Trip Lee's Best Album
Posted August 24, 2013
By JESUSFREQ,
This album is by far Trip Lee's best album, musically and lyrically.
The first song is New Dreams, featuring JR and Sho Baraka. This song is the perfect opener about what Trip Lee thought the good life was, and what it really is. JR's voice is beautiful on the chorus. The production is also amazing. Next is the single Robot, about how we're all born slaves to the world, and how Jesus can free us from our 'robot' bodies. This also fit the theme perfectly. I'm Good is a really good song about hw the world can't hurt our spirits as Christians. This features Lecrae, and is arguably one of the best songs on the album. The production of this is also really good. War is the 4th song, and once again this song is also above average. The majority of the album is above average. Fallin featuring J Paul follows War. This is about when Christians sin. You really feel what Trip feels, and the message is clear. The production is great. J Paul's voice is amazing, and adds to the feeling. J Paul (for those that don't know) was on Lecrae's Just Like You. Following is iLove, about phone addictions. A song like this is needed nowadays, and challenges anyone. It's really creative how he personified his phone as a girlfriend. Next is "Know Me," a game-turned song, where he gives 'clues' as to who he is pretending to be. By the end he reveals that he was posing as the Bible, although it is made clear before the end. I didn't enjoy this one, and felt like it was a filler. However, many say it has an old school feel, and I can't disagree. This is the first weak song on the album. There aren't too many on this album though. After is One Sixteen, the Reach Records anthem on this allbum. It's really fun and catchy. Trip's verse is dope enough by itself, but the song is made just that more awesome with KB and Andy Miineo on it. This is one of the highlights along with I'm Good. After is Heart Problem, which adresses the fact that money, sex, and power aren't bad on their own, but when we abouse or misuse them, that's when they become a sin. Following is another highlight, "Take Me There" featuring the heavenly vocals of Jimmy Needham. He is placed beautifully on this track, and it really gives off the feel about longing for heaven, and not being able to wait to get there. Beautiful Life follows this, and is an important song with abortion being popular nowadays. He adresses that issue. V Rose's vocals add a lot to it, and fit beautifully with the message. The production is also really good. Next is Fantasy featuring Suzy Rock about how many people are living (or trying to live) the american dream, which is a fantasy, and not the true good life. The production on this is also to boast about. Love On Display, song number 13, really gets one worshipping. It features Andy Mineo on the Chorus. Song number 14 is For My Good featuring Jai. Jai is a great singer (Lecrae's God Is Enough, Thi'sl- Hope Road, Trip Lee- The Invasion). This song is about how God won't have us go through anything unless it's good for us. Last;y is Good Thing, a song about Trip's wife, featuring Leah Smith. I didn't feel this one, although Leah Smith is an amazing singer. Buy this album asap
