“Try”
Charise Miles
From the Bajada Records CD Charise Miles (2009)
I heard Smokie Norful say recently that gospel is the music of hope and encouragement. If so, then “Try,” the single by Detroit’s lovely Charise Miles, is literally by the book.
Here, amidst relentlessly bouncy, high-energy R&B, Miles provides a litany of affirmations for you to tackle the impossible and the unreachable, because God’s got your back. But then again, she reminds, “without faith, it’s not possible.”
“Try” was written, arranged and produced by the supremely talented Percy Bady, whose trademark polyrhythmic musicianship is all over this track like fingerprints. Miles’ self-titled debut is released on Bajada Records, the label owned by Straight Gate Church of Detroit’s Bishop Andrew Merritt.

Where can I listen or download this song at? I would like to hear it.
Hi, Christine — from my mouth to God’s ears, but the week of Feb. 15 I plan to debut “The Black Gospel Blog Music Hour,” which will be a streaming audio show of the music featured on the blog. Charise’s song will be on the first episode! Stay tuned!
Ok great! I will stay tuned!
