Content

It encompasses a gamut of musical styles: soul and pop as well as traditional gospel. Featured are covers of the Stevie Wonder gospel composition "Have a Talk With God," along with the Jackie DeShannon-penned inspirational classic, "Put a Little Love in Your Heart." The hymn "Have Thine Own Way" pairs Norwood with Hip hop artist Ray J vocally. Popular gospel group the Williams Brothers penned and contributed backing vocals to the tracks "The Search Is Over" and "No Limit." The gospel classic "I'd Trade a Lifetime" takes Norwood back to his early years in the church. The track features a guest appearance from keyboardist Billy Preston. He also teams up with his daughter R&B/pop singer Brandy on the track "A Love Shared." The track also features sax work from Kirk Whalum.
