“Praise”
Jai Reed
From the forthcoming TLR Entertainment album Jai Reed (2010)

New Orleans native son and Stellar-nominated gospel artist Jai Reed is releasing his third album, the self-titled Jai Reed, for TLR Entertainment.
“Praise,” the first single culled from the album, is a live performance that demonstrates Reed’s penchant for blending traditional with contemporary. Weighed in the balance, however, “Praise” is long on the traditional, complete with a warbling B3 and a bluesy beat behind the “come on, let’s praise the Lord” vocal refrain.
