Artist: Park Place Album: "Steps" Genre: Urban Contemporary / Gospel / Soul Producer: Paul Tillman Smith
The music on this album has a smooth jazz feel to it. The lyrics are also very smooth. Lots of talent went into this record from the instrumentation to the various male and female vocalists. Speaking of vocalists, American Idol finalist Donnie Williams makes a special guest appearance. The message here is one of inspiration and hope. The title "Steps" alludes to 12 Step programs for overcoming addiction. Clearly this is something very close to the hearts of those involved in this project. Also much of this record's proceeds will go towards a scholarship fund for talented, yet at risk youth. To quote the press release, "If it wasn't for the help our record producer received as a young person from people who were strangers there would be no 'Steps' CD." When we put all of these factors together, we have a record that is on one hand streetwise, and on the other hand smooth as silk. Pick up "Steps" by Park Place at www.chumpchange.com. -DJ Jay-Jay
