Everlasting Life is the latest release from Gospel Music Star Kim Burrell, and I can only think of one word to describe it… AWESOME!

The CD kicks off with a great track, I’ll Keep Holding On, that I anticipate will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It really is a very nice track.

The nice thing about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Gospel isn’t your favorite style you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

Overall Everlasting Life is an outstanding release. Quite possibly Kim Burrell’s best to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you’re even mildly into Gospel music you’ll enjoy this album.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 9, It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way. Great track!
