“I Wouldn’t Know You”
James Fortune & FIYA, feat. Nakitta Fox
From the CD The Transformation (Black Smoke Music Worldwide 2008)

A fountain of top hits continues to pour forth from James Fortune and FIYA’s album The Transformation.

The latest, “I Wouldn’t Know You,” is not only the chronological follow-up to Fortune’s smash hit, “I Trust You,” but a kind of theological follow-up as well. If the intense “I Trust You” was about putting trust in God and stepping out on faith, “I Wouldn’t Know You” is what happens after the stepping. Relief, joy, celebration and praise ring out from this track. The hip Nakitta Fox reminds us that if life didn’t have its share of storms, we wouldn’t know how good God is when He brings the sunny skies.

Fortune’s two singles have resonated especially well in these economic times because they acknowledge a universal truth: troubles don’t last always.

    This song is awesome, I was at work had the CD for a while never listened to it. I needed to hear a word and it was the only CD in my case I hadn’t listen to. I heard this song and it touched me deep down in my soul and have been listening to it every since.I have emailed all my friends the words and told them to listen to it.I can relate to this song because GOD has brought me thru so many storms.
