Fortitude has been anointed by God´s presence in their lives. Their gift of song has truly been inspirational to my spirit. This CD is highly recommended for anyone who loves Christ and desires to be in his presence. To each of the guys, keep God first in your lives and he will continue to exalt you. The project shows that you have had an AWESOME encounter with JESUS!
The album includes a version of "The Question Is" (yes, that "The Question Is"-the one from The Winans' 1981 release Introducing the Winans). That's a serious move—a tacit appropriation of the Winans' legacy—but it doesn't work. This version is serviceable, but nowhere near as satisfying as the original. It doesn't have the rich aural interest created by the interplay between shimmering keys, burnished horn, Marvin Winans' leathery lead and the relaxed-but-sharp brothers in the background—or, the bouncing, tight urgency of the updated version performed by Woody Rock and Men of Standard on Rock's Soul Music (2002). It's really symbolic of the entire album. It's fine and functional, but the music often sounds dated and the songwriting is frequently cliché-laden.
Make no mistake—these guys sing well together. But at this point, there's no comparison to the real standard-bearers in the contemporary gospel/R&B.
