Christon Gray has just released his newest album Clear The Heir and Lucky Murray is reviewing it on #CHHTODAY. Christon Gray has signed to RCA inspirational and Fo Yo Soul Recording a Kirk Franklin record label. Christon Gray last album The Glory Album was released in 2015. This is his fourth studio album what do you think about the album.
What It Sounds Like:
Clear The Heir is reminiscent of Gray's first release, Even With Evil With Me. The piano-driven ballads with impeccable vocal range are the centerpiece, however, do not put Christon in a box. The man can spit bars for days, "Gray," "Grow Up," "Time Out" and "You and I (Sampson's Lament)" make this crystal clear.
Spiritual/Lyrical Highlights:
"Take Me To The Water" highlights a desire to be washed clean from sin. But more than just being washed, it is about the struggle we feel when we feel the tug of God's call on our hearts. "You and I" touches on a struggle with sin and spiritual warfare involved. The track cleverly lays out what could have been Sampson's lament over Delilah.
Best Song On The Record:
"Gray" has so much depth lyrically, it touches on recent social issues and calls the church to more action. It is an Ohio all-star show featuring Gray's brother Taelor and Tragic Hero. It isn't a song that can be listened to once. It is a song to sit with. The chorus is an exhortation to the listener, "There's a Heaven and we all wanna go/Does anybody wanna fall on the sword/Take my hand, I just want you to know/Healing begins when you call on the Lord."
Final Word:
Christon Gray is a rule breaker. He does not fit neatly within one genre. Rather, he blends them together, making something that can only be his own. His journey over the years has been the tale of the underdog. This is an artist that should not be counted out or brushed aside. Clear The Heir is an album that will be revisited years from and considered groundbreaking in its own right. Read More Here
