The B. David era has begun. His music is freely expressed through introspective and poetic concepts over wonderfully produced instrumentation. Storytelling is back and saturates his debut project, Life Journal. B. David inspires listeners to rethink their lifestyles and approach to moral absolutes in a climate of cultural correctness. B. David is the worship leader at Destiny Metropolitan Worship Church Atlanta, GA and the leader of Destiny Style Records acclaimed flagship-recording group, Destiny Praise. He now carves out a place in music that is unexplored by Christian artists.
Life Journal is unlike anything in Contemporary Christian music as it is not merely vertical. This project is a challenging document of well-crafted songs reminiscent of the works of legends such as James Taylor, Michael W. Smith, John Mayer and relative newcomer Brandon Heath. Just as Marvin Gaye and Maxwell communicated deep felt emotions with similar vocal sensitivity, a new era has begun with a fresh spiritual perspective for listeners, led by B. David.

B. David, worship leader of Destiny Metropolitan Worship Center in Marietta, Georgia and member of Destiny Praise releases his first solo album on the church’s in-house boutique label Destiny Style Records. Life Journal is a soulful and vulnerable examination of hope and healing painted from a broad musical pallet.
B’s lyrics serve as a personal testimony to one young man’s journey from hurt to hope. His musical witness is permeated by a joyful optimism firmly grounded on his personal experience of God’s loving graciousness and healing. The songs of Life Journal deftly avoid a Pollyanna outlook, acknowledging the grim reality of pain and suffering, but David reveals his scars with unencumbered honesty and a genuinely empathic perspective.
The music of Life Journal is a satisfying blend of rock, urban, gospel, and jazz. Nods toward Motown influences are subtle, yet evident. This blend and these influences create a sound which gives David’s music a broader accessibility to those unfamiliar with artists generally limited to the more traditional urban genre.
Fans of everyone from Tait and Bee Bee Winans, to, Donnie McClurkin, Smokie Norful and Israel Houghton should take the opportuntiy to savor this soul-barring musical celebration of faith and grace.
