Gripping vocals, ingenious lyrics, and top-notch production are the ingredients of Phillip Bryant's debut effort, Gracefully.

An urban, inspirational christian album capable of leaving fans shaking, hip hop lovers with their jaws on the floor, christians quivering, and r&b lovers feeling fulfilled, Gracefully is as pure and emotional as it gets.

With thick layers of instrumentation, in-your-face voice and a tender ear for sophisticated urban poignancy, Bryant is able to combine the smarts, and sincerity of Fred Hammond with the boldness of Usher. All while crafting a tightly produced, hook-laden urban christian album appealing to r&b, hip hop, gospel, and christian fans alike.

To put it another way, Bryant's Gracefully takes you to a place where you are left spiritually uplifted. The premises has been vacated, and you're left feeling the after effects, knowing God showed up, reminiscing of how you felt the first time the Lord rested upon you.

Though, even with a dark, moody atmosphere looming overhead, a bit of sunshine cracks through the clouds and promises that tomorrow will be better. And the day after that may find you shaking the dust off and picking yourself right back up.

Here is an album that boasts optimism, and has plenty of it. It has situations that any and everyone can relate to. This is the album you always crave after the dark times seem to be setting in. This is the genius of Fayetteville, North Carolina Phillip Bryant.
