Keen
has long been one of contemporary Christian
music's most compelling voices. From her days as
part of the award-winning group First Call to
her recent solo efforts, Keen has always been a
study in musical excellence and integrity. On
her latest collection, she serves up a variety
of musical flavors, from the bluesy buoyancy of
"Sweet Forgiveness" to the exotic,
African-influenced "Kum Ba Ya." "My Beloved" is
infused with a soaring Celtic feel; it serves as
a perfect showcase for Keen's powerful pipes.
She also demonstrates her
skill as a songwriter, co-writing
such poignant cuts as "When God Says No,"
"Something Was Broken" and the title track.
Hope, redemption and the goodness of God's mercy
are recurrent themes. Throughout, Keen sings
with the passion and conviction of an artist who
has lived each lyric: a perfect example of music
and life experience fusing to create great
art.—DEP
