Anointed
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Self-titled, the fourth long-player by the Anointed has been referred to by those in the trio's camp as their "dream record," made silky-smooth by an all-star group of wish-list producers including Keith Crouch and Tony Rich. While hardly breaking new ground, and a little saccharine for some tastes, Anointed witness to the faithful in a slicked-up eclecticism that will appeal to the most secular R&B pop fans. "Something's Missing" is a sensual ballad firmly grounded by spiritual ideals. "Ooh Baby" is a dance-inflected harmony anthem underscored with a fat bass-delay beat. "Take It Easy," a funked-up, whirling R&B number, features the skitter-scat showboating of Steve Crawford on lead vocals. Most insightfully infectious, however, are the opening and closing numbers--the unadulterated disco-gospel joy of the album version of "Revive Us" (there are two alternate cuts not featured here) and the soulful optimism of the eminently singable "Anything Is Possible." --Paige La Grone

Kinda disappointed!.......2007-03-08
This video simply wasn't interesting to watch. The music material itself is just "average" and somewhat dated; It doesn't compare to their last project/release "My Purpose" from many years ago. I still love and listen to that CD today. I guess I was expecting something on that level. What a let down...
A GREAT COMEBACK .......2007-02-07
I LOVE THIS CD I PLAY IT EVERYDAY.IM A VERY BIG FAN OF THE PACE SISTERS.PLEASE GET THIS CD IT IS TRULY A BLESSING.
GET THE CD!!!.......2006-11-16
Let me start by saying that I am more than satisfied with the "RETURN". I was wondering how a group makes a comeback after 12 years. Well The Anointed Pace Sisters have proven that it can be done. My only criticism of the cd is that some of the songs are too short but im sure thats because of the number of tracks. I think they made an awesome comeback and deserve nothing but respect.
ONE OF 2006's Greatest Albums.......2006-11-13
First Let me start off by saying I have been a fan of the pace sisters since I was three when the U-KNOW album came out. This album is off the hook, they still have it. The first song is "High Praise" an instant radio hit! Then there is a song called "Reign" with a reprise it's lead by Leslie Pace what a killer she is, the song has a kind of Go-Go beat to it. Another song that I just love is "He's Here" featuring my favorite singer Lashun Pace she kills this song and then they go into the "When God Is In The Building". To sum it all up you will get your money's worth but most of all you will be blessed.
Review of the Album "Return".......2006-10-26
The Anointed Paces Sisters is a Group I love to hear! When I walked in the Gospel Record Store to find they had a new album I was extremely excited that they had returned. However, as I listened to the CD I was disappointed again the same as with their 2003 release of 'It's Already Done'. I'm not sure what has happened with them, but this album does not match their first two albums which were both highly anointed and spirit filled which brought me back to them for this purchase. Durnice continues to deliver in 'It's Already Done', and thank God for them letting LaShun guest solo on this Album. She is a sister and should always be included as God has truly blessed her with the gift to sing. Melonda is my third favorite singer after Durnice and her cut on here was okay, but I was looking for something more on the order of 'His Spirit is in this Place' off of their second Album. God bless the Pace Sisters and may they continue to uplift the name of the Lord!

Great CD Anywhere, in the car, at work, at play, &while resting.......2007-02-19
HI: I just bought this CD and I really like it. It is a great CD for anytime. The songs are great and not old churchy. I like listening to this Cd during stressful periods in my days, and when I am exercising.
The songs are wonderfully written and the vocals to match them. The words really make you think about your soul and your choices in life.
I wish there were more songs on this CD. I want to hear the next compilation for MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. I also bought the other CD for My Utmost for his highest and I really enjoyed both.
An overlooked masterpiece........2001-03-22
This CD was released 8 months after the huge success of the first My Utmost for His Highest project. Unfortunately, it failed to sell in the same numbers as the first. I will admit that at first, I didn't like it as much as the first. But it has grown on me, and now I like it more.
In my mind, one of the reasons it failed to sell in the same numbers as the first is that it doesn't have the name recognition the first did. While the first had Amy Grant, 4Him, Point of Grace, etc., this one has Anointed, Clay Crosse, Greg Long, and Lisa Bevill, among others. Michael W. Smith does make a return visit for two songs, the incredible SOMEDAY (SET THE CHILDREN FREE) and a recording with Anointed of JOYFUL, JOYFUL that's similar to Crown Him with Many Crowns from I'll Lead You Home.
Still, the reason this CD is so powerful is because of the overall theme and message of the songs. The idea was to release a collection around God's covenant with us and our response to it. When I really sat down and listened to the CD with that in mind, I was blown away. Some of the lyrics include: "I have made a promise/And so it will be...I belong to you/And you to Me." "I say it's a promise/A covenant, a destiny/I will come to set My children free." Susan Ashton contributes a beautiful version of Psalm 121 taken almost word for word from the Revised Standard Version of the Bible. By the time I reach the response to God, I find it easy to be praying "I promise all of my ways" and can claim the promise that "We will follow You, knowing You'll lead us through." The two instrumental songs, incorporating melodies from the other songs, add to the reflective mood.
This CD belongs in every Christian home. It is a great reminder of Who is ultimately in control of our lives and our world, and what He has promised to those who believe in Him.
Fantastic!.......2000-05-29
I loved this CD as much as the first one. If you have read Oswald Chamber's book, heard the first CD or are looking for an inspirational religious CD with music to please every taste, you have to buy this CD!
If you worship through music, It's a MUST!.......1999-10-02
A perfect sequal to "My Utmost For His Highest". You truly feel the Spirit! A wonderful mix of todays top gospel musicians. Contemporary mixed with traditional. Make sure you read the excerpts on the inside cover!
When I'm tired or low, this CD definitely lifts my spirit!.......1999-07-14
The technical mixing of the CD is top quality! We have a surround sound home theater system, and you can hear every instrument and voice distinctly. The separation is superb! The music is annointed and Jesus' presence enters as you praise Him and listen to this music. I would highly recommend this CD to anyone that wants to enter into God's presence.

Enjoyable.......2006-07-30
Anointed consistently turns out good to great albums, no matter who is or is not a part of the group at the time. Their songs are always well-written, well-produced, well-arranged, and well-performed.
'Now Is The Time' is one of their good ones. As a prior reviewer mentioned it is balanced with a wide mix of genres that can minister to virtually everyone, and it flows very well. It may not have that certain spark that made their debut album and self-titled 1999 album 5-star projects in my book, but every track here is a keeper and will hold up well over time.
This is a job well done and recommended.
Disappointed.......2005-11-10
I gave "Now is the Time" two stars to match the number of selections I liked on this album. If you like Hip-Hop music, then this album is definitely for you, but it is not my cup of tea. I must say this is a big switch from their earlier albums, which were absolutely beautiful, with their gorgeous harmonies and soulful, R&B stylings.
Anointed strikes Gold!!!.......2005-06-22
For me the album is off tha' Chain!!! I'm not saying this because of my unashamed bias of liking every record ANOINTED puts out. It's just a good praise and worship record. It seems that Da'dra and Steve pulled out all the stops for the one. They wrote 10 of the 11 tracks and executive produced this record. What is really remarkable to me is the growth in their lyrics and sound on "Now is the time". I will be the first to admit that when Mary left I thought anointed would be "done for". Then when Ne'cee left, it seemed like the brother and sister lacked something on the "IF WE PRAY "album. "Now is the Time" shows how they have grown onto their own unique sound. They did not try to recapture the sound that was lost when Mary and Ne'cee left. I love all the tracks, but man, the up tempo stuff is soooo amazing "Mighty long way" is awesome. I'm most impressed with the soulful ballads-- there is no song like "the great I am". This song is one of those great inspirational and praise and worship songs. Did I mention that Steve has the most melodious and just angelic sound on the track "Now that I'm Free"? Yeah I'll admit it's a bit too short, but you can always play it again. Anointed has made a Fantastic record, for me this is my must have gospel CD of the year. I'll recommend it to any one; anointed fan or not.
The Great They are.......2005-05-08
The Great Iam is the best inspirational song I've heard in many years....
The Annointing has continued!.......2005-05-07
I was very much impressed by this latest offering. My only criticism is that it is a little too short for my taste at 46 minutes. Although, with 11 tracks (5 ballads and 6 upbeat songs) it is a well balanced CD. Genre sounding wise, there is enough on it for everyone to get something from it -- whether you like Gospel, Inspirational, or Contenporary Christian Music.
UpTempo Songs: As far as the songs are concerned the remake of 'Jesus is the Lord' w/Andre Crouch is a standout hit. It alone is almost worthy of buying the CD. However, there are others that just "knock" you out too. 'Mighty Long Way' and 'Gotta Move' have enough in them to cross charts into Urban markets. They at least get played twice everytime I listen to this album (maybe because they are both just over 3 minutes, but that is another story).
Ballads: 'You are' is by far the best. Simple lyrics but heart felt testimonies, especially the end. 'Eternal Life' and 'The Great I am' are also good. The title track 'Now is the Time' lyrically has pluses and sounds more like it is marketed to CCM markets than Gospel folks.
Overall a 4.5 rounded to 5. I would have rather they added another song to round the number of tracks to 12. Isn't that a nice Holy number anyway? I agree with the earlier reviewer that the other members aren't THAT missed on this album. Though they did have sufficient background voices on several of the songs.

Chosen by God.......2007-05-10
A blessed listen to the words CD, especially "Not the I, but the you in me"
The Best Release by Anointed.......2006-04-28
I think THe call (1995) is the best release by Anointed so far. 'The call' and 'grace enough'...'Not the I but you in me', 'Life is a Dream' ....'its in Gods hands'etc etc..... This album is all round, and everyone - the young and old will enjoy this. Their latest (2005 Now is the time) is excellent too but "The Call" certainly stands out.
The Best.......2005-02-16
This is an excellent CD. This is the best of the best it is simply fabulous. I thoroughly enjoy listening to it. This CD is definitely anointed within itself.
WOW!.......2003-04-25
That iz about the only word how i can describe this. Well, acually I could describe it with a lot more words, but I'm too lazy. Okay, here iz the deal. I usually do not listen to this music by any means, i listen to punk and ska i.e. GOLDFINGER, SUICICDE MACHINES, SLIGHTLY STOOPID, SUBLIME... etc. but as far as gospel/christian music goes........i dont listen to much at all. But this cd takes me back. I get chills when i hear their vocal harmonies. I have been to about 5 concerts of them and I am only 15 years old. This iz one of the best ablums ever. PICK IT UP!
Excellent!! Truly Anointed!!!.......1999-10-15
Truly inspirational!!! Excellent message, excellent vocals and harmony, excellent music. Anointed presents a great gospel experience. I first purchased The Call in January 1996, it's still a favorite and blesses me. I've purchased additional copies for my friends, they all enjoy it!!!

Smoothjazz.com Review.......2006-04-02
Ahhh, Lenny Welch... That silky smooth voice that has graced so many hits over the years including the classic, "Since I Feel For You." So wonderful to have a new release from one of the greatest R&B singers of all time. IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE allows Lenny room to stretch out and sing his brand new, sensually romantic songs in an environment of Smooth Jazz, pop, and R&B. Backed by an A List of players including Smooth Jazz sax man Michael Lington and guitarist Grant Geisman. The talented singer can never be accused of resting on his laurels... In addition to touring all over the world performing throughout Europe, South America, the Virgin Islands and the U.S, Lenny has also been developing a new aspect to his performance skills, acting. His credits include several appearances on ABC's hit show, General Hospital. Plus, you have heard Lenny's distinctive voice on recent commercials for brands like M&M's, Subaru, and Coca Cola. IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE is guaranteed to be well received by Smooth Jazz and R&B fans alike. With solid song writing (Ray Dahrouge), exceptional musicianship and Lenny's smooth and characteristic vocal styling... Favorite tracks include the sultry "Dancing Naked In The Dark," the album's first single, "Slow," the seductive groove, "Heaven Next To Me," (watch out Al Jarreau!), and the jazzy, high energy "No One's Gonna Do It Better Than Me." It really is all about Love on this exciting new outing from one of our nation's greatest singing treasures - We LOVE you Lenny! -Sandy Shore

Chosen by God.......2007-05-10
I grew up listening to about all the r&b music was to hear, when I heard "where did the love go? I thought this can't be a gospel song it was too beautiful and it talked about the very thing we all may have struggled with. Then I heard the whole CD and was taken by the harmony and sound, then track # 10 came on and I used that song for my wedding theme beacuse it sang about the relationship one has with each other but then turns it to why there is one to have with Jesus. This is a blessed CD to have in your collection. i still play it often.
A lackluster "Affair".......2005-02-26
I bought this when it first came out because there wasn't very much gospel music with a relatively up-to-date R&B sound being made in 1993. Revisiting it now in 2005, not much of this still sounds good.
The group, which would go on to shrink down to the brother and sister core of Da'dra and Steve Crawford, here also includes Mary Tiller and Nee-C Walls, and all the members contribute at least one track.
Best tracks here are the uptempo "God's Personality" (a #23 Christian radio hit), written by Tiller, as she asks God to help her respond with grace when enemies attack. "Don't Sweat It" reminds us God is in control. "Mighty Long Way" is an "Amazing Grace" rewrite.
The low spots include ballad "Love Me (The Way you DO)" where Steve crawford wrecks a nice melody by over-emoting. "Forever Friends" is a banal lyric that's been done to death in CCM circles. The continually shifting meter sinks "Where did the Love Go?"
I would pass on this one...if you want an Anointed CD, look towards a later release like "The Call".
Anointed is awesome........1998-11-12
The best songs on this album is God's Personality, the Title Track, He Knows, The Other Side, Don't Sweat It and Friends Forever. Considering it is the debut album and it was made in 1993, I think it was a fine effort.
Debut album is cool........1998-11-03
Although many people do not know that Anointed had this debut album, i've added it to my collection and it is cool. The best songs on here are God's Personality, the title track, He Knows, The Other Side, Friends Forever and definately Don't Sweat It, with Steve's awesome voice. If you've heard Under the Influence or the Call, Spiritual Love Affair is a must have.
