Gospel Blues Singer/Songwriter, Kimberlee M. Leber, Reveals How To 'Fight The Good Fight Of Faith' In Her New Music Video

Gospel Blues Singer/Songwriter, Kimberlee M. Leber, has written a song about how to "fight the good fight of faith" in our every day lives. Many of us have heard this scripturally based expression before, maybe not realizing just how one can do such a thing.

Inspired to share its profound meaning, which Kimberlee came to learn is rooted in our words, this song overflowed out of her heart and onto paper, while she was working in the studio. Giving birth to the single, "Fight the Good Fight of Faith", from her new album, "Like a Tree", Kimberlee is now launching a lyric music video to help others know about the Biblical teaching of speaking God's Word over daily circumstances.

The Bible refers to God's Word as "Seed" in Luke 8:11. When these Seeds are sown into our hearts by speaking them out of our mouths regularly, the faith-filled Words can produce a victorious outcome over our daily lives. Furthermore, when there are trials that occur, we can actually "fight them with faith" by finding the Promises of God in the Bible, and declaring them over the situation, thereby overcoming it with the blessing of Christ.

"Truly, this Biblical law has changed my life", professes Kimberlee, "and continues to make a recognized difference in my circumstances and relationships." "God's Word is really amazing and can literally transform environments and situations when operated in consistently!" "Having experienced these victories", she says, "the Holy Spirit prompted me to write this song with the desire to spread the revelation of this blessing to as many people as possible!"

Releasing music from her Indie Christian label, Real Star Records, alongside her husband, the team has answered God's call, producing a sound for the Christian market that also appeals to a secular audience, thereby allowing the Gospel message to permeate to a wider area demographically. Offering musical medicine for the soul, it provides a timeless musical soundscape with a message for all, and it is entertaining, as it is spiritually fulfilling.

"Like a Tree", definitely finds Kimberlee in a place of spiritual maturity, sharing revelation knowledge that she has learned over the last few years. It showcases Kimberlee's most recent written music to date based on the Biblical principles she has marinated in spiritually, which ultimately brought about this album. And now, it is a wonderful spiritual resource with the power to inspire change and restore lives, as well as, relationships.

Dedicated to her beloved stepdad who passed away this last year, the album truly presents an honest delivery of deep wisdom enveloped in flavorful melodies, soulful vocals, and inviting sounds. Kimberlee's acoustic driven guitar serves as a familiar presence on the album, along with her Telecaster being featured, adding a clean, bluesy tone to many of the tracks. However, seven of the ten songs were written with the Fender Rhodes keyboard or the Wurlitzer, which was new for Kimberlee as a songwriter. The album is also appropriately highlighted with a Gospel-infused aura from the Hammond B-3 organ, providing a perfect backdrop for the Biblically inspired words. And favored percussive sounds, such as the Brazilian cuica, among others, are uniquely placed in her production, reminiscent of Kimberlee's musical time spent with the Latin group, Breath Spirit & Life. Overall, Kimberlee's appreciation for R&B is truly acknowledged on, "Like a Tree", reminding the listener of the musically diverse background she comes from, while always letting God's Word shine through brightly.

"Like a Tree" is now available at Amazon, iTunes, CD Baby, and other major online music stores.

Born and raised in California, Kimberlee trained nearly nine years with world renowned Vocal Coach, Judy Davis. Kimberlee had the fortune of working with Multi-Platinum Producer, Paul Laurence, and 14-Time Grammy Award Winning Producer/Engineer, Gilbert Velasquez, on previous released albums.

MusicDish Review: Kenn Rowell Music Video "It's Good To Be Back"

Kenn Rowell, the rhythm guitarist, lead singer/frontman and main songwriter for the NYC based old school punk 'n roll band, The Baghdaddios, released his solo album "Instant Solo Album". The first track "It's Good To Be Back" perfectly reveals Rowell's vocal strength and guitar skills. Its acoustic folk and classic rock feels immediately draws us into the story. The lyrics expresses Rowell's happiness of returning to his old hometown: "back to those who knew me, no longer feels down". Clearly Rowell cherishes the old friendships and connections, which reflects his determination of releasing this album. As members of Baghdaddios one by one departed, many were surprised Rowell's decision of putting himself out in the industry again. Rowell responded: "I never thought I'd be doing this, at this age". But he made it! A solo debut absolutely reaffirms his musical talent and self-improvement.
