“I Believe”Dr. Vera J. Goodman & Anointed Praise
From the CD It’s Our Time (2014)
“I Believe” is an inspirational song that sounds like an inspirational song. Anointed Praise’s dynamic phrasing and the infectious “Rise” vamp gain ample support from a melody that propels the message ever higher without changing the key.
Lead vocalist Kevin Allen delivers the song’s premise: “Know that I am He / Who can change the ‘possible’ to ‘possibility’/ So Rise.” Dr. Vera J. Goodman and Kizzy Walker add spice with their fervent solos.
At nearly seven-and-a-half minutes, “I Believe” is just one skillful radio edit away from chart potential. It is also ideal for praise dancers and athletes seeking encouragement.
Dr. Vera J. Goodman & Anointed Praise are from the Temple of One Accord Ministries International in Jacksonville, Florida, where the pastor is Bishop Dr. Jan D. Goodman Sr. The ensemble wowed the audience at the NIGMA Industry Summit’s main musical last Saturday with an extended version of “I Believe” on which gospel singers such as Trish Christie-Standley, LaShun Pace, Keith Williams, and Maurice Griffin contributed cameo performances.
