Few contemporary gospel artists can pack as much of the Holy Spirit into a ballad as James Fortune & FIYA. The 2008 hit “I Trust You” sums up their style: Fortune delivers an intimate narrative of redemption that builds into a glorious wall of wailed pleading, swirling pianos, and cloud-piercing choir gymnastics. “Identity” reaches an equally moving climax, while also boasting finely etched melodies that embody the group's sophisticated songwriting. When Fortune isn't dropping ballads, he whips up cuts like “I Wouldn't Know You”—funky worship spotlighting singer Nakitta Fox's visceral expressions of devotion.
