If you weren't paying careful attention, you might not even notice that it's religiously themed; the opening \"I Believe I Can Fly\" (a studio duet with Gerald Levert) sounds more like the big romantic ballad from a hit movie than a paean to the Lord. (Hey, wait a minute--it was the big romantic ballad from a hit movie, specifically the Michael Jordan\/Bugs Bunny vehicle SPACE JAM).\n\u003cbr\u003eIn any case, it's not long before the listener gets the message, as Adams sends her sultry alto soaring through a nice selection of songs from her hit album MOUNTAIN HIGH, VALLEY LOW, including \"Open My Heart,\" which occasions some particularly serious testifying. The bottom line is that while the album's carefully calculated mix of gospel, hip-hop, and soul is designed for maximum crossover appeal, it undeniably works, and it should strike even the most secular of humanists as uplifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Gospel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2001-03-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yolanda Adams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41675616976955,"sku":"EVP-075596262927","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0375\/2873\/1707\/files\/yolanda-adams-experience_bpczj.jpg?v=1776504085","url":"https:\/\/record-stop.com\/products\/yolanda-adams-experience-cd","provider":"Record Stop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
