Hope Askew (2013)
“Release Me” is a pleasant, satisfying contemporary ballad from Hope Askew of Portsmouth, Virginia, who sings about being an empty vessel that seeks filling from the Most High.
“I’ve tried the pleasures of this world, but the hurt still remains.” In a voice brimming with honesty and authenticity, Askew beseeches God to “break the chains and turn my life around.”
Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Askew is dedicated to singing her pain away. She proved that by auditioning in February for The Voice and by being a guest this spring on Bobby Jones Gospel.

This is a great and honest song that speaks to the heart of many people. Hope Askew is an awesome woman of God and it is evident in her video on Youtube. Check it out, this young lady is awesome. http://youtu.be/IQn24hCkfyM
