OUR WORLD REDEEMED Synopsis
Posted February 01, 2008
By TEAMFLAME,
For a generation heavily inundated with fallen images, depicting a world redeemed will fall short of its true meaning because of our world's wiles, wickedness, and corruption - our world is fallen. The Bible pens for us God's redemption in Israel within the Old Testament and provides a vivid description of how, now, our world is being redeemed one person at a time through Jesus Christ. Until then, rest assured, there is joy, victory and hope that stems from the biblical fact that God will continue to redeem his people... FLAME's OUR WORLD REDEEMED merely serves as confirmation.
Arriving at a time when society is plagued more than ever with thoughts of doubt, fear and confusion, the blazing lyricist arises for his fourth album and sequel to OUR WORLD FALLEN where he left us on a cliffhanger. Swooping back on the scene to pick up where he left off, FLAME returns to conclude the dramatic epic in OUR WORLD FALLEN, present the study of the redemption process through pensive lyricism while taking us on a victorious driven journey that will exchange the thoughts of despair for redemptive thoughts of deliverance.
Immediately, in OUR WORLD REDEEMED, after wrapping up the OUR WORLD FALLEN story, FLAME literally makes a screeching halt to bring OUR WORLD REDEEMED's plateau to a high in the aptly titled 'Go Buck,' a track orchestrated by its amped opener and hook; laden with deep horns and bass boost. Continuing on its unflinching path, the album's most aggressive tracks include 'Who Can Pluck Us,' an extreme head banger laced with arranged strings and severe snares, and 'Hold On' that stakes a firm proclamation... crunk style. On the flip side, the album includes a lighter touch that embodies a tribute to the Lord in the soul stirring 'It's You' and the ballad that the industry is already calling a classic worship anthem for holy hip hop heads, 'Power In Your Name' featuring songstress Dawn Dia from the duo Cho'zyn. In 'See More Him,' a sincere breezy open heart prayer to God turned worship medley serves as FLAME's latest transparent track since the ever popular 'Give Us the Truth Part 1 & 2.'
Supported by top hit making producing vets Tony Stone, DJ Official, and fellow So Hot Productions member J.R., FLAME also teams up with amazing beat masters Chike, k-Drama, Speedy, and Alex Medina. Featuring 16 tracks of continuous hits, conceptual segues and collaborations with Trip Lee, Json, Iz-Real (Everyday Process), Future and shai linne, if this collection is not enough to persuade critics of an instant classic album, the highly celebrated venture and brilliantly placed outro, 'Joyful Noise,' is sure to catch everyone off guard. Infusing echoing snaps and sharp synthesizers with an unabashed wrenching rock infused electric guitar, the unforgettable track gleams with an appearance made by heavy hitting Gospel Rap artist Lecrae and tobyMac flavored John Reilly.
From his self-titled debut project to his second album, Rewind, FLAME's creative thread showed tremendous growth in his ability to easily pen the Truth from the Bible to the paper and from the paper to the mic. It is revealed in OUR WORLD FALLEN that FLAME's piercing and yet introspective lyrics could not be contained behind the album's concept, but, instead, it was clearly evident that he had undergone extensive artistic growth. The fire from FLAME continues in OUR WORLD REDEEMED, where the listener will be blown away by his killer hooks, heavy-handed production, clever rhyme schemes and conceptual story lines. The insanely talented Biblical Counseling student is currently attending Boyce College in Louisville, Kentucky but was born in the inner city streets of St Louis. Influenced by the Hip Hop culture, at the age of 16, FLAME was drawn by the Holy Spirit unto salvation and began to diligently seek Christ in his heart and to be used by Christ in his music. One of the youngest members on Cross Movement Records' roster, FLAME has garnered national recognition from a myriad of Christian magazines, the GMA through a Dove Award nomination, #1 singles from radio, and a host of other Christian and Gospel media outlets. FLAME was also recently honored by the Holy Hip Hop association for his labor towards advancing the Holy Hip Hop ministry. OUR WORLD FALLEN peaked at #7 on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart while he is consistently ranked each week MySpace's Top 10 Christian Rap artist and #1 Christian Rap artist out of Missouri.
FLAME's projects continue to outdo its predecessor with each groundbreaking release. This time, OUR WORLD REDEEMED exudes explosive energy amongst every track like he has never done before. Through the compelling goal to reinforce the dire need to accept Jesus Christ as the way, the Truth and the life by igniting his listeners - through music - to live out our purpose according to God's plan, OUR WORLD REDEEMED instantly clenches the attention of all; focusing believers on celebrating the finished work on the cross and the redemptive work of Christ within a fallen world.
