notes

Like a welcomed breeze on a hot and hazy day, Lori Perry delivers a breath of fresh air that redefines the parameters of gospel, jazz and R&B music. Known by some of the top entertainers in the world she has been a featured voice on countless projects and stage shows.

Growing up, Lori first sang with her three sisters whose grandfather called upon their whole family to comprise the entire choir for his small church. Eventually the stage became home for the sisters and the group Perri was formed; their talents became regularly sought after by artists like Pat Metheny, The Yellow Jackets, Anita Baker, George Duke, Cher, Brian Culbertson, Roberta Flack, Sting, George Michael and Seal to name a few.

Even though her love for the stage continued to grow, Lori realized that something was missing in her life. As Perri developed a name for themselves and were working on their very first major release through MCA Records... Lori had a revelation. A seed was planted in her spirit which told her that she would never truly be happy and fulfilled with her music until she started to use that music in praise of the Lord above. Many years passed, the hunger and yearning began to grow in her heart. In 2003 Lori began to work on her first solo release, entitled "Wrote This Song", she calls this spirit-based music featured on the project "GoJazz". The fusion combines Gospel and Jazz music with a unique synergy leaving the listener feeling completely uplifted and calmed at the same time.

Lori was inspired by so many great singers and song writers to write almost every song on her project covering a wide range of emotion and depth. "My testimony is actually one that encompasses the testimonies of many others. I feel compelled to be the voice for many individuals who don't get the opportunity to put a microphone in their hand and reach thousands of people at one time. I want to tell their stories for them as well as walk you through my spiritual journey." Songs like "No Longer Run" depict Lori's testimony as she proclaims her relationship with her music and begins to minister to herself. Another song impacting radio "I Found It In You" moves a step farther in her journey giving praise to the Father above for the changes she has made in her life.

Not knowing where the Lord would lead her after she finished the project, she patiently waited until the door was opened to her ideas and music. Lori is poised and ready to convert one listener at a time with her story, unmistakable voice and fresh production - offering a total package of musical aromatherapy to your soul.

    In a year where lovers of classy, jazz influenced soul have been treated to great albums by strong female vocalists Anita Baker, Gabrielle Goodman and Louise Perryman, listeners now have been gifted with another gem in the form of this excellent and long awaited return by Lori Perry. Highly recommended. [to see the entire review, visit http://www.soultracks.com/lori_perry.htm]

    I use this CD to approach the presence of my Lord, Jesus Christ. The song I FOUND IT IN YOU is very powerful in praise and worship, as well as all the songs. I am recommending it to my whole congregation.

  • author: S. Beauford

    I love Ms. Perry's CD. It is light and fresh. It has a real smooth sound and is nice to listen to in rush hour traffic. I listen to it on my way to and from work.

  • Outstanding, soothing, full of praise.
    author: Angie Kemp

    This Album is the greatest CD I've heard ever. I heard her for the first time on 97.5 in Atlanta and the Radio station got an overwhelming amount of inquiries of wanting to know who is that singing that song. It stopped me in my tracks the first time I heard that voice. I search the web looking for Lori. Unfortunately I put www.loriperry.com and was unable to find her site. I was able to find her through Amazon.com and ordered her album and was very anxious in my wait. It is not only full of God gifted talent but I can honestly say I feel the presence of God through this project. Thank You......We Love it!! Keep it coming. Blessings to you.

  • Wonderful !!
    author: Shonda B

    This is a wonderful and refreshing CD. It truly is an original,something you don't hear too often.I love it!! And,I can't wait for future releases.

  • Very Very Very Good!!
    author: The Lori Perry CD

    I really like the CD. My favorite song is #4. I listen to it on repeat all day long. The Cd is very relaxing. It does me justice when it's raining. Thank You Lori!

  • Inspirational and Amazing
    author: Adam

    I've always loved Lori Perry's voice: as backup singer for Anita Baker, as part of Perri, or on her various guest appearances. Finally, a CD of her own -- and what a CD it is! This album is filled with love and warmth. What a joy! I must also compliment CDBABY on their great customer service. Thanks all around!

  • True singing, no machines just a great voice.
    author: g.owens

    A great CD. it's real music and a real voice. The CD in very well produced. It's uplifting and say things I have always wanted to say. Not just another CD! Buy it, listen and hang on for the ride.

  • This album should be nominated for a stellar award.
    author: lady j

    What a refreshing new sound, the selections are awesomely arranged, I love every song, the music is soulful, relaxing, and very inspirational.

  • when every song captivatesthere is no doubt it's a god send
    author: freddie lee reynolds

    as my custom i usually get stuck on one song and stay there for awhile. but when every song captivates the soul there is no doubt that this unique sound of praise & worship is a godsend. everything about this cd is unique from cover to cover.

  • A lovely collection
    author: Rich UK

    Exudes warmth and subtlety - a worthy solo release after some stunning work over many years. I hope this CD is heard as it's just too good to be missed.

  • author: Mark D (UK)

    Oh dear. I'm not easy about this at all. This is Xcellent in every way. It's faultless. Talent, material & production - everything about it shines. And then consider the musical pedigree of the lady herself !I know & appreciate all that, and yet I feel an utter philistine and completely insensible to beauty and all things sublime, because no matter how I approach this, it just doesn't move me. What's wrong with me ? This is beautiful artistry and yet - I can't make myself like it, no matter what I do. It's evidently a failure on my part, and this just has to be the most stupid, self-contradictory review I've ever given, but I can't get away from how I feel about it. I'm so sorry.

  • lovely songs
    author: sytes

    Her voice is very refreshing. She should be a household name, this CD is worth every dollar.

    author: Rick Kneal

    Lori is my favorite artist and I have waited a very long time for this new cd. It is wonderful! I love every single song. To realize that Lori has written almost all of the songs, sings ALL of the vocals, produced it, and even plays keyboard AND bass makes this a showcase for a very gifted woman. I recommend this cd to anyone and plan on giving it to all my loved ones for Christmas. God has truly blessed Lori and I want to share her with everyone.

  • This is an amazing album, and a most refreshing listening experience!
    author: The God7

    This is an amazing album, and a most refreshing listening experience! I can't explain how this CD moved me, and how it has helped me gain a peaceful focus in my life. From beginning to end, this album reminds me just how much I have missed true music from a true artist. Lori brings professionalism, class, and a true understanding of what it takes to make a song more than a passing listening experience. Lori's debut can only be described using the word CLASSIC.

  • Gospel vocals at their very best...
    author: L-Love

    My grandmother was Warner Brothers gospel singer Marry Grider (R.I.P), and in listening to this Cd I was brought back so many memories.

  • "Fresh, Innovative, Out of the Box"
    author: al brewster

    I wrote this song is one the county's most outstanding, and glorious gospel album of all times. Each composition is freshly sprinkled with originality and love. While the music legitimately expresss itself clearly as lori's own testimonies of life expierences. The message is clear and the time is NOW! For a fresh genre to appear in the music business. Lori, Keep on Keeping on.

  • Great, excellent vocals and production, finally plan ole' good music.
    author: Maurice Goodman

    I had heard of Lori Perry, everyone says she sounds a lot a Anita Baker and Angela Bofill. I think she has her own unique sound, however I can hear the similarities. Great CD. I actually enjoy every song on the project, very jazzy and inspirational.
