Robert is currently experiencing a fair amount of press regarding his previous musical projects and collaborations. Robert has sung with everyone from R&B soul singer Kelly Price and George Benson and this project shows why the young Washington-based artist is attracting attention. "Gotta Praise" is easily the most upbeat track here. Robert's vocals are exceptional with a clear, strong delivery that is very contemporary. "Stand By Me" is a mellow number demonstrating Robert's ability to be versatile as he changes his vocal style with ease on this song. The two step dance melody of "Perfect Peace" is a clever arrangement which fuses gospel vocals with a Latin melody. The pace of this song starts moderately then slowly builds to an exciting array of instruments, backing singers and Robert's sinuous voice. The inclusion of the much recorded hymn "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" works well too.
