Jimetta Rose & The Voices Of Creation

A spirit-lifting, soul-stirring devotional that effortlessly unites house, funk, soul, RnB and hip-hop influences, 'Things Are Getting Better' hears the Los Angeles-based vocal group reach new heights to spread a message of faith and togetherness in troubled times.

Knitting together influences from across eras, ‘To Each is Zone’ nods to Faith, Hope And Charity’s 1975 single ‘To Each His Own’, flipping the meaning of the song into a new context, and reinforcing the humility needed in times of division. Showcasing Jimetta’s vocal harmonies, ‘Miracles’ embodies the idea that the voice can inspire faith where none seems forthcoming. Like ‘Real To Me’, it feels like a lost classic from the great American songbook, imbuing the grace of the vocal performance with a timeless quality. And if gospel house brought the choir to the club, then ‘Everyday Blessings’ brings the kick drum to the church – a belter for transcendence, not preached from up high, but delivered from the congregation. The album closes with the urgent, shuffling breakbeat of ‘Everywhere I Look’, bringing together elements of Black music history from turntablism to Pharoah Sanders’ ‘Love is Everywhere’ in the complete expression of Jimetta’s ministry. Like a ‘Stand on the Word’ for the 21 st century, ‘Everywhere I Look’ will resonate far and wide.
