“Proof”
K.T. Ellis feat. Kenneth Coleman
Blacksmoke Music Worldwide (2023)

By Robert M. Marovich

To a sultry rocking chair tempo, “Proof” gets a meaty rendering by Rhythm of Gospel Award nominee K.T. Ellis, who is making his recording debut on Blacksmoke Music Worldwide.

Ellis’s vocal delivery is marinated in deep southern soul quartet stylings. Kenneth Coleman enters into a duet with Ellis on a litany of church aphorisms that describe how God is a protector and keeper. To hammer home the point, they share snippets of personal testimonies while the musicians and background vocalists keep things silky.
