Conrad Miller - My Journey

By Terrence Richburg

Conrad Miller, one of today’s up-and-coming gospel recording artists, makes his national debut with an 11-track traditional musical offering, My Journey. Produced by the renowned Steven Ford, My Journey marks a rare departure from Ford’s “signature” orchestral arrayed and rich symphonic arrangements, but instead takes you “down home” to a more fundamental place in God, integrating artist Conrad Miller’s first-hand testimony of his walk with the Lord. Amid his sincere desire to share the benefits of his successful journey with others, Conrad’s My Journey demonstrates a powerful tool and opportunity for evangelistic ministry.

With the impressive penning of every song, Conrad through My Journey leads a trek to learn of the “amazing” nature of God, the blessings of God, the power and “anointing” of the Holy Spirit, salvation through Jesus Christ, and the “change” experienced in the believer’s heart and soul. “Amazing,” a solid, side-to-side rockin’ opening track chronicles Conrad’s profound story of the many awesome miracles God has shown the world through Miller’s personal perspective and encounters, as God’s purpose for him as an artist is revealed. The pulsating beat and contagious hook won’t let you resist the urge to move and sing along with this one.

Then, ideal for getting everyone up on their feet on Sunday morning, with a southern style, quartet gospel flair, “Blessed By The Best” has strong traditional appeal as Conrad delivers one of his most uplifting lead vocal offerings on the project. “Breathe On Me” offers real hope through an earnest prayerful plea to God to impart the precious Holy Spirit’s anointing on Miller’s life for help to travail the day- to-day struggle on the believer’s journey. The melodic interplay between the lead vocal and the lead guitar is a very nice touch that further enriches this lush Gospel ballad.

With a very strong hook at the helm and a rich foundation of background vocal harmonies, “Jesus Is The Way” is a delightful, “happy feeling” kind of song, like a family outing drive on the interstate, that biblically and concisely teaches the gospel message of the coming of Jesus to miraculously save the world—a great invitational alternative to the norm. Then, Conrad takes us back to a 50’s/60’s-like finger popping ballad performance on “(I’ve Been) Changed,” highlighting an authentic vocal arrangement and moving lead and background vocal performances.
