“God Made Me”
Mississippi Mass Choir
From the Malaco CD Then Sings My Soul (2010)
http://www.malaco.com/
The always-radiant Mississippi Mass Choir, now 250 members strong, does something a little different on their latest single, “God Made Me”: they baste their traditional sound with a more contemporary gospel vibe.
Benjamin (Benji) Cone III, son of Rev. Benjamin Cone, Jr., leads “God Made Me” with shouted encouragement and affirmations while the choir builds to a resounding thunder. Miss Mass returns to its traditional roots while repeating the concluding line, “My soul says yes,” like straight outta COGIC.
The song encourages listeners to lift their low-bowed heads and know that they are not victims but conquerors…reminds me of the old saying, “God made me. God doesn’t make junk.”
