“Music that feeds the heart and soothes the soul, daar gaat het wat mij betreft over” zegt Michelle David, zangeres van ‘Michelle David & The Gospel Sessions’ wanneer ze gevraagd wordt wat Gospel voor haar betekent / wanneer ze praat over het nieuwste album van de band. 2017 was een moeilijk jaar voor me. Binnen een korte periode verloor ik enkele van mijn dierbaren, waaronder mijn allerliefste Moeder. Meer dan ooit had ik de behoefte aan muziek. Muziek die me door de moeilijke momenten sleepte, muziek die me troostte en muziek die me de kracht gaf om door te gaan. Ik weet zeker dat de mensen deze boodschap van hoop en kracht terug horen in de nieuwe songs op dit album. Dit album is waarschijnlijk mijn meest persoonlijke tot nu toe”.
 
De teksten zijn misschien het meest persoonlijk tot nu toe, de muziek op Vol 3. klinkt zeker veelzijdiger dan ooit. Vol.1 ontstond naar aanleiding van de zoektocht van Onno Smit en Paul Willemsen naar de oorsprong van de Gospel. Iets dat was ontstaan door de liefde van beide mannen voor Soul en Rhythm and Blues muziek. Zij zochten naar de oorsprong van hun geliefde genres en kwamen uit bij Gospel zoals vertolkt door bijvoorbeeld Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Dit inspireerde hen tot het maken van een album waarbij de songs werden gestript tot het essentiële overbleef. Vaak uitgevoerd met niet meer dan een tamboerijn en een oude gitaar. Vol 2. had al een meer soulvolle benadering. Een meer geraffineerd geluid dat te horen was vanaf eind jaren '50, zoals Sam Cooke en Bobby Womack dat hadden. Voor dit album hebben ze zich laten inspireren door de beginjaren van de Funk en Soul. Dat is onder meer te horen in het meer gebruiken van de basgitaar en zeker ook het toevoegen van blazers. Op drie liedjes zijn de 'Jakthorns' te horen, die al meerdere optredens met the Gospel Sessions meespeelden. Ook Benjamin Herman is te horen op dit album. Hij voorziet het op Ethiopiques geïnspireerde nummer “Walk With Me” van een extra mystiek randje.
Andere etnische invloeden, zoals Afrobeat en Cumbia (luister bijvoorbeeld maar naar Proverbs 3) zijn ook te horen op dit album. Door het toevoegen van percussionist Bas Bouma werd het geluid nog breder gemaakt. 
 
Onno Smit legt uit: “Vol.1 en 2 waren voor ons een zoektocht en een reis naar het vinden de wortels van de muziek waar wij van houden, maar ook naar het vinden van ons geluid, onze stem. Op Vol. 3 hebben we die gevonden. Zowel live als in de studio. Het is onze interpretatie van Gospel, gewikkeld in een dekentje van Soul, Blues, Jazz and Afrobeat.
 It’s a record that will blast from your speakers in Technicolor!”
 
Met dit album is de band klaar om de rest van de wereld te veroveren. Vorig jaar werden voorzichtig de eerste stappen gezet met optredens in London en verscheidene shows in België (o.a. Deep in the Woods festival) en overal waar ze speelden zagen ze dezelfde reactie bij het publiek. Er werd gedanst, gejuicht en mensen werden verbonden door de boodschap van Liefde.
 
“And that’s what we want to do all over the globe” roept Michelle David. “World, get ready to be GOSPELIZED”.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.
