One of the most anticipated releases is now available for your listening pleasure. Donnie McClurkin follows his outstanding self-titled debut album with an excellent live recording “Live in London & more”. If you were a part of the ‘live’ recording you would have sensed the powerful anointing that was present that evening. The album is Co-produced by Kevin Bond, noted for his musical excellence on such recordings as Jackie McCullough’s ‘This is for you Lord’ and Walter Hawkins’s Love Alive 25th Anniversary. Additionally the album features some of the UK’s finest musicians and Ruach Ministries Choir. It’s a journey of heartfelt praise & worship as Donnie unashamedly declares his faith, from the opening & inspirational ‘That’s what I believe’ to the worshipful ‘Lord I lift your name on high’. The UK audience will certainly warm to the ‘Caribbean Medley’ as well as the appearance of well-known figure Pastor Marvin Winans. An excellent album – Allow it to minister to you.

| 7. Everyday | 8. Saved | 9. Come in |

Tarralyn has been compared to Karen Clark-Sheard & Yolanda Adams, immediately you take notice. At the age of 14 she was sought-out by music industry heavyweights to make a mainstream RnB album. Her steadfast belief in God and in her calling caused her to turn down offers with major record labels. The voice may be familiar to you having been featured on the Wow Gospel series in 1999 as one of the new artists. A dynamic voice and an album that is said to reflect her life. Tarralyn opens up with a live feel on the contemporary sound of ‘Tell it’, effortlessly moving from track to track. The passionate ballads of ‘Count it all joy’, ‘Don’t be weary’ or ‘Unconditional Love’ are simple yet very effective, and allow Tarralyn to ‘really sing’. She even gets that distinctive Tonex treatment in ‘Everyday’ – She is a pleasure to listen to and will give many hours of enjoyment.

| 1. Runnin' | 2. Saved | 3. Witness |
| 4. Dedicate | 5. The real one | 6. Do you know Him? |
| 7. Unhooked | 8. Deeper | 9. Nduetyme |
| 10 Cast your cares | 11. The gift | 12. Saved (54th & University Mix) |
Shelley Gaines is a relative newcomer to the music market, but don’t let that lull you into a false sense of excellence. One of the latest additions to the Tommy Boy Gospel label, the album is also another to have the Tonex production treatment. The first thing you’ll notice is the smoothness of the sound from the opening track ‘Runnin’. Tonex describes her as the lady of Gospel RnB/Soul, and he’s not wrong. The finish is quality and Shelley shows she is adaptable, whether on the mid-tempo declaration in ‘dedicate’ or the up beat ‘unhooked’, where Tonex is a little more inventive. A very good album that will certainly appeal to an audience that loves RnB Gospel.

They probably need no introduction but just for the record – It’s now here – The debut album from 1 Nation Crew, "a culturally mixed group of individuals fused together for the sole purpose of celebrating their faith".
The album release has been built up successfully by pre-album released tracks “Unconditional”, a Latin fused head-bobber and the official first single release “Nobody”, a clear declaration that no matter what life may throw at you, Jesus is still the answer. These forerunners have only cemented the innovation and clarity that is expected from a Kirk release. The mix and diversity of the album’s musical style is parallel to who 1NC are. The African inspired “Kwaze Kwabonankala” or “Be like Him”. Listen to the ballads “Free” and “When you fall”; Franklin trademarks. The Hammond (Keyboard not Fred) tinged “I can’t live without you” is a real feel-good, put a smile on your face track, which 1NC deliver with effective zeal, showing why Kirk can’t be tied to one style and providing an indication as to why previous albums have gone platinum and double platinum. When you've achieved the level of success that Kirk has, it must be hard to follow that - One Nation may not be his best productions, but it's still full of those Franklin qualities that have established him as arguably the most successful gospel artiste of all time.
