SHINE: Trinity Dawson- “With All I Am
By Hasan James
Newcomer and independent artist, Trinity Dawson, lands upon the gospel industry with a 4-song EP that is worth every bit of the $3.96 that you will spend to experience his fresh approach to gospel music. The first track, “Just Be With Me” begins with an acapella version of the title track “With All I Am” before transitioning into his first single “Just Be With Me,” a mid-tempo feel good song that has the perfect blend of organ and piano throughout the song. “I’ll Wait” showcases Dawson’s Urban/Rhythm & Praise side, as the song goes from 0-60 in a matter of a minute. In one sitting the song goes from Hip Hop to Techno, and is most certainly one of the highlights of the EP. “You’re All I Need” is by far the most heartfelt song on this offering, showcasing Dawson’s clean vocals and lyrics that every believer can relate to: “You’re all I need all I need in this world, Lord nothing else matters but you. You’re all that I need, you’re my shelter, my shield and I put all my trust in you.” Don’t we all feel that way about the Lord?
As the EP closes with the radio version of “Just Be With Me”, you realize that the music stops here and you want more of what this young man has to offer. I am sure we will here a lot more from Trinity Dawson but for right now, remember the name and most importantly, remember the music.
