“On Fire”
Shawny Wright
From the 627 Music EP Touch of Paradise
Buoyed by thumping house beats, Shawny Wright’s single, “On Fire,” calls on believers to dance and praise so Jesus will “set this place on fire” and “change the atmosphere.” By “place,” she means anywhere that God’s presence can change the negativity.
Wright’s voice is soft and fragile but the producers ensure that the beats never overtake it.
The single and EP are on David “D.K.” Goodson’s 627 Music imprint out of Spartanburg , SC. Watch the video below and see how Wright gets the tavern crowd to march out the door and exchange their drinks for Styrofoam-cups at a house praise party.
