“Come On Let’s Praise”
Linton Phillips and Hearts of Worship Ministries 2006
(708) 307-5483
At the moment, the only way to hear this performance by Linton Phillips and the Hearts of Worship Ministries is to catch the ensemble live or to tune into gospel radio, as I do not believe Phillips’s project is officially for sale yet. Nevertheless, “Come On Let’s Praise” is a pleasing though standard uptempo gospel with a pulsating beat and plenty of energy, courtesy of the Hearts of Worship team.
“Come On Let’s Praise” is the radio friendly track, but I found the ensemble’s slower-paced “All Praises” to be far more fascinating. The chorus of this performance requires the ensemble to navigate a complex chord progression that at first sounds improvised but is 100 percent deliberate.
Though it may be difficult to find their work commercially today, the Chicago based-Phillips and Hearts of Worship Ministries is certainly worth a closer listen.
