“Yesterday”
Andrea Helms
From the Music World Gospel CD Moving Forward (available March 6, 2012)

“Yesterday” had me from the warm warbling of the B3.
BET Sunday Best Season 4 first runner-up Andrea Helms delivers this Mary Mary selection as an old-fashioned gospel blues. She articulates the joy that comes from following Jesus, when problems are over and one can look back with confidence and say, “I cried my last tear…yesterday.”
The talented singer delivers a battery of trills and blue notes with skill, dexterity, and strong pacing, saving the raw shouting until the end. Guaranteed to get listeners popping out of their seats.
Andrea Helms’ debut CD, Moving Forward, will be available March 6.
