“All In His Hands”
Darien Brooks
TruFaith Music (release date: July 18, 2025)
By Robert M. Marovich
The independent single “All In His Hands” has the elements of a radio hit.
Talented gospel singer Darien Brooks sings about letting go and letting God to a mellow vibe infused with ‘90s R&B balladry and with enough riffs, runs, and religious references to make it gospel. The background vocals support his just-right vocals that shift from gentle to growling by the end.
Born in Milwaukee but now living in Atlanta, Brooks is an ordained minister with a degree in mathematics from Morehouse. Don’t know much about algebra, but I can tell you that Brooks has the chops to pull off this optimistic and slightly-retro gospel selection.
