"Something Special" is an edgy song with a heavy bassline found on this debut album from Tennessee resident Alkendria. The lyrics are uplifting making the listener feel chosen and favoured. Alkendria's voice is very emotive convincing you to rely on God, demonstrated on the mid-tempo track "Don't Give Up". This song is soft and is a duet with the smooth vocals of one, Smitty. You'll find yourself on a trip down memory lane when you listen to "Thank You" which has a very '80s soul sound. There are two versions on this album the other is a remix which is equally as good. "For Who You" is a ballad professing love to God, and is a beautiful song with tender lyrics. 'Thank You' is an impressive debut.
