JAMAICA GLEANER... Audrey Gordon is 'Still Waiting' published: Friday | March 4, 2005 ... Teino Evans, Staff Reporter... AUDREY GORDON, a Jamaican by birth now living in Canada, has been utilising her every moment to serve the Lord and spread his word to all. Gordon, who left Jamaica in 1990, accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and personal saviour two years later and has since been making the most of her God-given talents. Gordon has been involved in her community as a soloist. Some of her performances include opening the Canadian Christian Festival, held at Mel Lastman's Square. Gordon also performed at the first annual dinner for the CHINDS Scholarship Foundation and was also part of an evening of praise and worship held at the Heritage Theatre in Brampton, Canada. During her stint as a gospel artiste, Gordon has had the privilege of sharing stages with the likes of Papa San, Carlene Davis, Kay Morris and the Jewels, Joshua Generation, Marvia Providence, Barbara Jones, the Toronto Mass Choir and others. POWERFUL AND VERSATILE SINGER Gordon, who has been described as a very powerful and versatile singer who transcends all age, religious, ethnic and racial barriers, continues to draw from her main source of strength, Jesus Christ. "It has been a long, hard journey, but it is the right time. Like Moses, and like Esther, God has been preparing me, preserving me for a time such as this, and I feel like I am going to break forth like vintage wine. Jeremiah said when he wanted to keep quiet it felt like fire in his bones and I can attest to that," Gordon said. Gordon recently released her debut album (October 2004) entitled Still Waiting, which boasts 15 tracks with a blend of roots, traditional, techno and dancehall reggae tunes. http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20050304/ent/ent1.html More Entertainment | E-mail this story | Print this Page © Copyright 1997-2004 Gleaner Company Ltd. | Privacy Policy | Disclaimer | Letters to the Editor | Suggestions ______________________________________________________ JAMAICA OBSERVER... By Carl Gilchrist Observer staff reporter: Audrey Gordon's Still Waiting CD - a real gospel treat Entertainment Friday, March 18, 2005... OCHO RIOS - Don't be fooled by the title of Audrey Gordon's debut gospel CD, Still Waiting, because based on the evidence thus far the CD will be a hit both in the gospel and secular arena. Still Waiting is simply powerful and moving. On the album Audrey sings and deejays her own lyrics in all the songs except for two, which she co-wrote. "It's been a long hard journey but it is the right time. Like Moses and like Esther, God has been preparing me, preserving me for a time such as this," she is quoted as saying in a recent interview in Canada. Indeed, it's been a long journey. She accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Saviour in 1992, two years after leaving her native Jamaica to settle in Canada. Since then she has been performing mainly in her community and over the years has grown into a reputable artiste. She has shared the stage with performers such as Papa San, Carlene Davis, Marvia Providence, Toronto Mass Choir, Barbara Jones and others. But it was not until October 2004 that her debut album "Still Waiting' was released and this signaled the beginning of what should be a prosperous career for her. The album, with 15 songs plus two bonus tracks, is reggae gospel at its best and should do well in all sectors, be it the gospel arena or the dancehall. Yes, there are tracks that are done on dancehall rhythms that stand out, especially track two, Hail Him. On this track Audrey could easily be mistaken for Tanya Stephens and this selection should do well especially in the dance hall in much the same way Marvia Providence did last year with Hear My Cry. The smooth and soothing Gentle Dove also stands out, while He's Worthy, Rock Me, Lord You're Good and I Praise You, also deserve special mention. On the CD jacket Audrey mentions Mark Giles, rhythm maker, producer, arranger and mixer as wind beneath her wings. It's clear this debut CD has wings and should take off like the Gentle Dove she sings about on track four.
He's Worthy
