Lyrics
I don’t know what You did or how you do the things you do, the things you do

One of South Florida’s best kept secrets is indisputably the Gospel soul band, Sensere. With 2 critically acclaimed albums under their belt, Sensere possesses a powerful presence that is undeniable the minute you hear their unique, yet dominating sound. If there was any question before as to why you should give them your undivided attention, their new single “Tis So Sweet,” which is available at iTunes now will eliminate all doubt!
The 10 member band returns to the music scene in a major way after a two year hiatus. They pay homage to the legendary group Commissioned, who revolutionized the sound of Contemporary Gospel with their distinctive harmonies and timeless compositions. A familiar hymn to most church goers, Commissioned recorded their beloved version in the mid 80’s on their national debut release “I’M GOING ON” on Light Records. “Tis So Sweet,” became one of the unforgettable songs from that project. Now over three decades later, Sensere has managed to encapsulate that same magic, masterfully keeping the authenticity of the original version, but updating it with a soulful tenderness felt by every listener.
Founder, James Wright, explains why they decided to remake such a classic song. “Well, I really can’t take the credit, I have to give it to our manager, Gerald Jones, it was his idea. He knew Commissioned has always been a big influence on our sound, so he said who better to tribute such an influential band in Gospel than another band trying to blaze that same trail. I was extremely nervous because I knew it would be career suicide if we messed it up, but now that it’s completed, I’m happy I listened to him.”
“Tis So Sweet” is available now on iTunes and all digital platforms. It serves as the lead single from Sensere’s forthcoming third album due out later this year. The untitled third album is the follow-up to Sensere’s first national release SOUL OF FUTURE WORSHIP VOL. 1 and their top 20, chart-topping, second album KINGDOM THERAPY.
About Sensere:
Sensere is an award-winning Gospel band hailing from Miami. They are comprised of an eclectic mix of vocalists and instrumentalists that include: James “JDubb” Wright, Dontrail Wright, Brian Williams, Tristan Dowridge, Dwayne Charlton, Timothy Wimberly, Darryl Efford, Charles McKay, Wildmayer Marcelin, and John Robinson. The group has taken the gospel music industry by storm since the release of their debut studio album “THE SOUL OF FUTURE WORSHIP VOLUME 1.” Their second project “KINGDOM THERAPY,” released in 2015, peaked at #13 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Album charts and remained in the top 30 for 9 consecutive weeks. Their contemporary offerings – described as a fusion of funk, soul, and Gospel – have earned them commercial and critical acclaim; most notably two Gospel Association Guild (GAG) Awards in their ten-year tenure. Along with boasting the distinct honor of being the first Gospel group to perform at the annual Jazz In The Gardens festival – opening for PattiLaBelle, Kenny G and Mary J Blige – they have also made noted appearances on BET’s “Bobby Jones Gospel,” TBN, and ABC/CBN’s “700 Club.”
Quotes:
Donald Lawrence (Award winning Producer/Songwriter)
“During a time when Gospel music has become somewhat monolithic, it’s refreshing to hear and see a new male group emerge delivering a warm, live, music interpretation of this Commissioned classic “Tis So Sweet.”
Stanley Brown (Music Executive & CEO of Timeless Music Group, Inc)
“Frankly speaking, I was a bit concerned when I heard they were going to remake such a popular song in Commissioned’s discography, but they did an incredible job. It’s like if Commissioned and Mint Condition had a baby…this is exactly what you’d expect their baby to sound like!”
Bishop Michael & Lisa Page Brooks (Original member of Commissioned & Stellar nominated vocalist) “It is AWESOME! Great arrangement and the singers are amazing!”
Justin Francis (CEO of 2017 Stellar Award winning Internet Station, SoarRadio.com)
“I wasn’t familiar with Commissioned’s version of “Tis So Sweet,” but after listening to Sensere’s remake, I had to check it out! This will definitely be in heavy rotation on our station!”
Paula Champion (Sunday Best finalist & celebrated vocalist)
“From the very top of the until the end, I was hooked! Horns…strings…vocals…YES! YES! YES! And YES again! What a beautiful approach to a beloved classic.”

New Traditional Gospel recording artist and Grand Rapids, MI native, Pastor James Cutts, has released his first national single, “Jesus Will Fix It,” featuring his childhood friend, mentor and former American professional boxer and current boxing trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. (father and trainer of five-division boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.). “Jesus Will Fix It” is produced by 8Derrick Lee *(Bobby Jones, Everett Drake) and is impacting gospel radio now. The single is available on all digital outlets today.
“Jesus Will Fix It” is a traditional Gospel tune that infuses different styles of music including Quartet, Praise and Worship, and Traditional R&B, and is embedded with messages of hope and encouragement to all generations and ethnicities. “I wrote this song for everyone,” states Pastor James Cutts, “But more importantly for men to let them know it’s okay to publicly show thanks and adoration to God without feeling ashamed.” “Jesus Will Fix It” also found Floyd Mayweather Sr. in a place of thanksgiving to the Father. Mayweather Sr. adds: “God said give him his time! I’ve been blessed to be rich after many years of being poor! I’m a living witness that Jesus Will Fix It!” Mayweather Sr. who is also a Grand Rapid’s native testifies that “God fixed it for me to where I was able to come back and fight after being brutally shot in close range in 1978 and staying in the hospital for 4 months.”

Pastor James Cutts was born into a musical family. At the age of 4, he was singing with his family quartet The Wings of Faith. At the age of 10, he had learned how to play the bass guitar and performed and recorded several songs with his sister. Together, they shared the same stage with notable groups such as The Pilgrim Jubilee, Mighty Clouds of Joy and The Canton Spirituals to name a few. At the age of 17, Pastor Cutts accepted the call to preach after performing and making several appearances with his friend and GRAMMY award winning musical legend Al Green. He credits Green for his overall musical knowledge and ministry acumen. At the age of 22, Cutts was an ordained minister and traveled across the world speaking to Spanish groups and various denominatons . In 2012, Pastor Cutts received a Masters degree in social work and served as a substance abuse counselor and worked with autism organizations.
Years later, Pastor Cutts ultimately was drawn back to music singing the Gospel and found himself recording with the Metropolitan Spiritual Church choir and recording the song “Jesus, I’ll Never Forget” with Dr. Bobby Jones. He’s performed and/or opened for greats such as James Cleveland, Kurt Carr and Fred Hammond to name a few. Pastor Cutts has been supported by the famed Williams Brothers and has been publicly acknowledged by his hometown friends, family group The Debarge and Dr. Marvin Sapp – who credits Pastor Cutts as a progressive gospel trailblazer within the Grand Rapids area.

Darmy just released two lovely songs titled ”Baba Ese” & ”My God”.
Baba Ese – One thing that is required, but very hard to give is “THANKS”. A lot of reasons are behind this, but one that stands out is this: sometimes, English Language waters down the depth of the meaning of what we actually intend to say. The beauty of tribal languages like Yoruba is that it bridges this gap by helping us truly express our gratitude to God. Darmy Adeleke’s new traditional single BABA ESE is a worship medley with no exception that fuses english and yoruba effectively, digs into the depths of our hearts and pulls out our gratitude to God the way we truly intend. Get your grove on, and give thanks!!!
DOWNLOADMy God – Worship to God is not only a privilege we have as believers: it is an art that we learn. Through the good times and bad times. It’s something we must do. Don’t wait till the choir leads you to worship every Sunday. Lead yourself to worship irrespective of your situation as you sing Dammy Adeleke’s new tune – My God.
Be blessed!!!

Armond WakeUp releases a new freestyle to tide you over while he works on his Illect Recordings debut.
He shares, “This verse was originally for my album…well, the 1st 8 bars of it. I’ve been learning this balance of the reality of my current situations & what speaking the Word does. I’ve been beginning to give bad theologies over to the Lord; things I would use to self sabotage & keep myself in a more manageable place. That place where I could control & manipulate as I saw fit. Places the Lord didn’t wanna waste His time going to. Per usual, the Author of Time decided to wait me out; He knew that mindset would eventually tire me out & I’m finally beginning to suck air. My prayer has been to believe God even when my circumstances or my feelings don’t line up. Eventually something has to bend; & if God’s word never fails…I’m gonna bet on black.”
“My father & I spent Thanksgiving in St Louis this year & it was emotionally draining. I saw places I grew up reduced to absolutely nothing. I saw gentrification. I saw history erased. I went to East St Louis & saw a once thriving community as a ghost town. & while Ross used Santorini Greece as a backdrop for elegance & opulence, I wanted to use the same canvas to paint a picture of doing the dirty work. Why are we going to 3rd world countries, when we have 3rd world cities here? There’s plenty of work for everybody. Here’s mine.”

Following the release of Oscar Urbina’s song and video, “Teacher Chronicles,” the Miami emcee returns with a new track, “Carousel,” featuring a guest verse from Mogli the Iceburg. The audio premiered Monday on DJ Enuff’s ThatsEnuff.com and is available on iTunes and other online retailers.
The introspective “Carousel” uses the amusement park ride as an analogy for measuring progress in life. “A Carousel is disguised with bright lights, horses, and music in order to distract us from the never ending cycle of the ride, and its lack of adventure,” Urbina explains. “This is life in a nutshell, a never ending cycle that many of us fall victim to as we become zombies to the mundane repetition that we experience day in and day out.”
Urbina expounds on the concept in his verse atop sparse space-age synthesizers and easy drum patterns. “Carousels, they be crushing the dreams of many fiends / Addicted to the same routines / I call it the new nicotine.”
indie tribe. member Mogli the Iceburg addresses the struggle to find work-life balance, rapping, “It’s hard right now, I try to adjust but the lifestyle’s new to me / And I don’t hang out with people back home / Because I feel like I’m missing opportunities.” He adds that he immediately related to the song’s message. “People don’t understand how much sacrifice this music takes,” he explains. “I’m 24 right now, and this is a prime time in life for so many things that I am totally dedicating to music. Sometimes the opportunity cost is great. I have peers that are buying houses, getting married, having kids, starting businesses, etc. I’m putting my time and investments in music and doing all I can to make sure I’m not stuck in this cycle (carousel) of just working toward something without seeing growth.”
“Carousel” appears on Urbina’s mixtape, MP2 Darkness, out on April 11. Earlier this month, Urbina’s “Teacher Chronicles” song premiered on Rapzilla and the video debuted on HipHopDX. Miami’s Fox affiliate WSVN interviewed Oscar for a segment for their Deco Drive entertainment program.

Bold, lively, passionate, energetic, edgy, anointed and dynamic! All these words have been used to describe Purist Ogboi’s ministry. The fast rising music minister & recording artist amazed the Gospel music scene with her hit debut album, The Encounter, in August 2016, arguably one of the best Gospel albums of 2016.
Unchangeable God is the fourth single to be released from her debut album, and it comes with a surprise twist. Unchangeable God is a catchy reggae track which showcases another side of Purist and adds an exciting kink to the album.
Some of her earlier single releases include None Like You, No Other Name Like Jesus and Worship Medley. Unchangeable God is described as a wonderful masterpiece which leaves a lasting impression on the listener.
For your enjoyment and sharing, click on the link to listen to Unchangeable God and below is the accompanying live video recorded at The Thameside Theatre, London, UK.

We call out to You
Alpha and Omega
Come and fill this place
With your presence and your power
Let your kingdom come
Let your will be done
Move in this place
Let it rain on us
CHORUS
You never change (Jesus)
You will never fail (Jesus)
My shield and glory (Jesus)
You never change (Jesus)
VERSE 2
We call on your name
El-Elyon
Jehovah Tsidkenu
A righteous one you are
God of wonders
Beyond the galaxy
Great and might one
You’re a faithful God
BRIDGE
Unchangeable God 4x
Reliable God 4x
Dependable God 4x

The song ‘Delivered’ is his debut single. This pop-gospel genre has a pulsating groove that brings you into a personal testimony of freedom in Christ and thanksgiving for deliverance.
The song features the dominant voice of Adesoji Joseph whose powerful vocal quality rivets throughout the song.
Adesoji Joseph can easily be referred to as a father of gospel music in Imo State. He is the current chairman of the Fellowship of Gospel Music Ministers of Nigeria (FOGMMON) Imo State chapter and ranks among the finest voices of gospel music in Nigeria.
Also featured is the beautiful voice of Melody Vallence. Her sonorous sound has an angelic quality that brings this song to a great ending and will make it one to be loved by many for a long time.

Verse 1
He touched my life
made my life so bright
I’ll praise His name
He changed my name
gave me a new name
I’ll praise His name
(Bridge)
Tell me why I shouldn’t sing
tell me why I wouldn’t lift
my voice in praise
You’ve always been my help
you’ve always been my hope
this is why I sing
Chorus
I am delivered
now I am free
my chains are broken
my bounds are loosed
I am delivered
now I am free
thank you Lord Jesus
now I am free
Verse 2
I am free
free to lift my hands
free to sing new song
No more chains
my new day has come
I have seen daylight
(Bridge)
Tell me why I shouldn’t sing
tell me why I wouldn’t lift
my voice in praise
You’ve always been my help
you’ve always been my hope
this is why I sing
Chorus
I am delivered
now I am free
my chains are broken
my bounds are loosed
I am delivered
now I am free
thank you Lord Jesus
thank you Lord Jesus

It’s been a while since we last heard from the Houston- based gospel artist Eileen but she hasn’t been idle. Eileen has been busy for the Lord , honing her vocal skills and has decided to bless us with a new single “Coat Of Many Colors”.
“Coat of Many Colors” depicts grace in all it’s fullness, It specifically tells us about the hand of God, and how He has kept us, This song has a fresh twist of Afrocentricism. It features Nigerian gospel artist /worship leader John Godfrey. This combo is a sure blessing to you and the continents.
Just think of God’s goodness towards you and jam, sway and bounce for King JC (King Jesus Christ) as you listen. As Eileen puts it point blank, we have much to be thankful for as He daily loads us with MANY blessings.
