“Closer”

Los Angeles-based Donna McAfee released her contemporary gospel debut CD So Blessed some years ago, garnering praise from Billboard. Since then, she has been a willing worker behind the scenes, producing award-winning commercial jingles and successful programs such as the gospel hip hop show, “West Coast Praze.”
Donna has now decided to release some new music of her own, starting with “Closer,” a lovely, intimate inspirational ballad. She sings this ode to acquaintance with the Almighty in a sweetly smooth pop voice like Minnie Riperton, but in a slightly lower register. Piano accompaniment keeps the arrangement light and airy.
