“Determination”
Ami Rushes
From the ARM CD Testify (2010)

“Determination” is not only the subject of gospel singer Ami Rushes’ single: it’s who she is. Rushes has done everything but scale the Eiffel Tower to gain visibility for her ministry in the gospel music marketplace.
Coming out of the James Cleveland tradition, Rushes’ singing MO is to make it churchy, and this she does on “Determination,” from her latest project, the old-school Testify. The song features a quintessentially exuberant gospel chorus in full handclap as Rushes wraps her Joan Jett-like snarl around the lyrics.
