For The Record: Vicki Yohe - Reveal Your Glory

by EJ on Jun.30, 2009 at 4:30 pm, under Music

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.

Oh wow. I had no clue she was released from CeCe label or dropping another cd. I just got hooked to her a few weeks ago. “Highest Praise” is my jam. I can’t wait to check this one out. This sista has some soul

Yeah there are some great songs on this CD. The original versions of “Reveal Your Glory”, “Your Breakthrough” and “One Moment” off of Duane Manns album are awesome too. You should him out also.

Will, I agree. It is a very good CD, however, I don’t think it quiet reaches the level of Duane Mann’s originals. She is close on “Your Breakthrough” but not quiet there.

I had a chance to listen to Vicki Yohe cd and I was truly Blessed by it. However, I must say that when you listen to Minister Duane sing, One Moment, Reveal Your Glory and Breakthrough, it puts you in another place. I love them both and they are truly anointed by God. I will continue to support them both.
