Francine is an award-winning gospel diva living in, of all places, Wangi Wangi, New South Wales, Australia! Not only that but she's a class act with a rich, soulful contralto and the looks of a fashion model. The EP is Francine's second gospel project and in fact there's a track "The Lord And The Lamb" from her first gospel outing, the 1999 album 'Jesus Told Me I Can Fly'. The lead track here is a trad gospel sounding number with some not entirely appropriate rock guitar interjections. Much better is a fresh reading of Bill Withers' classic "Grandma's Hands". With the right song and producer Francine could make a major dent on the international gospel scene.
