 Live in Miami (Yes We Can) Kee leads this talented choir in their 8th recording, titled Live In Miami (Yes We Can), a star-studded 12-track project that could easily be deemed the choir's best presentation to date.  Perhaps no John P. Kee related project has had as much star power as Live In Miami. Continuing the partnership from the Nothing But Worship NLCC project, Kee teams with labelmate Fred Hammond on "The Glory", an exciting groove that gets a memorable remix at the end of the effort.In another follow-up to the Nothing But Worship project, Nikki Ross lends her vocal acrobatics to "Our God". Jason Nelson adds a notable vocal lead to the worship piece "Praises", worthy of several repeat spins in the CD player or iPod. Other guest spots include vocalists Lejeune Thompson ("Favor") and Earnest Pugh ("Just For Me"). Kee's aggregations have never been short of talented lead vocalists and this effort continues to reflect that truth. Maranda Curtis lends her standout vocals to "Be Glorified" and the praise groove "I Love You, Lord I Do", while New Life veteran Lowell Pye joins Kee to reprise "I'm Covered", originally found on Kee's The Reunion project. The infectious leadoff single "Yes We Can", which also features Kee and Pye, could arguably be the front-runner for the Kingdom anthem of the Barack Obama campaign, which shares the same tag line. Politically, culturally, and spiritually relevant, the track offers hope and empowers the believer to use their power to change their environment. It would be hard to find another body of work within the VIP Mass Choir catalogue that is this solid, infectious, and memorable. From cover to cover, Live In Miami is a bonafide hit, filled with grooves, ballads, and worship that remind all of the victory found in praise. Kee and the VIP Mass Choir have again hit the jackpot with this effort.
