Jimetta Rose and The Voices of Creation present new album Things Are Getting Better via Day Dreamer Recordings. A spirit-lifting, soul-stirring devotional that effortlessly unites house, funk, soul, RnB and hip-hop influences, Things Are Getting Better hears the LA-based vocal group reach new heights to spread a message of faith and togetherness in troubled times. Accompanying the announcement is lead single "Portals." "Portals" is the album's opening track and first single, an invitation to step into a new paradigm and a new way of thinking. Built on a shuffling groove, Jimetta leads the Voices of Creation in a soaring incantation to self-belief. Breaking the traditional gospel mold with soulful RnB vocal runs and syncopated verses, "Portals" is a fitting introduction to an album that might just change your life. Where their Mario Caldato-produced debut How Good It Is (DD 007LP, 2022) captured the raw power of the choir and channeled their irrepressible live energy on record, Things Are Getting Better introduces a more crafted studio sound to the arrangements. An evolution rather than a reinvention, this is the gospel of Jimetta, delivering "new mantras and new prayers for this new day that we find ourselves in that is so stark between the dark and the light." Composed of non-professional singers who she assembled following an online call-out, The Voices of Creation embodies Jimetta's mission to demystify the ministry, spreading a message of faith in the power of music to effect positive change. A prolific vocalist and collaborator with the likes of Anderson. Paak, Carlos Niño, and Angel Bat Dawid, this time Jimetta leads from the front, bringing in instrumentalists Isaiah Collier, Ryan Porter, and V.C.R. to create a fuller, more diverse palette. Recorded at Sunset Sound studios in Los Angeles alongside fellow producers and choir members Jack Maeby, Allakoi Peete, and mixed by Ben Baptie, the resulting album encapsulates Jimetta's vision for a "Black spiritual classical music." Music, faith, community. The Voices of Creation are living their purpose and things are only going to get better.
