Kelli Williams's talent has come of age with her third release, In the Myx. With a professional singing career that began at age 10, and more than 100 opening performances for CeCe Winans's 1996 tour, Williams has paid her dues. Now she has brought a unique and bold style into the circle of elite gospel talent. In the Myx presents an urban pop landscape in full bloom. The bombastic aggression of "Remyx Me," the exalted groove of "Bustin' Loose," and the balmy gentleness of "Crazy for You" push the boundaries of what one would expect to hear in this genre. Over the top of it all, Williams declares her faith unabashedly. On the title track she sings: "That's where I want to be / Caught up in the myx of your will." Obviously, Williams's adventurous nature has put her right into the middle of it. Review by Amazon.com |
