Stellar Award-winner LaShun Pace will release her seventh full length CD, Complete, available at Canadian Christian retailers next Tuesday, January 23rd. Carrying on the torch of the legendary Mahalia Jackson, Pace keeps the solid traditional sound of gospel music alive. The new project is a proclamation of personal completion and was inspired after a series of life altering events including illness, divorce and the death of her daughter. Pace delivers an album loaded with hopeful optimism that uplifts and inspires. “When people listen to the album I want them to know that I am a person who has dealt with so many negative things and through my story I want them to see the strength of God.. to know if He can touch and strengthen me say’s Pace, “He can also be a strengthening power for them.”

Complete was recorded live at the singer’s home church, Wings of Faith, in Atlanta Georgia, under the direction of Bishop Dreyfus C. Smith. The nine track LP stops nothing short of vocal and production excellence, as it floods the heart with an enriching message of completion in God’s love. A prophetic All Things Working a radio friendly single, based on the well known Romans 8:28 scripture, kicks the album off in high church and is a classic toe tapping loud praise jam. Additional stand outs include the soulful and passionate Complete In Jesus and the bluesy track The Blood Completes It All. Expectedly, the most painful and inspiring track on the album for the singer is Xenia’s Flight, a painful dedication to her daughter who passed away in 2001.

“All the songs are birthed out of my prayer time,” explained Pace. “When I wake up in the middle of the night, I just start praying and talking to God… the song just came to me. The melody was in my head and I heard the phrase “I am complete” over and over… He gave me all the lyrics that night.”

Pace supporters will be delighted to hear the steeply rooted church sounds of the “Old Fashioned Church Medley,” that is chock full of time-honoured hymns including Solider In The Army Of The Lord, Run On, Let God Arise, and more. It is praise and worship like it used to be, where the rhythm and hand-claps are the only necessary instrumentation and it takes the listener straight into a jamboree of high praise and shouting.

Complete is an album composed of deliverance and prayer. Pace wrote and produced most of the album’s content after deciding to write her healing down and sing her deliverance through lyrics. Although the title of the album is ‘complete’ the singer shows no signs of stopping—only proving the enemy is a liar and completion is in GOD’s love.
