ALBUM DESCRIPTION

Produced by SHERWIN GARDNER

You've heard him before on such compilations as "Turn It Up," and "Soca Baptism." Now Flow Masters Records (Sherwin Gardner) proudly presents the debut gospel album from Ragga Soca">ragga soca artist extraordinaire, Jadee!

This former secular sensation used to share the stage with the likes of Machel Mantono and Bunji Garlin--In fact he still does! But now that he is a born again Christian, his lyrics and lifestyle have completely changed and his new brand of gospel soca (courtesy of producer Sherwin Gardner) is changing the face of soca in Trinidad. After taking a few years to get grounded in the Word, Jadee comes harder than ever with his debut gospel release! On "Altar Call", Jadee crams as much energy and gospel message as possible into 15 exhilarating tracks of hardcore ragga soca!

For those of you who are new to ragga soca, this music style is a blend of Jamaican dancehall and contemporary soca: a combination that is currently setting Trinidad and Tobago (not to mention the rest of the Caribbean) on fire! On "Altar Call," Jadee thoroughly represents this hot new genre with complete authenticity and pure energy.

"Altar Call," kicks off with "Baptize," one of the album's most exciting tunes. The hard snare hits and driving drums provide a perfect backdrop for Jadee's declaration that he wants to see every secular dancehall, hip-hop, and reggae artist get baptized for Jesus. The drum hits and rapid fire beats keep the album moving full steam ahead with songs such as "Hallelujah," "I Pray For You," "Grooving," and the "Baptize" remix.

Standout tracks on this thrilling new CD include "Give God Praise", and "Don't Dis." "Give God Praise," is as beautiful as it is driving as Jadee encourages us to give God all praise. "Don't Dis," contrasts the joyful lyrics of "Give God Praise," but keeps the energy level high as he militantly proclaims that no one can dis the one true God!

On the lighter side, Jadee slows it down with "Don't Worry Family," "Highest Praise," and "I Believe." These songs edify and encourage with flowing messages of love, assurance, and worship. Jadee shows that he can be as reverent and worshipful as he can be aggressive and energetic.

With "Altar Call," Jadee delivers a phenomenal debut gospel set. Flow Masters Records is doing great things in the gospel music scene, and this album is a perfect example of the quality that Sherwin Gardner is capable of producing. If you want to expand your taste in top-quality Gospel music get your hands on this red-hot new release today!
