Inspirational foursome Men of Standard offer smooth harmonies, positive lyrics, and a sizzling R&B sentiment on their joyous fourth release, It's a New Day. New Day delivers a musical buffet-from the jazzy opener, "Just like You," to the smooth-as-butter "Can't Stop Now" to the sassy horns of "I Made It." Amid the handclapping rhythms comes a strong message of praise for God, without any of the repetitious lyrical dreck one hears on traditional praise records. This is real music from the soul, for the soul -- and anyone disputing this need only hear the funk-filled closing track, "Testify," which bubbles over with joy. Somebody say Amen!
