This is sizzling stuff, leaning more to the jazz/funk side of gospel, described in the sleevenotes as urban gospel. Ten brand new songs mostly recorded and mixed by Fred Hammond who also plays keyboards on many of the tracks. While his influence is pretty well unmistakable he never upstages Sharon. The production is so tight with the Faith Chorale almost sounding like they're part of Sharon. Highlights are the title track (just try standing still while you listen!) and the sensational "Get To Know Him" which really showcases the talents of the Faith Chorale. If you decide to buy it, make sure you play it loud enough to bless the neighbours.
