Sounds of Praise: Shake Heaven (2011)

I was checking out Gospel Music Channel's Uplifting Urban music block yesterday, and what did I find? How about 90's R & B star Montell Jordan?!

Jordan, according to his Wikipedia page, walked away from the music business after his last CD was released in 2008. He became a born-again Christian and joined with the Victory World Church in Georgia, where he is now the Worship minister. VictoryWorldMusic uploaded Jordan's 1st single in 3 years, "Shake Heaven", to YouTube:



Jordan had rocketed to fame in 1995 with his #1 hit, "This Is How We Do It", which still gets airplay at sports venues everywhere 16 years later. He's not the first mainstream pop artist to make the transition, and may not be the last, either.
