Record Label: None
Kevin Henderson: I believe it was the natural progression. To be clear, Redefined is still together. Yet with everyone growing older, having families (as do I) and careers that lie outside of music, this was, as I said, the natural progression. And when Daniel Davis called me and shared his vision, it all made sense.
Kevin: The writing of the songs, lyrically, was done by myself and the executive producer, Daniel Davis. He wrote 4 of the 8 songs on the LP. I wrote 3 and arranged the a cappella hymn. Musically I wrote 4… I wrote the music to one of his and to 3 of mine, not including the a cappella arrangement. Yes, I did perform lead on all 8 songs.
Kevin: At the top of my list are Take 6, The Winans and Fred Hammond. There are more. But, moving down to current influences, they would include Jacob Collier, Snarky Puppy and Tye Tribbett.
Kevin: Yes. The song "It Is Well" is an old hymn, written by Horatio Spafford back in 1873. It was born out of great tragedy, combined with an unyielding resolve to trust God's sovereignty. Daniel Davis knew how passionate I was about a cappella music and insisted that I include an arrangement on this album. Because there are over 80 tracks of myself singing, it was a 3 month process of first arranging, then singing (recording myself), and finally editing and mixing. It would've gone faster if I could've just sat in the studio and did nothing else but that for a month. But, we have other obligations in life.
Kevin: Oh yes! We have more and there is more to come. When you say "breathe a bit", it really depends on your perception of what "a bit" is. For us, we intend to release music every year. Whether it be singles, EPs or full on LPs, the intent is for there to be something new yearly from this point on. Whether or not we meet that, time will tell. But that's the intent.
Kevin: No. Not at this point. Now, I'm live every Sunday at my church, as I am the worship leader. So I keep myself sharp in that area. But we've got to build our audience, which we are in the initial stages of doing right now. Once there is a demand, we will go out. I so look forward to that day. I have musicians and singers ready to go when we get the call.
Kevin: From a strictly music loving standpoint, I cannot choose one song. That is VERY hard because this LP is so diverse. It's intentionally a multigenerational/multi genre produced project. There's something for a variety of listeners and if I choose one song, it only scratches the surface of what this project is about. Now from a message standpoint, then I'd say listen to Open The Door To Jesus, because ultimately that's the point of WHY this project and all subsequent projects coming from us exist.
Kevin: On Instagram (which I just started) @kevinhendersonmusic. On Facebook @khchmusicianorg. On YouTube @officlkrd (that's the Kevin Henderson & Redefined channel). If anyone clicks on my linktree, they can also connect with Anno Domini's online presence. Anno Domini is the indy label I'm under.
Kevin: Yes. I'd like to thank John, Scott and the team at jesusfreakhideout.com for this opportunity to further what we're trying to build here. Thank you very much! And to every reader, may the Lord bless and keep you. Pray for us, as we will pray for you. Let us all rest in the hope and expectation of our soon coming King.
