“Faults”
Tanya Dallas-Lewis

“He Looked Beyond My Faults,” composed by Dottie Rambo to the ancient tune of “Londonderry Air,” is a traditional song that the best gospel singers love to peel and squeeze until all the delicious emotion pours out.
On “Faults,” relative gospel newcomer Tanya Dallas-Lewis takes the song’s premise –“He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs” – and gives it a brand new melody and bubbly R&B arrangement with a rapper at the bridge (“feel like that old Vickie Winans flow”). Throughout, Dallas-Lewis sings, scats and autotunes in synch with the bounce of the booming rhythm.
