Lee Hawkins has the latest addition to his catalogue out, and he’s making inspired music with “Gospel Songs, Vol. 1.” With 12 songs in total, the record goes beyond your average religious release, incorporating elements of house and contemporary soul into the message of the music. Hawkins has a gospel singer’s range, and is aided by a lively group of backing singers to help spread the feeling of the project. Much of the album centers around a piano, but there’s room for experimentation to take religious music to a different audience altogether. Check out the album here below:
