    Hailing from the Washington D.C. area, Patrick Lundy & MOM have brought us great project to enjoy! This project was produced by Cedric Thompson, known for his work with Ricky Dillard & Donald Lawrence and as the music director for Fred Hammond. The musicians are some of best too! Calvin Napper (Donald Lawrence, John P. Kee) & Mel Gray (Donald Lawrence), among the other musicians.

    They kick things off with a rousing number to get you praisin’! “In The Fellowship” is awesome with great vocal ad-libs by Lakisha Goldsberry.

    “All These things I Do,” a great mid tempo praise and worship song. This song features “Extol” a group from MOM. You will surely enjoy this song, definitely check it out.

    One song that speaks so heavily and is anointed just as much is “I Have Surrendered.” This is a rare surprise in that it has such a rich string arrangement and a lovely melody for such a dynamic message. The choir’s vocals really shine here as they work the arrangement of the song. Total worship here folks.

    “Far Away” is a tremendous song as well. Written by Rudolph Stansfield, who wrote “Stir Up the Gift” by Colorado Mass Choir, and has worked with numerous other artists. This song will get you on your feet and make you wanna praise God.

    They also turn it out and turn it loose on the Edwin Hawkins written “No Rocks Gonna Cry Out.”

    “You Carried Me” will help you make it through one more day. This is such a ministering song.

    One song that really makes this project is “That’s Who He Is.” It gives highlight to the choir and is really high praise oriented.

    They absolutely blow the roof off the church with “Garment of Praise!”

    As a group they extremely versatile. They can move from song to song and style to style with ease. Each song selection is smokin’ and makes for such a balanced album.

    Me being from Baltimore, and this choir to be in my backyard (Washington D.C.). I’m sorry I slept on them, definitely worth a listen and a purchase.
