“My Inspiration”
Angela “Missy” Billups
E’Mazin Entertainment/Missy B. Music (2014)
Best known for her churchy traditional songs, Angela “Missy” Billups, accompanied by a background vocal group, delivers a contemporary worship song to express gratitude to God for graces bestowed. She drops a couple of lines of verse from “Total Praise” in the vamp, then concludes, “When I thought was going to lose my mind / God, you stepped in the nick of time.”
The song is good and shows that Missy is exploring new territory for her singles, but I much prefer Missy’s traditional side.
