“God Speaking” relates how God breaks through to those who are listening. Flowing gently, it summons the richness of Mandisa's vocal abilities.
“Voice of a Savior” was co-penned by Sam Mizell and Matthew West. "You and I are not that different/....All we want is a hand to reach to." A beautiful song, Mandisa emphasizes that we are all the same — looking for Christ to fill the void within us.
Do you want to dance? Beginning with the clink clink of chains, the single "Shackles" requires the listener to throw off the binds that hold him from dancing. This song will have even the most introverted feeling like moving his feet. The syncopation is written right into the middle to spice it up.
"Steal My Joy" lifts up the depressed, giving hope to those oppressed by the struggles of life given to us by the world. Sweet and short, it's uplifting.
True Beauty demonstrates Mandisa’s range, variations in style, breath, and vibrato. She carries her listeners on a journey through her Christian and public life. It is a life in which she’s struggled, rejoiced, endured tests, and has found freedom. It is a debut worth listening to.
