"Faithful" by Houstonian Rebecca Eaglin

Title: FAITHFUL
Artist: REBECCA EAGLIN
Record Label: DIVISION OF HIGH RECORDS (BMI)


This 22-year-old-Houstonian, Rebecca Eaglin has a similar voice like Deborah Cox. Eaglin’s CD is categorized in the contemporary gospel style. Eaglin, at a very young age, wrote or co wrote all of her songs on her re-released debut album & re-titled to “Faithful”. This very talented singer/songwriter is now attending University of Houston where she will obtain a bachelor's degree in business administration.

Eaglin accomplishment included being a featured artist on 2000 & 2001 GMWA Women of Worship CD by the Aleho International Music label. Other great artists from the CD’s include such as: Rev. Yvette Flunder, Kathy Taylor-Brown, Adrianne Lewis, Denise Tichenor, and Lucinda Moore.

The best song of the 13-track album is “Praise His Name”, a Jamaican-beat praise song. This song will get anyone moving; no one will want to sit down during this song. Most of all, do not forget to ‘praise his name’ everyday.

“The Biggest Part” is a love song ballad to Jesus. This is a great song to listen to, when you need to remind Jesus how much he means to you. Eaglin lyric calls mentions that with her daily life activities pulling her attention, she tends to forgets about the ‘biggest part” of one’s life.

“He’s Always There” has a dancing beat that makes you want to stay as 'He’s always there.'

“Worthy” is a worship song with symphony musical introduction. When listening to this song, you will begin to raise your hand and sing Jesus’ worthiness.

This “In God’s Hands” shows off Eaglin’s singing ability. During this song, the piano and percussion accompany her. This song reminds one of that big-band-style. The lyric accomplishes to assure you that your life, trust, and hope are always in his (God’s) hands.

“Stray” is a great song that recalls how Eaglin ‘strayed’ away from God, even though she realizes they have should just stayed on the right path of righteousness. She convincingly reminds you, not to stray and stay focused on “the race”.

“Dancin’ Shouting” starts out on one beat but changes beat in the beginning of the song. This makes the listener feel that the drummer skipped a beat. At the end of the song, the beat changes again but the beat does not meet the expectation of a dance beat, as the title expresses.

“Faithful” CD has some good songs and some not so great.
I give her a 3 out of 5 stars. * * * * *
