Judith Christie McAllister is back with a new project, Sound the Trumpet, due on August 30th on Shanachie! The album was recorded live at New York’s Greater Allen Cathedral and promises a new round of praise & worship tunes for the Body of Christ.
In my opinion, Dr. McAllister is one of the leading voices in praise & worship music for the African-American congregation. With popular tunes for worship teams, including “High Praise” (which I bet some of you erroneously call “Halle-halle-hallelujah”), “Like the Dew” and “Lord Prepare Me.” Though she is the President of the International Music Department of the COGIC denomination, she has been instrumental in presenting music for Sunday mornings across denominations for years.
Her lead single is the title track, “Sound the Trumpet.” True to her form, it’s a rousing praise song. This one calls believers to spiritual warfare through praise.
You can check out the live music video for it right here (at first glance, I also saw powerhouse vocalist Melonie Daniels and current Sunday Best contestant Michael Pugh on background vocals)–
And you can also listen to it as it streams on the Pundit Player at the bottom of your screen!
I’ve got the full project, and will take a listen to give you a full review before it hits stores. In the meantime, listen to the single and tell me what you think of it!
Oh, it's a great track and very timely! You must listen to the lyrics. I cannot wait to hear the entire project. Judith remains the First Lady of Worship & Praise.
Dr. McAllister is a diamond in the rough. Her music is different, untainted & anointed. I appreciate that she stands as an unashamed pillar of the church...this album is based on teaching that we rarely see in the church today....CONSECRATION...what it means to live a holy life. Sure we can shout & dance & speak the Word all we want to...BUT IF OUR LIVES DON'T PREACH/SING/MINISTER, then what is it all for? That's been her message all along & I'm anticipating what's coming out of this album.
This joint is HOT! I love it... Hallelujah!
