This CD is something that you and your mother can both enjoy. The first half of the CD is geared towards the youth as hip-hop beats lay the foundation for the word of GOD in song. The second half of the CD is reminiscent of Sunday morning church where the choir sing songs of praise before the Preacher brings forth the word of GOD. Be it today's urban sounds or yesterdays's old-school choir music, one thing remains constant on this CD - the Word of GOD. There is no uncertainty to what you are listening to, this is gospel music. For example, check the title track "TEN" and see how The Velazquez Family Singers put the 10 Commandments into song over a urban contemporary beat. The Velazquez Family Singers With a father who is a member of Opera Ebony, the oldest surviving black opera company in America, and mother who was a R&B recording artist, singing came as naturally to Velazquez kids as walking did other children. Now, at the ages of 15, 13, & 11, the children with their dad are ready for what GOD has destined for this family.
