“Self Righteous”
His Name
www.hisnameonline.com
On the loping, mid-tempo “Self Righteous,” contemporary quartet His Name takes umbrage with “Christians” who turn up their noses, look down on others and point fingers. They sing, “We don’t want to be self righteous, thinking we’re the only ones blessed.” Rather, they want “to do like the Bible says” and love everybody. Now there’s a sermon in short form.
His Name is comprised of Pastor A.J. Darby, Roy Scott, Fred Humphrey, Brian Mack, Edwin Mitchell, Antonio “AJ” Gray and Kiary Wilson. The group is being trained under the leadership of George W. Stewart (American Gospel Quartet Convention), who also named the group. The group’s objective is to meld the quartet sound with other popular gospel subgenres.
