This is BeBe's fifth solo album since making albums with sister CeCe and is already selling well. He is now also involved in acting and radio, hosting his own show and in recent times has gone through a divorce. This collection of songs is dominated by the song "I Have A Dream", a putting to music of the whole of the famous speech by Dr Martin Luther King Jr -an amazing achievement. BeBe's vast experience in the music business and past success haven't led to this being just another album. The changes in his life are reflected in his music, with lyrical content perhaps being more important than before. The piano intro on the opening track, "When You Pray", reminded me of Bruce Hornsby on "That's Just The Way It Is" while throughout BeBe's voice is amazing and the pop feel of the album is easy to listen to. There is a hidden track, dedicated to BeBe's son, "Benjamin".
