Jamaican-born and now living in Florida, Michelle and her husband Apostle Steve Lyston minister through Restoration Worldwide Outreach Ministries International. There's no doubting the sincerity of Michelle's faith and her desire to touch lives with the Gospel. Having said that I must now suggest that this four-song EP is a mistake. The accompaniments, where there are some (the title track is acapella), sound like they were put together on a computer in a few minutes. Worse, the songs, with the exception of the reggae-style "Maximum Recovery", have meandering melodies and lyrics that don't scan. And most painful of all, Michelle misses numerous notes as she tries to sing free and soulful. As I said, a bad mistake.
