“Work it Out”
Troy Sneed presents Bonafide Praisers
From the upcoming CD Destined to Worship
Emtro Gospel 2007

Not the classic choir sendup made famous by the Warriors of Chicago’s Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer, this “Work it Out” is the product of Emtro Gospel co-owner Troy Sneed.
As Sneed announces at the outset of the song, “Work it Out” was inspired by the success of his number one hit, “The Struggle is Over.” “Work it Out” is similar to Kirk Franklin’s 1993 smash “Why We Sing” in its melody and call-and-response between Sneed (speaking) and the young Bonafide Praisers (singing).
Not taking anything away from the Bonafide Praisers, who contribute lovely harmonies throughout, but it’s Sneed who sells the song with his energetic, preacher-style delivery in the song’s final moments.

I’m looking forward to hearing this project. I’m trying to work on my project and it’s getting hard.
I heard the song “Work It Out” on the radio a few times and tried to get the album but the album won’t be out for three more weeks. It is a must-have.
