Dorinda Clark-Cole

This self-titled solo debut album from Dorinda Clark-Cole became an instant smash among fans and gospel music aficionados as it burst onto the scene just in time to sizzle through the summer of 2002. With co-writing credits on five out of the twelve tracks, Dorinda explores contemporary vocal/musical arrangements on the opening jam “If It Had Not Been for the Lord” and the funky “I’m Coming Out.” She remains faithful to her traditional gospel roots on album favorites such as “You Can’t Hurry God” and “You Can’t Take My Joy.” Dorinda takes us straight to church where the saints are reminded that there’s “Nobody like Jesus” and shares her testimony as she ministers to the hearts of many on “I’m Still Here.” The album’s half live and half studio tracks give listeners young and old the true essence of Dorinda in all aspects and the accompanying live DVD (Dorinda Clark-Cole Live) only enhances the experience as she aptly journeys through the album’s chart-topping hits.
