'Praise At Your Own Risk' is destined to be a leader in contemporary gospel music. Bold words I hear you say but from the MaryMary/Campbell opener of "1 Just Wanna (Dance Now)" your appetite is certainly whetted. The soulful sounding Speaks is on production and with most songs either written or co-written by him this album is exciting. It's inspirational, innovative and positively addictive. Praise is certainly the central theme and Mr Speaks is not holding back. From the ballad inspired "Lord Of Life" to the heart-felt "All I Need", get ready to have the album on constant repeat.
