With an album cover that looks like an optician's chart, you'd have to be more than blind to fail to recognise that this duo have produced the best work of their career with this release. Producer Percy Bady (previous clients:- lots of Winans. Yolanda, Commissioned, etc) has created a sumptuous sound over which A&V's vocals effortlessly glide and intertwine. The ballads tug at the spiritual heart of the listener; "Confess And Believe" is a strong song of encouragement. "Have You Experienced God" is a bold challenge to those brought up in religion to really taste the intimacy of knowing God rather than knowing about God! But it isn't all laid back stuff, "Waiting For You" has a mellow urban groove whereas "Do What's Right" and "God Ambition" have a swingbeat vibe that'll get more than your toes tappin'! The whole album is musically on the button whilst maintaining a strong spiritual focus through challenging lyrics. This is smooth R&B gospel to inspire and delight.
