(December 3, 2020) With a dose of Jodeci soul, rising Miami singer TJ Bridgewater takes on the prayerful verse of II Chronicles 7:14 in his latest urban inspirational pursuit, “We Need You.” The sleek, relaxed Quiet Storm vibes surrounding his youthful crooning almost bear a Deitrick Haddon quality, but it is the stark urgency of the lyrics — a necessary response to the political unrest and uncertainty of our present times — that somehow takes greater precedence during the performance. “O Lord, we need you like never before/The state of the world has shaken me to my core,” he sings to his Heavenly Father with a fearful reverence at the top of the first verse.
Bridgewater’s second single released from his debut LP, Life of a Champion, is sure to pull on the heartstrings of those yearning for immediate meditation easily blending the worlds of R&B and gospel together. Check out the new single below and let us know if your soul is on its tracks.
