“He Will”
Tim Bowman Jr. feat. Vickie Winans

Tim Bowman, Jr. comes from a family blessed richly by talent.

His father is smooth jazz guitarist Tim Bowman and his aunt is Vickie Winans. The younger Bowman got his first taste of the recording studio when he joined his Aunt Vickie some years ago on a remix of her “Shake Yourself Loose.”

Vickie returns the favor by joining her nephew on his single “He Will,” a song about keeping the faith by believing in God’s steadfastness. The selection makes liberal use of the heavy-bass beat has been a Detroit staple since the Rance Allen Group. In fact, Bowman counts Allen as one of his influences, and the musical accompaniment of “He Will,” as well as Bowman’s vocal leaps into falsetto, evokes classic Rance Allen.

While “He Will” is distinctively modern, it waxes traditional at the conclusion when Bowman and Winans let loose and preach/sing while the background vocalists and musicians gradually turn up the heat.
