From the album Life
(Shae Shoc Records, 2010)
I didn't know what to expect when I picked up a copy of Life, which has 13 songs on it, including the title song. I had only known of Shae from seeing her name along with Toby Mac's on the song Funky Jesus Music. I enjoyed her in that song, so I decided to try to check out her solo work.
The songs range from electronic, almost Ke$ha-sounding pop to soulful songs that sound vocally similar to Rihanna. Regardless, each song has its own catchy beat and lyrics that easily get stuck in your head.
For example, the next time you feel down, try listening to track number six, I'm Beautiful. It's good for an instant self-esteem boost, and you'll be singing the lyrics to yourself the rest of the day.
Another good song is the title song, Life. It's one of the songs with a dance club sound and a thumping backbeat. However, instead of being about mindless partying and hookups, Life has a more positive message about, well, life. This is another song that you'll probably be humming for a while.
If dance music isn't your thing, there are still songs on this album you'll enjoy. Try one of the slower songs like Imagine or Here In This Moment (Candlelight Mix).
...
Overall, the CD was extremely good. In the era of Auto-Tune, it's getting harder and harder to find artists with genuine talent and to distinguish them from the ones who get some help from the recording studio. Shae belongs to the former group. You can't deny that.
All you really have to do is listen to a few of her songs, and you will realize that this woman has talent. Shae is an example of the mix of pure genuine talent and amazing songs it takes to make a good singer." (source: LancasterOnLine.com)
Here In This Moment is Beckah's biggest hit to date, peaking at #6 on the Christian Hit Radio chart and #31 on the Christian Hot Songs chart. Here is the original album version of the song:
