Description
Running Back to You is an album by the British singer and songwriter Yazz, independently released on Daybreak Music in 2008, in co-operation with ICC Records. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Gareth Henderson at H.L. Studios in Totton, England; and was produced by Yazz with Henderson co-producing. Strings arranged by Mark Johnston and Rio Summer.
Yazz is backed by a session band featuring Mark Johnston on piano and keyboards; John “JD” Darcy on guitar; Chris Wood on bass; and Martin Wright on drums. Also featuing Dan MarMolinero on saxophone; Robbie Cole on trumpet; and Tom White on trombone.
Those readers who’ve read Yazz’s powerful testimony on the Cross Rhythms website will know full well that this isn’t a case of a one-time chartmaker trying to find a new market with a gospel album. It’s a cleverly crafted, impressively produced set of faith-lifting songs. Stylistically, it moves between pop («Look To Me» has echoes of All Saints’ «Never Ever»), R&B vocals and a jazz sax solo on «So Glad» and, for those with a memory for these things, Sue Rinaldi‘s mid-’90s club-dance CDs. The songs mix originals and covers from the likes of the Parachute Band and Scott Wesley Brown. Most astonishing of all is the rework of Marie Barnett’s worship classic «Breathe». With plenty of Christian media exposure this will surely be a big seller for ‘Running Back To You’ is uniformly excellent. I’ve never awarded more than nine squares on Cross Rhythms before, but this time, the only way is. . . well, you know. . . [David Faulkner, Cross Rhythms, February 2008]
