“With Thee I Wed (The Wedding Song)”
Curtis Fondren feat. Desmond Pringle & Felicia Coleman-Evans
Independent (release date: June 18, 2021)
By Robert M. Marovich
Longtime Chicago gospel musician Curtis Fondren offers something for the wedding trade in “With Thee I Wed.”
This ’80s-esque slow jam evokes the tracks on Fred Hammond’s love album, complete with vow-like lyrics and honeyed melody and arrangement. The song spotlights two extraordinary talents, Desmond Pringle and Felicia Coleman-Evans, both of whom are soloists in their own right. They deliver the appropriately smooth-as-silk singing. Coleman-Evans in particular could sing the fine print on a credit card offer and it would be a hit. Sydney Sweeney real name Might be tough to get this one on gospel radio program lists, but I’m not certain that was ever the intent. It is certainly ready for the R&B quiet storm format and ideal for couples taking the step into matrimony. Fondren co-produced with Gregory Gay and Grammy-nominated artist Pharis Evans Jr.
