Another offering from the Fred Hammond stable. Fans of Fred will have encountered Joann Rosario previously on his 'In Case You Missed It.' album. This album containing the title track would have whetted some appetites for more of Joann, who is a superb vocalist. The production talents of Fred coupled with Joann's vocal talents, distinctive writing (most of which is attributed to Joann) and obvious praise and worship to the Father makes for an excellent gospel album. Joann's Latin influence is demonstrated in the musical arrangements as well as in the Spanish refrains that occur in some of the songs. Having listened to the album several times, my personal favourite is still "More, More, More"; possibly because this beautiful ballad leads listeners into a heartfelt worship experience with an exciting musical arrangement. The unmistakable 'Hammond' sound, a hard lifting urban feel exalts listeners to reflect on their own spiritual experience.

Product Description
This is the first full album to come out of the F Hammond label. And there is no doubt a mutual respect for both producer and artist on this sophomore recording for Joann Rosario. A delicious blend of R&B soul and latin rhythms has spawned radio hits on both sides of the Atlantic for the title track 'More More More.'
