专辑简介

The exceptional Gospel album , 'He Hears Me', is the first offering from artist Deborah Dicembre, now making her back catalogue available via cd baby , iTunes and Amazon digital. The Hard copy of this CD sold out of 2 pressings. A few yrs after 'He Hears Me' , was released the track ' Precious Lord' won the Australian Gospel Songwriting Award for Best Lyrics. The digital version of this CD includes the track 'Spirit Of Prayer' that was not made available on the hard copy , considered too controversial by the record company. On He Hears Me, Deborah offers 7 original tunes and 5 Gospel standards reworked in a jazz blues fashion, like , 'Jesus, There's Just Something About Your Name' and the classic 'Amazing Grace'. 70's gospel hits like 'A Quiet Place' & 'Praise You Just The Same', get the super Dicembre treatment vocally ; infused with gut wrenching honesty & soaring talent. The remaining songs are hymns from Deborah's childhood. Deborah has reworked them with layers of harmony and reharmonised jazz chords. A treat for the listening heart and the discerning ear. This album has been called, 'a healing experience'. Deborah says, 'the real treat for me is getting emails & phone calls from all over the world, people telling me how much this CD has meant to them at poignant moments in their life. As with all of Deborah's work the signature of angelic harmonies, powerful vocals and well thought out arrangements are evident here. Covering the traditional church of her youth, the Black gospel & singersongwriter traditions with a decent dose of Jazz makes this an incredible musical as well as spiritual journey.
