In 2007, BET brought Gospel the singing competition "Sunday's Best" and introduced the nation to the vocal powerhouse and eventual winner, Crystal Aikin. The Tacoma, Washington native was nearly untouchable during the competition and won the hearts of countless viewers. On her debut project, Aikin offers a ten-track effort that quickly reveals her ultimate heart as a worshipper with a clear motive to reach the heart of God.
On the album, Crystal Aikin enlisted a new artists dream production team, made up of: "Sunday's Best" host Kirk Franklin A Song About Jesus; the PAJAM team of J. Moss and Paul D. Allen What If...(He Said No); and Gerald Haddon's ballad Even Me (my personal favorite).
All in all, her effort leans heavy on the worship element, as is evidenced on the album's lead single "I Desire More". Aikin delivers with vocal excellence that connects with the hearts of every listener. She delivers a solid debut that delivers well and shows that indeed America knows talent, not just "Sunday's Best". Her powerful vocals on her new release and remaining selection of songs make this album a soul-inspiring project.
