If you've been a follower of R&B gospel over the last few years you'd know that Virtue, three soul sisters from Huntsville, Alabama, are one of Christendom's finest. Maybe
not as innovative as Out Of Eden, maybe not as funkily sassy as Trin-i-tee 5:7 but still three ladies able to make quality, modern R&B with lyrics pitched at the spirit rather than the groin. Their albums, 'Get Ready' from 1999, 'Virtuosity' from 2001 and 'Free' from 2003, are all excellent, full of strong soulful leads, funky rhythms and tasty harmonies. If you missed them, this compilation gives you most of the best cuts as well as some obscurer items from various artists projects. If that wasn't enough you also get some commentaries from the girls. A nicely done compilation.
