Based in traditional sounds, but this choir weaves in strands of soul, rap, dance and blues into a potent sound that must be pretty amazing in concert. This is one choir that's determined to stretch beyond traditional confines to present music that's utterly fresh, attractive and contemporary. The roots are still there, strong and sinewy, but these tracks are an object lesson in how to go out there and create a new audience for yourself. Songs follow familiar themes, but interest is maintained throughout by the constant stream of innovative sounds and blend of styles. A refreshing, powerful tape.
