| Song: | "One Heart" |
| Band: | the b.a.s.i.c. band |
| Genre: | Rhythm & Blues / Gospel |
The Brothers and Sisters in Christ Band created this original masterpiece. Lead vocalist Tracy Glenn does a superb job of singing her heart out while backed by the band. These talented musicians and singers combine all of their skill and knowledge to bring us a new song filled with love and hope through belief in Christ. Tracy's vocals are light and quite soothing with a unique feeling. Of course the bluesy feel of the accompanying music is soothing to the soul too.
The lyrics express a heart that is always missing something, no matter how busy or occupied that soul is, the heart is missing a piece. Then the refrain states that there is one heart that always remains constant, and that is that Jesus' love will always be there.
The production of the music is good. The vocals are clear and the levels of the combined instruments are all well recorded. The video features various images helping to convey the feeling of loneliness and emptiness combined with images featuring various lyrics throughout the song all done in a retro sepia sort of way with old style film shake and shudder.

Your voice carries this song,because you have a voice with "One Heart"
ReplyDeleteAnd I ----"love it"----
The only way this band might be more satisfying to hear would be live. I could hardly wait to buy their 1st album and burn it to CD. Yes, I know the videos are an important part of the artistry, but the audio's comforting messages and Tracy's too-die-for bluesy voice is the balm of Gilead in any situation. Feeling bad? It will lift you up. Feeling sad? It's the true soul music. Feeling great? Your spirit will go aloft, floating on tones you wish could come from your own throat. It's a one-size-fits-all mood elevator. It's legal and it's edifying; it's all that and Scriptural promises of comofort in troubled times. It's soul food without the calories, and I think our Lord must be smiling to see this gift giving back to all who hear this not so basic band.

ReplyDeleteFirstly, congratulations Trace and guys for the wonderful review on "One Heart"..and well deserved..I first came across Basicband a few months back and was absolutely blown away and gobsmacked by their talent, as songwriters, vocalists and how wonderfully their songs were put together and produced.."One Heart" is one of my faves..and one of the very few songs that I've come across in the past that literally gives me goosebumps..in fact all of the bands compositions effect me this way.. The space, the intimacy, and the overall performance of "One Heart truly makes this song a very emotional and pleasurable listening experience.. and the fact that's it's not over produced adds the icing..I might also add that Trace has one of the most incredible voices that I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.. :) I wish Basicband all the very best and hope they recieve the recognition they deserve..
Love you Trace, and will always love your talent..
