3b4jHoy (pronounced “three before joy”) is Heather, Dominique and Claudette Farquharson. Although each was born in different states, the sister trio now hails from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where their parents are pastors of Just Life Messianic Ministries and they are the praise and worship leaders.
No strangers to recording – they made their first album in 2001 as JOY and a second in 2005 as jHoy – the sisters Farquharson have a new release slated for early 2012.
On “The One I Need,” the lead single from their forthcoming album of the same name – and their first national release – 3b4jHoy loft high, tight and sweet laid-back harmonies over a calm, flowing melody that mixes new age with P&W. While soloing, the ladies wrap their gentle gospel chops around the lyrics.
Their name is a tad confusing to me, with that silent H (which signifies the Holy Spirit), but the ladies look and sound great.
