When you listen to this CD the first words that come out of your mouth are quality, and well, quality. The vocals are great and the tracks are fantastic.

This CD has something for everyone. The very first song “Here Is Where It Starts” and “You Are Loved” are both very Progressive SG and the young people are sure to love these two. “Faith Talkin’ ” would make a great SG radio release. Written by Kevin Ward and Joel Lindsey, this song has a powerful message.

“Halfway” is a song with a neat play on words, and vocal arrangement is wonderful. They could put this one on the radio too. “Alabaster Box” is a nice crossover song that is being covered from CeCe Winans, but their rendition fits very well in to the SGM format.

“Keep On Keepin’ On”, penned by Daryl Williams and Marty Funderburk is their current radio release. This is a great testimony song of keepin’ on living for the Lord.

Group member Donna Beauvais wrote the very powerful ballad “One Day I Will”. The message of this song is so strong. If this is any indication of Donna’s writing abilities, then she should certainly put some more songs out. This song makes you want to go to heaven.

The CD ends with one of my favorite songs on this project. “Singing Heaven’s Song” has a real SG feel to it, so your hands will be clapping along with it. This cut would also do very well on radio.

Rating: 5 Star Rating

Donna and I are always joking that we were going through childbirth at the same time with our projects. We were cutting tracks around the same time, vocals around the same time, going through artwork at the same time...and we were there for each other praying each other through it. She and her family have become some of our dearest friends. When I got their CD we all just sat there in amazement. Sometimes a project just clicks and this one definately did for Hope's Call. We love them and are excited about everything good that is happening for them. Love The Dunaways

I LOVE THIS CD!!!!! I LOVE THIS GROUP!! I was so jealous that Deon got to review it! LOL!!! I heard this group for the first time at the recent SoGospelNEWS.com convention, and they got my attention. I bought their CD that afternoon, and it has scarcely been out of my CD player ever since. Good review, Deon. I whole heartely agree. "One Day I Will" is rapture material!!!! I was also blessed by their inclusing of a "How to get saved" message in the jewel case the CD comes in. Way to go!!

Blessings,

Bob

Hope's Call is one of the best groups out there today. The industry needs to sit up and take notice. My wife and I sang with them this past weekend. We have listened to the CD many times since then. It is one of the best produced projects I have heard in a long time. The best thing about H/C is they are as real as it gets. I have known Paul and Donna for almost ten years and have never seen or heard them act in a bad manner. They are truly a model of ministry. I do agree that Donna is a great writer (as evidenced by past albums) and she should keep that up. New singer and future son in law, Eddie is a great singer and is still young. I can only imagine what the future holds for this group. I am proud to call them freinds. I am also a huge FAN.

Donna Beauvais is one of my dearest friends and yes, she is some kind of a songwriter. Get Hope's Call's other albums if you want more of Donna's great writing. Love ya Hope's Call. Tom.

Question: How do you define, CLASS? Answer: HOPE'S CALL!! Honest, sincere, God called and anointed. This group not only puts out a great product in the studio and on stage. They are a product of a GREAT God! Paul, Donna, Jessica and Eddie: "You are loved beyond all measure..."

OK! I was going to stay out of this one . . . but I just can't. Once again I am honored to call these folks my family. Eddie and Jessica are two incredible young people with two phenominal voices. Donna is an unbelievably talented writer and singer. If you have not heard any other songs by Donna besides "One Day I Will" on this new project, then you need to get your hands on some of her stuff. Her writing is deffinately a hidden jewel to most of the industry. Proud of all of you. Especially my kids, Eddie and Jess.
