Deitrick Haddon - REVEALED

Taking on the world, Haddon belts it out on what could be considered the title track, 'Reveal My Heart.' The revolutionary musical arrangement includes eclectic rock with crunching drum beats creating a refreshing originality. The song is an emotional conversation with God that stripes away religious pretenses. "I wanted to…remove all the walls that we have set up as Christians," says Haddon. "Often times, we put up a façade that everything is wonderful – everyone else is messed up and we're the ones that have it all together. I wanted to break up all that!"

The complete album includes over 12 tracks and features a number of collaborators. Haddon pours his heart, talent and vision on Revealed. Tracks include the politically-minded 'Jesus For President,' reminding listeners to keep their eyes on Christ during the 2008 historical American presidential campaign. Other tracks include the urban, contemporary number, 'Love Him Like I Do' featuring Ruben Studdard and Mary Mary. The single has become one of 2008's top R&B Gospel anthems and earned Haddon a BET Award nomination for Best Gospel Artist.

One of Haddon's best on Revealed is undoubtedly the refreshing track, 'Let Me Go.' The evangelical tune speaks of spreading the gospel around the world. The verses share a testimony, saying "…Things I'm not too proud to say/But today's a brand new day/I've got to fight to sing my song/It's like I'm spinning round and round/…My father wants me back…Let me go in His name." It is the desire of every Christian to spread the gospel around the world, as Jesus commissioned. Haddon's message to the world is summed up in this song and in his own words. "My purpose is to lead [the] gospel and present it to the world as touchable and reachable," Haddon says.
