Stepping into her own back on her solo debut 1997′s Finally Karen album, Karen Clark Sheard smooths out the classic song she and her sisters first sang together and brought the tune back bigger and better than ever on the remake taken from the live side of the CD with an extended reprise where she invites her sisters to join once again.

MARY MARY – “LOVE YOU THAT MUCH”
Sister duo Mary Mary (Erica & Tina Campbell) come together on their self-titled 2005 album for a contemporary gospel tune that has lyrics that remind us that if we really love Jesus as much as we say we do, we’d do anything and everything within our power to align ourselves with His holy will. Even when we’re afraid, we can still trust in God simply because we love Him that much.

KIERRA SHEARD – “LOVE LIKE CRAZY”
Leading the young generation of gospel music lovers, Kierra Sheard (daughter of Karen Clark Sheard) takes us on a personal journal of her love affair with the Lord. Originally found on 2008′s Bold Right Life album, Kierra later gave the song a little additional flavor with this extend mix by releasing it on that summer’s coveted project KiKi’s Mixtape. Funky, upbeat and unashamed, this one will have you nodding your head and dancing right along with us. Don’t worry, we won’t think you’re crazy either – just “in love like crazy.”

CRYSTAL AIKIN – “LOVE HIM”
As the first-ever winner of the hit BET Sunday Best gospel music competition, Crystal Aikin stole our hearts and then blessed us with a spectacular Stellar Award-winning debut self-titled album in 2009. Check out her urban contemporary flavor found in this love song simply titled “Love Him.” Turn the volume up and enjoy!
KIM BURRELL – “SWEETER”
There’s simply no voice like Kim Burrell’s. Her 2011 release The Love Album encompassed love songs from every occasion and can be played around the house while you’re warming up to your loved one, but the rare thing about this album is that every song is geared toward love of a higher level. Listen as Kim shares her journey of love with Christ acknowledging that “every day is sweeter than the day before” – especially if you’ve got the love of Christ on your side.

KIM BURRELL – “LOVE SO PURE”
We had to do a double-take for Kim Burrell’s singles from The Love Album because it was just too hard to pick just one. Listen to “Love So Pure,” a smooth mid-tempo track that almost feels like the glory days of classic R&B/soul, but of course blended with the message about the purest kind of love there is.
JONATHAN MCREYNOLDS – “I LOVE YOU”
Gospel music newcomer Jonathan McReynolds places a refreshing spin on the gospel scene with his debut album Life Music (2012). With polished vocals and progressive sound that’s sure to pick up steam in the new year ahead, this project is in heavy rotation. Ever wonder what’s the best way to say you love someone? Simply say the three words that mean the world – “I love you.”
