Donald Lawrence delivers another solid musical offering with his new album, YRM (Your Righteous Mind), in stores August 9. An impressive follow-up to his 2009 Law of Confession Pt. 1, YRM shines in all the ways one would hope – intricate vocal performance meets dynamic musicianship. Lawrence's singers (dubbed "The Co.") excel on lead vocals and in the background, but he also solicits the musical fellowship of several guest artists, including Israel Houghton, Dorinda Clark Cole, Jason Nelson and Keith Staten. Perhaps most notable is the handful of tasteful remakes, such as the late Bishop Walter Hawkins' "When the Battle Is Over" and Commissioned's "How Can We Sing (In A Strange Land)." With each reworking, Lawrence applies his signature style to classic tunes, while remaining true to their original sound. Other stand-out songs include a cover of Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire," "The I AM Factor" and "Spiritual." With YRM (Your Righteous Mind), Donald Lawrence continues in his lane of masterful production, arrangement and artistry like only he can. He knows what the gospel consumer wants – a classic sound with contemporary influence – and he delivers it with ease.
