Cons: Track with Missy Elliott
We all know Karen Clark-Sheard from her deep gospel roots of singing with her mother Dr. Mattie M. Clark and The Clark Sisters. She first started her solo career in 1997 with "Finally Karen Clark-Sheard" then in 2002 with "2nd Chance", and now "The Heavens Are Telling", which is an awesome project. Karen has been great since she first started her solo career and has continued to soar every since. I love 10 out of the 11 tracks on this project. The first track "We Acknowledge You" which has a nice bouncing groove to it really shows the classic Karen Clark-Sheard flavor. She does all kinds of crazy runs and sings like she really knows and acknowledges the majesty of God. Track 2 "We Are Not Ashamed featuring Mary Mary is a powerful old school track that just blows your mind with the singing done by Mary Mary and Karen. I love track 3 "Glorious", because it's just a fun track, the music and everything on this track are great and just jumping, it's really for the young folks. Tracks 4 & 5 are great worship tracks, and you can tell God was all over both of those songs. I love track 6 "You Loved Me" featuring Karen's daughter Kierra "KiKi" Sheard. They both snap hard vocally, and it's a tight track. From tracks 8-11 she goes into the studio, but still gives you some nice songs such as "Praise Up", "I Owe" (which has the melody and groove of Kirk Franklin's Hosanna, but is still a nice song) "Sometimes", and "Don't Change" once again featuring Kierra "KiKi" Sheard. My only disappointment with this cd is track no.7 featuring Missy Elliott. I really didn't like it and the feel that was supposed to be portrayed by putting Missy on the track wasn't really working for me. That was the only problem I had with this cd, but besides that the project was excellent. Karen's voice and style is amazing and she really belts it out on this project. This cd is really worth having as apart of your Karen Clark-Sheard collection. ...

Pro Reviews: Heavens Are Telling
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Powerful, inspirational, and just downright gifted, Karen Clark Sheard was already a successful artist as part of the Gospel Hall of Fame group, the Clark Sisters, when her 1997 solo debut, Finally Karen, launched her into a whole new stratosphere of popularity. The combination of her energetic voice with RB/hiphop infused gospel songs pushed that album and its followup, 2nd Chance, to levels of crossover success rarely experienced by a gospel artist. Sheard's third disc, The Heavens Are Telling, incorporates the best elements of her previous outings by showcasing six new live performances alongside five new studio tracks. Rarely does this formula coalesce into a solid listen, as one set of tracks tends to overshadow the other; but in Sheard's case it works well as the enormity of her voice and depth of her message remain consistent throughout. Recorded in Detroit at the church where her husband serves as senior pastor, the live tracks (which successfully blend in studio overdubs) bristle with energy right from the start, as Sheard's commanding voice thrillingly demands attention in the jubilant RB workout "We Acknowledge You." She maintains that joyous intensity on each successive live track diversely moving through songs like the upbeat Stevie Wonderish "Glorious (Make the Praise)" and the gorgeous pop/RB gospel ballad "God Is Here." The studio tracks, although more urban in tone, comfortably follow as the invigorating hiphop of "Go Ahead" leads the way with guest Missy Elliot reshaping her songs "Work It" and "Slide" into a praising rap. Once again working with her 2nd Chance writers/producers, Sheard effortlessly sings a set of songs that any RB diva would be ecstatic to record especially when many of them are settling for mediocre retreads. Whether in the studio or on the stage, Karen Clark Sheard sounds completely in her element, in command, and totally committed to her music, her audience, and her message. Although her talent was already apparent as part of the Clark Sisters, it seems that going solo further enhanced her gifts and "The Heavens Are Telling" lets her rising star shine brilliantly. - Aaron Latham, All Music Guide |

Pros: We Are Not Ashamed, You Loved ME
Cons: Missy Elliots rap in "Go Ahead". Using the same lyrics, and beat to her Rap Song "WORK IT" Come on now!!!
I am a Karen Clark fan. I enjoyed her previous albums, they were very good, and uplifting. I have to say of the past couple of albums, this takes third to the previous two. I feel a bit let down with this one. Still a Karen fan though...
