The Breath of Life embodies a collection of eclectic grooves. Angella steps out the box displaying her ability to incorporate various influential styles of music into her undeniable gospel instrumental themes including ballads, R&B, Pop, Jazz, Fusion and still nails the gospel sermonic solo style she’s known for. She puts her spin on several popular covers tunes such as Bynum’s Like The Dew that entreats the presence of the Lord with the edgy rock hook “rest on me!” Richard Smallwood’s’ Total Praise has a surprise majestic ending that leaves your spirit soaring breathlessly. Smokie Norful’s classic I Need You Now, already a beautiful ballad, is taken to a higher state of brilliance! Martha Munizzi’s Because of Who You Are showcases a nice slow pop feel that builds to a climatic pinnacle and lands in a smooth worship zone. The Williams Brother’s Still Here, with its R&B vibe, evokes a self-encouragement outlook
of making it through another day and being unstoppable and Come This Far by Faith declares an unabated steadfastness. Original material is also included to complete this smorgasbord collection; The Breath of Life has something for everyone!
