Their latest album, "We are One" is nothing short of magnificent. "We Are One," written by Peter Scholtes, Walt Whitman and Kim McFarland, combines the message of the Christian folk song "They'll Know we are Christians by our Love" with classic modern gospel ensemble styling. Beginning with a lovely piano introduction, then a male-female duet, the performance builds in intensity with a female solo vocalist (Kim McFarland?) weaving her melismatic magic with the high-energy chorus and jazzy instrumentation. The nine tracks that comprise the album are some of the most eclectic songs that I've ever heard by one group on one recording. Each song vibrantly shines with stellar instrumentation and rich vocal color. Other notable songs on the album include "27th Psalm", "Thank You Jesus, and "Anything you want". Each song shakes the soul.
When you put it all together, the music of the Soul Children demonstrates the richness of the Christian walk. Sometimes it's happy and full of joy, and sometimes it's aober and solemn. Sometimes you have to put on the whole armor and fight, and sometimes you just have to lay back and experience the presence of God. But whatever the situation, we must always let His praise continually be in our mouths. That's the vision that Walt Whitman has established with this fine recording.
