Fearless (Group 1 Crew album)

[1] The second verse of the song "Darkest Valleys" is sung by Blanca, who recalls the incest from her stepfather who left her with emotional wounds.

But in my opinion, this expansion of their niche market can only work in their favour- with such diversity on this album from rap to ballads to pop anthems to dance tracks, it is likely that this hip hop duo receives at least a Dove Award nomination next year, hopefully a few wins, as well as success on many radio stations!

"[7] Christianity Today's Andrew Greer said that the album is "saturated with loads of hip-hop and pop-rock ear candy, the multi-Dove Award winning group's fourth album counters struggles like self-image, anxiety, and heartache with lyrical encouragement to adventurously trust God".

Fans of Tobymac, Britt Nicole and Beckah Shae will definitely be pleased with an album that is musically one of the best of the year!

"[9] Jesus Freak Hideout's Kevin Hoskins said that "the blending of Hip Hop, R&B, and pop returns, and even with some slight changes stylistically and losing one group member, the overall product comes out better than ever.

Manwell and Blanca seem to have taken the opportunity of being a popular band to the next step and decided to make music that is not only very fun, but also serves a more serious purpose with their latest venture, titled Fearless.

Fearless shows a more purposeful side at times with a solid message, while still carrying those fun house party joints that we've come to expect from Group 1 Crew.

"[10] Louder Than The Music's Rich Smith said that "Fearless is one of Group 1 Crew's best albums to date, and definitely a contender for album of the year" because "with uplifting beats along with their mix of R&B, Hip Hop, dance, pop, ballads and anthemic songs, coupled with some Holy Spirit laced, Christ centred, flowing lyrics, this album will put a smile on faces, bring hope, encouragement, and bring you closer to God.

As much as I enjoyed the catchy melodies from Outta Space Love, every song is Gospel message focused on Fearless.
