Kwaku, Meshach, Cameron and Jermaine are the four young men that make up the London-based gospel group Blessed Voices. Accolades since their formation in September 2000 include Channel 4 Gospel Artists Of The Year 2002, support act for both Mary Mary and the London Community Gospel Choir and acclaimed by various media after the release of this five-song EP, although having said that, this CD was released in 2003, but it's taken until now for Cross Rhythms to locate a copy. Even if you prefer your gospel music to be American I'd urge you to investigate 'Christian' as this CD is rather good. Two of the five songs are originals, two others are arranged by the group, and the fifth track is the Melodians' classic later mangled by Boney M "Rivers Of Babylon". Both gospel aficionados and acappella fans will enjoy the group's tight, mellow harmonies. I do hope that these guys get to make a full album. On the evidence of this, they've got something.
