What Reviewers are saying:

Chelsea Harmon of Inside Connection "Good Morning Jehovah would raise many hands in the Baptist church. While religiously charged, this song has the potential to become a mainstream household name. "It Shall Not Always Be Like This incorporates a down south country sound behind her positive message. Yvonne Perkins is only steps from success. Read the entire review at www.insidecx.com/reviews/sonic/sonic2.html.

Dale Kawashima founder of www.songwriteruniverse re: "God Wants to be loved" fairly well crafted song and demo with some nice elements. Favorite feature phase "God wants to be loved, just like you; melody on this phrase is excellent.

Jay Hervey industry professional reviewer at www.makeastar.com re: God Wants to be loved " writes the music itself is great, the construction is perfect, this song has a certain beauty of its own. "I listen to this song repeatedly, until my batteries ran out on my player".

Jay Hervey re: I Crown You
The music is very good. Actually it has that old time religion feeling to it that I grew up with listening to.

Orphaneddie professional reviewer at www.makeastar.com re: "Good Morning Jehovah" this is a really nice melody, both of the verse, chorus and bridge. Your melody conjures up some of the great gospel hits like "Oh Happy Day

Orphaneddie (professional reviewer at www.makeastar.com) re: It Shall Not Always Be
I think this is the best recording I've heard from you so far. It's an ideal song demo, presentable to any name group in gospel.
