“Abundance of Rain”
Phillip Bryant
DrakeWeb Music Group 2007
Fayetteville, North Carolina gospel crooner Phillip Bryant recorded his debut CD, Gracefully (left), in 2005, immediately drawing deserved comparisons to Usher.
He’s back with “Abundance of Rain,” a smooth gospel single steeped in quintessentially ‘70s Earth, Wind and Fire jazz-soul fusion that fits it like a glove. Bryant’s vocals are laid-back, confident, and…well, graceful.
“Abundance of Rain” is about “Heavenly favor falling like rain,” and if the young man’s next album project is as good as this single, he will certainly get his share of well-deserved favor.
