Mark Hubbard & the Voices
Feat. Corey Barksdale Jr.
(available on iTunes as of October 15, 2013)
“For My Good” is the latest product of Chicago’s Stellar Award-winning and Grammy-nominated Mark Hubbard & the Voices.
The song’s lyrics of hope are encouragement for times when we don’t understand what is going on and why. “We know everything works for our good,” the choir concludes, taking Romans 8:28 for their inspiration.
What sells this traditional-tinged song are Mark Hubbard and Corey Barksdale Jr.’s lead vocals, which move from smooth to shouting, the skillful piano intro, embracing strings, B3, and the Voices singing in that semi-classical area traversed also by Donald Lawrence & Company.
