Gospel funk? Is that even a genre?Well, Tyka Nelson, is new to the game when it comes to Gospel music.In her past recording life she was a pop singer, but now she is singing songs to praise her new outlook on life after having her hardships in life as most of us do.The four songs of hers that I had the pleasure of listening to are:JoyGood Dayrock or rollWon't Cost a PennyAll the songs are funky with a heavy bass which is a treat to any true lover of funk with that extra sweetness of an angelic voice that will have you bobbing your head throughout each track.The song "Joy" is asking for that Joy in having a spiritual connection with a higher being. Tyka does not say exactly God or Jesus while singing this song so no matter what religion you may be studying or practicing, she is singing for you.Good Day opens with a whimisical sound that is airy but then it goes into the funk that I love. She is praising Jesus here which I enjoy.rock or roll is another jazz funky treat which actually reminds me of the new jack swing beats from the early 1990s, but not in a Teddy Riley way but in a unique Tyka Nelson way for it is the drum beats that only remind me of the New Jack Swing but 21st century style.Won't Cost a Penny reminds me of a praise fest because Tyka is singing that it won't cost a penny to praise God.These four songs were a great "teaser" for the album that Tyka plans to release next year. I look forward to hearing more from her and I thank her for her sharing her journeys in life with her listener.Listening to her song "Joy" in particular has encouraged me to find a church home so that I can have that weekly Joy with others who are striving for a spiritual balance in their life.
