Motown Gospel Presents 1 Mic 1 Take

Worth Fighting For (1 Mic 1 Take)

It is 2018, and that alone describes today’s culture, society, and thinking. It is a time marred
by fracture, division, and confusion and it has been some time that message-oriented music
has such relevance. As the effects of today’s America impacts every element of our day-today lives, it surely has an impact on our music. A GREAT WORK is an album that speaks
right to the heart of the national conversation. Brian Courtney Wilson reflects on today’s culture of faith, on community & social injustice and our relationship with God. It is an album for
the modern day church and modern-day believers.
Wilson raises the consciousness with A GREAT WORK. As a whole, it seeks to encourage
our spirits, to strengthen our hearts and to restore our confidence in God and ourselves. Lyrically it contemplates the forces shaping American culture; and offers Brian’s perspective on
this GREAT truth of God.
“I started to think about reinforcing confidence and value … and how we as a community, as
African-Americans and as believers, have so much worth nurturing and worth preserving,”
Wilson said. “We have a culture worth building on. Delivering this message and music still
maters.”
A message built upon hope, and on the biblical truths of God’s love, salvation and grace are
worth treating like gold in Wilson’s telling. He treats his gift as valuably as he does the message and it’s evident on this project. Song to song there’s something beautiful and strong.
Working with a collection of top writers and producers, a veritable who’s who in music that
includes V. Michael McKay, Aaron Lindsay, Warryn Campbell, Marvin Winans, and Erik
Dawkins, Mano Hanes, and Shaun Martin this becomes Brian’s literal ‘Great work.'
A GREAT WORK is a profound collection of moving lyrics and a celebration of music styles
that reveal Wilson at a new level of sophistication and depth in his artistry. You can hear the
influences of Sam Cooke, Donny Hathaway and Luther Vandross throughout, as well as smart
production choices, make A GREAT WORK unlike anything in today’s field. There is dance,
funk, R&B, soul and traditional gospel throughout the 10-tracks. “One More Praise,” reminds
you of the best part you’ve ever been to; while “Won’t Let Go,” is throwback soul. Another efficacious gem is “Our Father Is Kind,” that tenderly showcases Wilson’s vocals.
