“Certainly Lord” opens with a folky guitar and classic gospel vibes before it explodes into a more modernized open sound. The layering of those groovy tribal beats, blues-dipped guitars, ad-libs, and vocal harmonies is impressive! They all go together in perfect harmony with neat production, creating an extremely enjoyable dynamic structure that’ll get you hooked right from the start. That uplifting structure has a beautiful fluid ascending progression, it gets more alive with brighter sounds as it moves on, Ramey tunes things down a bit around the middle of the song, before flexing her angelic voice’s abilities after she nods to her rock influences with a rocking solo. All that is topped by Lisa Ramey’s powerful, diverse vocals that control the whole song’s dynamics through her captivating performance, until she ends “Certainly Lord” on a high note showing her uniquely powerful voice. 

Lisa Ramey brings her modern sound, powerful voice, and diverse influences into the world of gospel, creating something her very own on “Certainly Lord”. She managed to keep things interesting with her catchy tunes and charismatic voice, even while taking intense dynamic turns. A really enjoyable ride with Lisa Ramey that I’d love to get on again, looking forward to more, keep on rocking, cheers!
