"Amen to the crazy things that happen that make me who I am," purrs Andra in that cracked and soulful voice which is surely the most arresting in modern R&B. Despite the title, "Amen" isn't a gospel song, it's a power ballad with a life affirming lyric about overcoming every difficulty. It demonstrates that Andra's classic "Rise Up" wasn't a fluke. This is almost as good.
