Album Description

This sophmore project from Carla Ann Harris is a soul-stirring, redemptive, hallelujah, "feel-good" gospel album which is sure to leave you with the message that "Joy Is Waiting" on the other side of any challenge that you are going through. The CD presents some old time gospel favorites such as "Because He Lives", "What A Friend We Have in Jesus" and "Precious Lord" in a fresh new way fusing traditional gospel standards with contemporary rhythms and Broadway stylings. Original recordings of "Standing on Holy Ground", "Midnight Blessings", and "Cast Your Cares" are a special treat. All proceeds from the sale of this CD will go to benefit St. Charles Borromeo School in Harlem, New York and Bishop Kenny High School in Jacksonville, Florida.

Customer Reviews:

Great Gospel!!!!.......2006-03-12

This CD is terrific. What a great blend of gospel and just a touch of jazz on some of the cuts. I particularly like one of the songs Carla Harris wrote herself "Standing on Holy Ground" - especially when you know the story behind the song. She has a beautiful voice and knows how to use it. We are buying 600 to give as a gift to each guest at our upcoming prayer breakfast. We will all be blessed by her wonderful spirit and outstanding vocal talent.

Fresh, Yet In the Tradition.......2005-12-05

With Harris, in her recording "Joy Is Waiting", all I can say is remarkable.

Remarkable is the fresh treatment of the gospel genre, with songwriting that makes new works feel like classics. The arrangements and orchestrations are adventurous yet well-steeped in tradition, the production modern yet astute with the sense of musical roots.

Ms. Harris makes the critical first choice for her project in her association with Ron Melrose, who along with his prodigious touch on piano, organ, synthesizers, contributes inspired efforts as arranger and producer. Drummer Gene Lewin propels the session masterfully. The Broadway Inspirational Voices contribute a texture of an ensemble three times its size.

And Carla is blessed with the sensibility of singing with pure passion, yet at the same time allowing the inherent power of the music to speak. The result is an offering of spiritual repertoire, with a real bow toward Edwin Hawkins and Andrea Crouch, crossing denominations, cultures, and musical genres. This is a most satisfying set.

True To Life!.......2005-05-09

I was lucky enough to hear Carla Harris sing live, at Lincoln Center in New York City, only a few months ago -- fabulous! As it turns out, she sang two songs on this album, and they sound just as great here as from the stage. This CD is uplifting, upbeat and truly enjoyable; well worth the price!

Glory! Glory! Glory!.......2005-05-05

I was told about Ms. Harris' new CD by a friend and bought it out of curiosity, more than any other reason. What a discovery! Her luminous voice takes hold of you and won't let go. Her bold rendition of "Bridge over Troubled Water" and "What A Friend" simply mesmerize and take you to another place. This is THE CD of the summer for anybody who loves good, down-home gospel music.

RR2@Montclair.......2005-04-29

Imagine, if you will a down day, and you need a pick me up. Put this cd on. I doubt that your spirit will fail to rise upon listening to the first song. No doubt you will be "standing on Holy Ground". Ms. Harris' interpretations of well known songs reflect her her strong belief in God and positive view of life.

These songs will get in your head, and you will be humming them long after the cd is off. They will take to a wonderful place, and leave you there for a good time. As the title says "Joy is Waiting", stop making Joy wait, buy the cd and enjoy.

PLEASE don't leave a message!.......2006-02-01

This is a great CD but all the radio interludes are annoying. Some advice for Rupee don't let the talk promote the music, let your talent do that!

The hitz are:

(2) Till' Morning
(3) Tempted 2 Touch,
(5) Frenmy and my favorite
(9) This is Festival

Rupee I Love You .......2005-09-16

Finally a cd I can listen to over and over again and never tire from. Being a West Indian I grew up listening to Calypso~Soca~Reggae so I am so familiar with the music.
Rupee is one of the hottest artist out and I can't wait for his next cd.
For those who are not familiar with this type of music give Rupee a try, I promise You won't be disappointed.

soca + rupee.......2004-04-16

this album is tight. i put it in and before long, the whole album was played through. the songs go by THAT quickly. if you're a fan of soca, this is it. rupee has a sultry voice that is presented in all the tracks, and man! he is HOT! (not that it matters)

tempted 2 touch is a great song. there is no need to say it, since everyone who has reviewed has commented on it, but the beats are there, the tune is there, and it is perfect!

Rupee left a message alright:).......2003-09-12

From TAZMANIAN DEVIL
Rupee's Leave A Message album in my eyes is a double platinum record he's made. This sophomore album Rupee has grown and just sang reality and grabbed every audience. That is one thing about Rupee from a child to and adult his music is to plese the family and I definetly five him a two thumbs up! Songs like Frenemy if you listen to the lyrics its true..people will smile in you face and stab you in the back... In spite of everything Rupee is grounded and humble and keeps it real!!!! Tazmanian Devil!!!! I love his music and once you hear it, the cd will not get out of my changer.....it becomes a ritual!!!!!:)

good stuff does bajans proud.......2003-09-05
