Urban gospel pioneer Deitrick Haddon & Voices Of Unity shatters the traditional notion of what spiritual music should sound like on “Back to Life” (Tyscot). D Haddy projects an affirmative, feel-good message of faith. Where he shakes things up is on the music bed itself. Haddon has created a danceable, futuristic groove that is permeated with the percussive accouterments of `80s funk bands (think of The Gap Band, the Dazz Band, Zapp, and Prince & The Revolution) with the pulsating bass lines of a sweaty club DJ. The rhythm cascades between in-your-face Funk and lilting Trap music loops, before closing out with a pulsating 4-on-the-floor fade. The exhilarating, fun video was shot on locations around the Los Angeles area.
