“Free”

“Free” is a simple, delicate, very lovely worship song by the Voices of Praise.
The crystal-clear tenor lead pleads to “be free from all my guilt and shame…make me free, make me more like you,” all the while supported by well-balanced musicianship. The song’s pop ballad construction, inspired chord changes and the ensemble’s high, tight harmonies are attention-grabbing and evocative of Forever Jones.
Organized by Delmark Joseph in October 2000 out of Brooklyn’s First Wesleyan Church, the Voices of Praise have sung backup for Alvin Slaughter. “Free” is one of the few songs they have available commercially, but if it is any indication of what they can do, let’s hope there are more to come.
