About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

In comparison to 2002's energetic, choir-fueled Speak Those Things: POL Chapter 3, contemporary gospel great Fred Hammond's follow-up is a more intimate, stripped-down call to worship. With guest appearances by R&B star Brian McKnight, gospel vet Marvin L. Winans, and neo-soul hipster Musiq (the latter on an acoustic guitar–anchored rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Love's in Need of Love Today"), Somethin' 'Bout Love is Hammond at his most crossover-conscious. While the rousing, holy-ghost stompers of POL Chapter 3 and his unsurpassed Purpose by Design are fewer and farther between, Hammond remains an anointed musical force to reckon with. The quietly stirring "A Closer Walk" will bring tears to anyone desiring a closer connection to their Higher Power, and "I Will Find a Way" -- with its building musical arrangement and dynamic vocals from Hammond and a backing choir -- is bound to become a staple in Baptist churches around the country. The intricately arranged and lyrically evocative "Your Love Is" offers another moving dedication to the Lord. The only criticism of that song and several others is that they're too short and leave the listener longing for more of the gifted singer-songwriter's music ministry -- which is best captured in live, unedited form (see Pages of Life: Chapters 1 & 2). Hammond does, however, stay connected to his traditional gospel roots with interludes of classic hymns including "I Know It Was the Blood," and Somethin' 'Bout Love ends with the powerful, choir-backed "Your Name Is Jesus" -- hopefully signaling that on his next blessed offering, Hammond will return to the dynamic foot-stomping and hand-clapping style he perfected with his choir Radical for Christ.

October 15, 2004: When I bought the CD, it was for "Loves in Need", but after listening to No. 4-Praise Belongs to You and No. 13-That's Why I'm hooked on this one. Don't get me wrong, the other songs on this project are off the chain as well, however the vamp to "Praise Belongs to You" with PamKenyon Donald is bananas. If you are into true Praise & Worship then this CD is for you!!!!

July 09, 2004: Have to admit didnt like the first song "He Lives" too much but as soon as "Not Just What you Say" kicks in you know your listening to a hot CD.. Filled with lyrics and music beautifully and artistically flowing. Although not like his usually upbeat style, he brings upon a new way of looking at Love in general through out the whole CD through this more intimate Fred Hammond inwhich we experience in a different way perhaps even more than any other CD. Some of the songs you fall in love with as soon as you hear them are Praise Belongs to You, Find A Way, More Time For Love and Lord We Need Your Love. GREAT CD!!!! BUY IT!!!
