'Ministry Series, Vol. 2: Attachments'
'We All Are One (Live in Detroit)'
What The Critics Say
Mixing both studio cuts and tracks recorded live at Straight Gate Church in Detroit, MI, Donnie McClurkin's seventh solo album -- and his first in four years -- features his trademark smooth baritone voice over an eclectic set of praise and worship songs, some of which could almost pass for secular pop/rock. The themes are very much spiritual ones, though, and McClurkin is adept at making his songs speak both specifically and generally in that regard, and he's always recognized that love, in all its guises, is a very big word, and when he sings about reaching toward God, the best of his songs seem to touch on more earthly concerns, as well. Karen Clark Sheard, CeCe Winans, Yolanda Adams, and Mary Mary have guest turns here, and it all adds up to a buoyant, uplifting, and joyous set. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
'Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs'
'Donnie McClurkin Again'
'Live in London and More...'
What The Critics Say
Recorded in London's Fairfield Hall, Donnie McClurkin's Live in London and More... captures the power of his songs of praise & worship -- and his commanding baritone -- in concert. The album covers every aspect of McClurkin's eclectic sound, which ranges from the urban-tinged "I Do I Do" to a Caribbean medley to the contemporary gospel ballad "We Fall Down." Marvin Winans appears on "Who Would've Thought," another of Live in London and More...'s highlights, but it's "Victory Chant (Hail Jesus, You're My King)" that delivers the collection's most rousing moment. Along with McClurkin's songwriting talent and compelling vocals, his unwavering devotion to God unites the album's diverse songs. Though his style is more smooth and sophisticated than fiery and intense, Live in London and More... reaffirms that Donnie McClurkin is one of contemporary gospel's most uplifting voices. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
