MEDIA REVIEWS:
Vonnie Blackshear of Mount Rainier, Maryland was one of the top ten finalists representing Washington, DC for Bishop Paul Morton’s Gospel Dream 2004 gospel tour. Her current single, “Total Praise,” is not the Richard Smallwood composition but a jazzy, even-tempo contemporary song that the singer delivers in a laid-back, intimate manner. It stresses the importance of praise in the good times and in bad. The call and response chorus between Blackshear and her background vocalists is the highlight of the single. “Walking In Victory”, Vonnie’s freshman project as an independent artist, is scheduled for release in 2012.
