In stores TODAY is the newest project from Vicki Yohe, entitled Reveal Your Glory: Live From The Cathedral.

Reveal Your Glory is Yohe’s first live album. It features the soulful voice that first astounded the gospel industry some years back with I Just Want You, her first release on CeCe Winans’ PureSprings label.

She’s since amicably parted from PureSprings– she’s signed to Shanachie (same label that just released the latest from Kim Burrell… we see you, Shanachie! LOL)– but her signature sound is still abundantly evident.

The album is a good offering into the now vast sea of praise and worship material.  It actually seems more reminiscent of Martha Munizzi’s style than the more soulful ballads I’ve come to expect from Vicki Yohe.  That said, she’s clearly in her element– she loves to lead people into worship and this album comes across as one big worship service.

Standout songs on this project include the title track, “Reveal Your Glory,” which is an intimate and moving worship track calling for the Lord to show Himself, the album opener “The Lord Is Good,” and “Your Breakthrough,” a really grand ballad proclaiming… well, breakthrough!

Another great track is “One Moment,” featuring Anthony Evans.  The interplay between the two of them wasn’t as seamless and natural as I hoped it would be (it was a duet, but only because two people were singing lead), but they both gave the song their all and it’s a very powerful song about yearning for intimacy with God.  Finally, Yohe does a great job with her live version of ”Because Of Who You Are,” the song that catapulted her to the top of gospel and Christian sales charts several years ago.

Fans of Vicki Yohe won’t be disappointed.  I don’t think that this album is necessarily game-changing, but I also don’t think she set out to be profound.  She’s a worshipper… and that’s evident throughout this project.
