“I’ll Forever Praise Him”
Tim Spady & Inspiration, feat. Nneka Best
From the forthcoming album Songs From My Heart
Twenty-two year-old songwriter/musician Timothy Spady directs the Voices of Praise gospel choir at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he is studying sociology. A pianist inspired by the work of Richard Smallwood, Spady took formal music lessons as well as picking up bits and pieces from playing in and around Philadelphia with artists such as Nneka Best, who leads “I’ll Forever Praise Him.”
This song, from Tim Spady & Inspiration’s forthcoming full-length album, Songs From My Heart, is a superb introduction to the young talent. It’s a dramatic but restful choral piece that has a classical foundation with clear links to Smallwood’s work. Best leads with energy and leaps effortlessly through her impressive vocal range.
