The human voice is the most captivating instrument ever created. This fact has never been more apparent than with the debut album by Committed, the six man group that won Season 2 of NBC’s hit a capella singing competition show, The Sing Off.

The self-titled album will give you goose bumps. The amazing symphonic melodies with vocal percussion and grooving vocal back beats of Committed’s remake of Chris Brown’s “Forever” is celestially stunning.  As you listen, it’s hard to believe sounds like guitars, synthesizers, drums, are all coming from the human voice. Vocals as smooth and refreshing as water with harmonies that will make the hair on your arms raise continue with the following original track, “Unstoppable”.  “Break Free”, a clear declaration of freedom and invitation for deliverance from bondage and full submission to God, is declarative and powerful. This debut album is profound both lyrically and vocally. Other great tracks include “Soon Ah Will Be done”, remakes of Maxwell’s “Pretty Wings” and Stevie Wonder’s “As”, and an original track encouraging one to dream, “Do Anything”.

Astounding harmonies and authentic declarative drum vocal rhythms resound as a powerful anthem in the song “Nothing Without You”, which exudes heartfelt passionate worship. In addition to the unbelievable vocal sounds, this album wraps eclectic expressions from Jazz, Gospel, Blues, Pop, R&B all in one sound. The symphonic versatility of Soul, Pop, love songs, and worship will surely make its way on your MP3 player as well as on top of the radio charts.  Smooth harmonies are showcased once again with a remake of Al Green’s soulful classic, “Let’s Stay Together”.

Following in the footsteps of Boys II Men, Bobby McFerrin, Take 6, and Naturally 7, the refreshing sounds of Committed will without a doubt impact mainstream culture. There is no question Committed’s debut album of life-affirming lyrics and astounding prolific sounds from the human voice will garner “committed” followers that will stay loyal for many years to come.
