"We didn't recognize the song," Da'dra admits. "And we were totally blown away. We loved it." Anointed fans, particularly younger listeners, are sure to love it too. The mesmerizing blend of urban backbeats and rock guitar sends the already jubilant gospel track into the stratosphere.
When Da'dra and Steve wanted to capture the soaring, airy melodies of "Trust In You" and "Now Is The Time," they turned to Christian pop producer Heimermann. "It started with a melody," says Steve of "Trust In You." Heimermann built on that melody and the track evolved into a fusion of bouncy, youthful rock over a gritty, funky groove. “Now Is The Time,” the album's title track, almost didn't happen. Da'dra and Bose had written the song for another artist, but the artist didn't use it and the song sat in limbo. The breezy, lighthearted pop track is a faith affirmation for Da'dra and Steve.
"It speaks to faith being the key to fulfilling your purpose in life," Da'dra explains. "The time to believe is when no one else except you and God can see. Your actions will follow your belief system and move you toward the place you need to be. It speaks so much to where we are as artists."
The album is rounded out with two more Campbell-produced tracks, "Mighty Long Way" and "Gotta Move," as well as another from Heimermann, “The Great I Am.”
Anointed fans, it sounds like the duo’s ready to make a comeback. Look forward to their new CD!
