“Enter In”
Chrystal Rucker
HBK Media (2017)
By Bob Marovich
Chrystal Rucker is one of the finest voices in gospel music today. Her vocal talent is on ample display on “Enter In,” the follow up to her Top 30 single, “Excuse Me.”
The finer of the two singles, “Enter In” is a prayerful, uncomplicated worship ballad that allows Rucker sufficient space to improvise.
Supported by powerful background voices, she builds from soft to sanctified, tossing in growls, shouts, and skyrocketing flights of soprano to convince the saved and sinner alike that when we come to the end of ourselves, when we can deal with our own problems no further, that’s when we must give them to God. Hurt, abuse, misunderstanding, illness—nothing is too hard for Him to handle.
