Israel Houghton started out in full-time ministry in 1989, and was a member of Fred Hammond's Radical For Christ crew for a while. Since those early days, he has gone from strength to strength and is now one of Christian music's foremost worship leaders, songwriters, recording artists and producers. |

Reviewed by Tony Cummings It rather stunned me to hear a Muddy Waters sample as the start of the funky “Get Up” which is one of those enjoyable if by now stylised exhortations for us to get our praise on. Better is “Bout It Bout It” with a satisfying fat back groove. Unfortunately, some of the praise grooves which permeate ‘Real’ are interrupted by rather unnecessary breakdowns. Israel Houghton has a wheezingly soulful voice and on a slow soul ballad like the title track the effect is pretty electrifying. I’m not absolutely convinced that there are enough quality songs here to carry the album but it’s still pleasing to see Integrity Music expanding their musical repertoire.
