MUSIC REVIEW: THE ONLY GOD - LIVRE


Date: September 20, 2013
Genre: Gospel (R&B)
Release: April 19, 2012
Rating: 4/5
Reviewer: JEFFREY OWUSU

These words if meant for a lady would sweep her of her feet. Livre is a dynamic group of New York City based vocalists. Livre’ means “FREE” in the Portuguese language and this group of singers displays their freedom in God expressively through their music and movements. The group is comprised of five spine-tingling talented vocalists: Ajanee Hambrick; Ariel Malloy; Malik Spence; Kenneth Williams; Cree Summer Rey and Richard Tolbert. The beat is nothing extraordinary nevertheless the sound of the piano makes it a classic urban R&B song you would to love to listen to over and over again. That is what got me listening till the very end the very first time; the sound of the piano at the beginning. The lyrics of this song are indeed valuable. Valuable because you can appreciate the originality in lifting up the name of JESUS using words that express sincerity. These are not the usual kind of words you will find in the lyrics of many songs. Don’t get me wrong the lyrics don’t extremely determine the beauty of the song but they make you value the ingenuity of a beautiful song put together to get a message across.
