Kevin LeVar & One Sound- Let’s Come Together

Preacher kid Kevin LeVar (born Kevin LeVar Gray; not to be confused with Kirk Franklin singer/comedian Kevin L. Gray) is a newcomer to the gospel stage. While he has worked up an incredible list of spectacular itinerary dates in the last couple of year that ranges from appearances on the Gospel Music Channel to a performance at the NBA All Star Weekend festivities in Denver, he is still relevantly fresh and surprisingly unknown to the world. But one careful introduction to his recently-released debut offering, Let’s Come Together, on God Glorified Music and Habakkuk Music offers a world of certain promise for his foreseeable future in music. His influences may not be acutely visible from jump street, but you can still sense the direction of lush worship ballads and AC-styled pop putting him into the bracket of Israel Houghton or CeCe Winans. Still, he’s been around music legends like Myrna Summers and John P. Kee long enough to know what gospel music sounds like and carefully inserts small dosages into his more radio- appealing and modern sounds.

Unfortunately, the star of the show on Let’s Come Together is LeVar (penning over half of the compositions by himself and the other half with collaborative producer Kevin Younger) but the gorgeous background efforts of One Sound remains an important, but overly shadowed personality throughout the project; possibly the label’s efforts to push LeVar way out front.
