Hey everyone. I think I am going to start sharing the music that I'm liking and listening to with my friends.
I'm calling it Linz Picks!
This week's Linz Picks are:
WILLIAM MCDOWELL'S "ARISE"
It's a potent CD that many Gospel and Worship music fans will use as an anthem for Kingdom declarations, breakthrough atmosphere creation and encouragement. I really love William's heart for God and His church. This is reflected in the project and if you buy it you'll get more than your money's worth! You'll also hear William singing and preaching like most have never heard on his Cd's. WARNING: If you are spiritually sensitive, don't worship and drive!

BRIAN COURTNEY WILSON'S "SO PROUD"
When I first heard this song, it was a demo. I immediately thought "He got it right. This song is gonna work." Brian later sat down at my house and sang it from the piano and I knew we had a hit on our hands. When we started the production process I wanted to keep it simple and leave space for the melody to shine. So, with Brian being a native Chicagoan, I wanted to make sure his hometown was able to "Chicago Step" to it. Great lyrical content, and the lead vocal performance is award material.
The background vocals by Houston's Gene Moore and Tiffany Brown are perfectly layered between Brian and the track.
I hope people help support this song. It's a refreshing addition to the industry.
Check it out on You Tube for now:

Justin Bieber "Fa La La" feat. Boyz II Men:
First off, let me say I'm no Justin Bieber fan. I respect his music and I think he's super talented, but I'm almost 40! Enough said.
BUT - I went to itunes and saw his Christmas CD on the wall so I checked it out. I immediately noticed that his voice had changed quite a bit. His tone was the same but his range was lower. He still has his dexterity and pop vocal abilities but he sounds like a young man, not a little kid. This was nice to hear.
The second thing I noticed was the features...Busta Rhymes, Usher, Boys II Men.
Then I noticed the level of production...AWESOME. As soon as I pressed play, my house got happy. When all my little Beliebers calmed down I went to the Boyz II Men song (plus the a Capella version) and that became my fav. You'll love it! Its worth the money.
