iTunes Review

As a member of Fred Hammond’s acclaimed gospel troupe Radical for Christ, Joann Rosario learned how to combine traditional gospel sounds with contemporary hip-hop and neo-soul stylings, and her third release Joyous Salvation (2007) hews close to this winning formula. Rosario straddles a number of genres as an artist: she can muster the melismas of a soul diva, glide along with a pop groove, or kindle some Latin fire as she chooses. At times, she can launch into stirring testimony, as shown in “Restore to Me” and “Holy God.” More often, though, she adopts a more understated stance, riding upon billowy, atmospheric rhythms in “Traces,” “More Than Anything” and “Come on Everybody (Vamos Todos Juntos).” The singer’s gratitude to God is a reoccurring theme, lending intimacy and warmth to songs like “Glory to You” and “Beyond.” Worthy of special mention is “Beautiful Son,” a mother’s prayer to Christ draped in shimmering strings. Though perhaps a little too laid-back in some spots, Joyous Salvation works well as an elegant, heartfelt contemporary gospel expression.

Joyous Salvation...Joyous Indeed

Ms. Joann has done it again!! I was looking forward to this album for months now and was not disappointed. I'm a huge fan and really love her more slower songs. More Than Anything and Beyond are my favorite songs on the album, even though I love them all!!! God bless her and when you listen to the songs, I hope you are as blessed as I was. Praise God!!

The Best Yet!

My husband (JoeyTPA,) blessed me with a download of this cd within the last twenty minutes....WOW! Again Joann brings you back to the heart of worship. Her ballots draw you into the presence of God with songs such as track 4 "More Than Anything" & Track 5 "You Are Holy". At the same time her signature mix of urban and Latin style is still present as with her first album. Once again Joann has shown us there is "Joyous Salvation"! By: Nykky S.

Awesome
