Ever wonder what would happen if you mixed Lauryn Hill with Chevelle Franklin and added in a healthy dose of live reggae instrumentation? Kristine Alicia answers that question with her debut release "Get Ready". The opening song, "Jehovah Jireh," starts the album on a high note with a driving steppers beat and huge, thick vocal delivery. Tracks two and three slow things down just enough to hear the full detail of Alicia's beautiful voice. Organic dancehall hypes up the energy with "Praise Dance," "One True Jah," and "All I Need." Other songs such as "Ask Me," and "Speak Lord," are truly beautiful songs with touching, heartfelt spiritual messages. Produced by the infamous Nigel Lewis, Kristine Alicia's "Get Ready" album is a rare treat--a mix of vocal talent, strong production, and songwriting that is truly hard to find. Every single Gospel Reggae fan should grab up this album without thinking twice!
