Zie’l
from Genesis LIVE!
Light/Gospel Warehouse 2007
THIS is the single from Zie’l I’ve been waiting for!
The female group does just what the title says, winding their modern harmonies around a good, solid church song with a relentless backbeat underscored by hand-clapping.
The single was recorded in April, 2007 before a live audience at the Church of the Redeemed of Our Lord in Baltimore.
Blending traditional sounds with jazzy harmonies is what Zie’l does best. It puts them right up there with RiZen as heirs apparent to the Clark Sisters. In truth, Zie’l’s live version of Twinkie Clark’s “Is My Living in Vain,” also on Genesis LIVE!, telegraphs their debt of gratitude to the Clark Sisters for the latter’s influence on their style.
