R&B gospel man Bernard Stevenson was raised in Los Angeles and eventually found himself on the television sitcom circuit. Meanwhile he went on to develop his skills as singer, songwriter and producer. This, Bernard's debut, opens with the bouncy "Everybody" which lays a great R&B foundation for the following tracks to build upon. Tracks like "Eyes Of Faith" and "Kingdom Of Love" have a rich lyrical content while "Virtuous Woman" is a powerful soul ballad. Not groundbreaking, and lacking an arresting song but still a reasonable debut from the clearly talented actor/singer.
