“Another Chance”
Ellen Hayes feat. The Word of Truth Mass Choir
Songs and Melodies Records (release date: January 19, 2024)
By Robert M. Marovich
“Another Chance” is Ellen Hayes’ finest single to date.
The Detroit singer-songwriter pours out her gratitude to God for another chance in a heartwarming call-and-response with the full-bodied mass choir from the Word of Truth Church, the church her father founded and where she serves as a musician. The expression of joy is palpable not only in the lyrics but in the textured harmonies and Hayes’s sumptuous lead singing. “Another Chance” hearkens back to the days when gospel choirs dominated the music charts.
