Reset by Isaac Carree

Written by George Daigle The man of standard, Isaac Carree, follows the success of his 2011 solo debut record "Uncommon Man" with his sophomore release, “Reset”. With “Reset”, Isaac takes it up several levels and delivers a project that allows him to morph into an artist that is able to create a solid work of music featuring all the facets of who he is today. “Reset” is laced with cameos from R&B veterans, R. Kelly and Joe, Holy Hip Hop dynamo Lecrae and Carree’s gospel contemporaries: Neka Brown, James Fortune, Kirk Franklin, Le'Andria Johnson, Kevin Lemmons and Higher Calling, Kierra Sheard, and Twyse. Every cut resets from where the one before left off; exposing another nuance of the skill Issac Carree has honed as a member of John P Kee’s V.I.P. Mass Choir, Men of Standard and later as a solo artist. The premier single, “Clean This House” finds us wondering exactly who we are listening to and Carree sounds a lot like R. Kelly. Just listen to the remix of “Clean...” You can barely tell which is singing when. However this does not at all detract from Isaac Carree as a vocalist. He delivers the R&B tinged ballad with dexterity and clarity.  “Reset” features the bulk of the writing credit from the pens of Eric Dawkins(who has worked Avant, Keke Wyatt, Kierra Sheard,Joe,Quincy Jones and as a part of the duo Dawkins and Dawkins) Phil Cornish (who has worked with Bishop Paul S. Morton, Raheem Devaughn, and Musiq(Soulchild) Ronnie Jackson and Isaac Carree. The finer points of “Reset” can be heard as the listener moves further into the 15 cut recording. Here are some highlights of the standout cuts from “Reset” “Paradise” is a ballad that talks about what Heaven will be like.The chorus says, “No more tears and no more pain. I wanna hear him say “well done” when He calls my name” “But God” pairs Carree with James Fortune. The mid tempo inspirational tune boasts a little R&B swagger that reminds the listener how they almost seemed to lose out “but God” brought them out. “Blessin’ In the Lesson” pairs Caree with Sunday Best winner Leandria Johnson The song is part testimony from both Carree and Johnson that turns to straight church at the end.  “Reset” everything you thought you knew about Isaac Carree and listen from beginning to end. Get it! Love it! Live it! +isaac Carree

Breathtakingly Inspirational

Tanya Blount has undoubtedly always been an awesome vocalist. Her deliver on this song is so pure and powerful. The message is inspiring to anyone who felt relegated to the titles, limitations  and labels society has placed on them. I bought it and had it on repeat all day. I only wish it was longer. Get it! Love it! Live it!
