KYLE BYNOE AND PRAISE REVIEW
Mission Statement: These 13 songs on this album, which are inspired
by the Holy Spirit to lead the listener into his Presence, stand as
a stirring testimony to the Almighty's powers and promises to transform
the lives of His lost and wayward children." Joel 2:25
Kyle Bynoe: "My highest hope for this album, and everything
I'm involved in creatively, is that it would give people a greater
understanding of what praise and worship truly is, and the reasons
why we praise and worship God."
About Kyle Bynoe.....
Kyle Bynoe grew up in a small town of Ossining, located just north
of New York. He lived with his family of 4 siblings, a strong, hard
working mother, and a well-meaning stepfather. Unfortunately, Kyle
had a difficult relationship with his stepfather, which sometimes
happens in blended families, and was quite a handful in the behavior
department, being rather wild and rebellious.
When he became too hard to handle, which happened frequently, Kyle
was sent to his grandparents who lived in Tarrytown, New York, who
were the ones who made him go to church, where spiritual seeds were
planted in Kyle's being. Kyle developed a basic awareness of God,
and knew He was there in case of trouble. Kyle's experienced a "true
spiritual awakening and rebirth" after reaching young adulthood,
years away. The Lord had plans for Kyle's life, and knew Kyle's gifts
way before Kyle realized them, and proceeded in preparing Kyle, even
while Kyle was becoming involved with darker ways of life, down a
path away from the Lord's will for his life.
Ossining is also the home town of the Sing Sing penitentiary, a "depressing
monument" to the hopelessness of the dead end life style found
in the street culture of some neighborhoods; a tempting, compelling
force for many young men, including Kyle. Because his family was poor
and times were tough, Kyle quickly developed "a serious work
ethic," and earned his own money, in both legal and illegal ways.
Kyle comments, "I had a serious work ethic. I'd do whatever
I could to make a dollar, legally or illegally. I was a hustler, for
sure. I was a serious party-guy, and I'd supply people with whatever
'enhancements' they had a taste for. I'd do whatever I could to make
a dollar."
As a committed Christian looking back at this aspect of his old life,
Kyle who long ago confessed and repented, is willing to talk about
his involvement in drug dealing, this skeleton in his closet.
Kyle comments, "That's something I am willing to talk about
only in the hope that other people, especially kids, will learn from
my experiences, and not repeat them in their own lives, or get a glorified
picture of that life style. I was not only moving in some very dangerous
company, it was wrong....far worse than just wrong....in the destruction
I was bringing on myself and others, not to mention the affront my
life was to God. But the happy and truly amazing ending to that story---and
the new beginning that followed---is how the Lord protected me throughout
it all, and brought me back to Him. If God can work the kind of transformation
He has in my life, then I know--without any question or doubt--He
can, will and does the same for anyone."
To counteract the dark forces found in the local street culture,
Kyle was blessed with close relationships with 3 uncles, who were
all unique positive forces in Kyle's life, offering strong, positive
male role models, which is how the Lord started Kyle eventually down
the right path which would lead to having a Christian music ministry
for Jesus. Uncle Larry ran a gas station, and offered him legal employment,
pumping gas. His Uncle Albert was a deejay, with a vast musical library
of LPs in his basement, which offered Kyle a musical retreat where
Kyle was influenced by classic soul, R & B and Blues. His Uncle
Lee was a self-taught drummer and keyboardist, and performed professionally
in various bands on weekends, giving Kyle the idea that he could do
the same.
Being inspired by the entreprenural success of others in his family,
a teen-aged Kyle saved his money from his drug dealing / pumping gas
job and bought himself a synthesizer, and found that he too had musical
gifts. Not only did he quickly become quite good on his keyboard,
but he discovered that he could write and produce songs. Kyle jumped
into legal entrepreneurship, by developing songs for local groups,
which led to creating his own recording studio and putting together
several performing groups of his own.
After graduating from high school in 1987, Kyle took a straight job
with General Motors in Tarrytown, to support himself as he continued
to develop his musical skills and business savy. In 1988, his professional
life and his personal life experienced major developments. Kyle started
to use the recording studio of established song writer Chip Taylor,
to record some demos of various artists he was mentoring. Chip was
impressed with Kyle's abilities and they formed a song writing and
music production partnership.
During the summer of 1988, Kyle met the love of his life, a talented
singer, Tiffany Williams, a strong vocalist who found success through
the song writing and production demos provided by Kyle and Chip. In
1991, Chip helped Tiffany acquire a renowned artist manager, who was
able to get her a major label recording contract. Kyle was able to
quit his GM job and concentrate on writing and producing music along
with his partner, Chip, for Tiffany's debut album, and other up and
coming artists.
Kyle was noticed by the music industry when Tiffany's single from
her 1993 debut album, "GIVE HIM A LOVE HE CAN FEEL" became a huge R&B
/ hip hop hit, and was offered a song writing contract with EMI.
IN 1993, Kyle and Tiffany also produced their first child, and their
relationship became acceptable in God's eyes about a year later in
marriage, due to their developing relationship with the Lord.
When Tiffany's record label changed hands in the executive department,
they were short-sighted and weren't interested in her great talent.
Though she was offered other contracts, she stepped out in faith and
decided to let the Lord decide when she would record again, and moved
back to her home town in Akron, Ohio, to take up new challenges of
being a wife and mother, and start in earnest to develop her spiritual
life, with the positive consequence of leading to developing the couples'
relationship with the Lord.
Tiffany became an active member of the Akron Harvest House Christian
Center, a move which was in the Lord's plan to draw both of them to
Himself even more. Kyle got his first real taste of being spiritually
fed as he also attended church on the Sundays he was in Akron, listening
to the strong teaching / preaching Pastor Parker, which was the start
of a real spiritual awakening.
In 1995 Tiffany and Kyle became parents once again in the midst of
Kyle's heavy travel schedule. However, Kyle was about to change his
way of life. As a result of Christian influences Kyle experienced
in New York, his personal Bible Study and the strong teaching / preaching
of Rev. Parker, he and Tiffany experienced at their church in Akron,
the Akron Harvest House Christian Center, Kyle began to "develop
a personal understanding and relationship with Christ, which was out
of his reach all through his life." Kyle was changing his focus
and priorities.
Kyle shares the epiphany he had. "I just became so hungry for
the Word of God, that seeking Him was all I wanted to do. It was just
like it exploded within me. None of the material things I had always
valued so highly had ever filled me with the peace I found in the
Lord. I knew God was calling me to something new."
In 1996, Kyle decided to take a total sabbatical from secular music
industry, and moved back to Akron to be with his family, to be a very
present husband and father. He focused on his family, Bible Study,
prayer, his church,and feeding his soul, under the mentorship of Pastor
Parker of the Akron Harvest House, while taking odd jobs to make ends
meet.
In 1998, after being moved by the Holy Spirit, he quickly composed
14 Gospel songs from an inspired flow of creativity, which was the
beginning of his music ministry for Christ. He joined the church band,
began to write weekly songs, eventually becoming the church's music
minister in 2000. In 1999, a third little Bynoe popped into the world,
and money was tight once again. So, with the blessing of his pastor,
Kyle also went back to work for EMI, writing secular R& B songs,
with the confidence that the Holy Spirit would guide his steps in
both his musical endeavors; secular and sacred music, which he was
still writing for the church band.
Kyle, careful to balance work with family life, began to compose
songs for such artists as Will Downing and Howard Hewitt, and even
a song for the film, "O" (hip hop reinvention of Othello),
a ballad sung by Tiffany. He continued to compose music for his church
as well. Having song royalty money flowing in once again gave Kyle
the freedom to also compose songs for artists on two independent labels,
which brought him further success, allowing him to finally end his
contract with EMI.
Kyle must have a tremendous amount of creative energy, because on
top of everything else, Kyle also has formed his own production company,
the KGM Music Group, which works with Gospel artists in a wide range
of genres.
In 2003, Kyle signed a recording contract with Waymaker Records,
and picked the highlights of all the Praise and Worship songs he had
written for his church and recorded an album, KYLE BYNOE AND PRAISE,
with the help of talented musicians and an ensemble of 6 experienced
singers from 6 Cleveland churches, and of course, Tiffany, who once
again is using her musical talent, this time for the Glory of Jesus!
PRAISE Singers: Ni-keland Nickolas, India Robinson, Lamika Gurley,
Samon A. Smith, Tiffany Bynoe, Kendra L. Jackson, Kyle Bynoe.
About the Music On ............ KYLE BYNOE AND PRAISE
Kyle Bynoe evaluated all the spiritual songs he composed, sometimes
collaborating with song writer Will Smith and picked the cream of
the crop to release on this sparkling, uplifting Praise and Worship
album creating a collection of songs which are a true blessing to
the listener. Using a variety of genres mixed with a Gospel base,
the sound and message of these 13 songs are very appealing to praise
and worship music lovers who are inspired by catchy, moving memorable
melodies, set in musically interesting arrangements, combined with
uplifting lyrics and solid vocal harmonies. All these elements bring
the creativity, talent, and spirituality of Bynoe, Smith, and the PRAISE
ensemble singers into music that glorifies the Lord and offers the
listener a praise and worship experience which is a personal blessing,
as this reviewer experienced.
There is a song on this album for everyone, and will fulfill the
above stated mission for this album. Many of these songs would find
a home in various congregations / denominations of Christian believers
who enjoy and find inspiration from not only Gospel but also Mainstream
Contemporary Praise Music. Even four of the songs would be embraced
by more traditional music lovers, because of the beauty of the melodies,
the expressive lyrics, and fine harmonies. The music truly brings the
listener into the Presence of the Lord, giving a personal insight
of what praise and worship truly is, and bring front and center the
reasons why we need to worship and praise Him.
This album of songs IS A MUST for your Christian Praise and Worship
music section in your collection or library. This CD is the perfect
remedy to lifting oneself out of any dour mood or stress of the day
or an over busy schedule, into a mindset of thankfulness, worship,
and allows one to focus on how great a loving, merciful Savior we
have, who alone has the power and desire to transform our lives, even
when we are way off track, giving us promises that we can depend on,
truly being an anchor to our soul (Hebrews 6:19-20), our hope, and
strength in our struggles and our faith walk.
Spiritual Meanings Found in this Collection of Songs......

Songs from KYLE BYNOE AND PRAISE
* * * + KING OF GLORY - Words and music by Kyle Bynoe and Will Smith
(Vocal arrangements)
A strong favorite of this reviewer, the perfect contemporary praise
song to start the album off on a strong note. The introduction to
the main melody, immediately grabs the listener with a well blended
sound of piano, guitars, drums, and nicely done strings overdub, which
offers a subtle support, and doesn't overpower the live music ensemble
band inner voices and chordal work. The instrumental composition offers
strong chordal support to the strong vocal ensemble, lead by Kyle,
which carries the catchy, infectious melody, with great vocal harmonies
which get the listener in the mood to praise and worship. Nice build
up of dynamics.

You gave me another chance, You save me. This brand new life, You
gave me. Never once denied me. How grateful I am to you, Jesus I worship
you.

paid since You took my place, I come to Your Throne, worship You face
to face, I bow to only You.
Chorus; And I sing, Holy, I bow to the King of Glory, the only one

* * * WE BLESS YOU LORD ALWAYS - Words and music by Kyle Bynoe and
Will Smith
Another well-done praise song, well-suited for a group worship situation
or private fellowship with the Lord.
Lead vocals - India Robinson //////// Worship leader: Kyle Bynoe
The introduction grabs the listener's attention, as various instruments
imitate the coming of the Holy Spirit, as Kyle encourages all to praise
and honor the Lord. Sound is slightly dissonant, in a minor key, interesting
guitar slide? Rumblings from other instruments add a dramatic flair.
Main body of the song has all the elements of a strong, effective, contemporary
praise song which inspires the congregation to forget about personal
thoughts and struggles in their own lives and to worship the Lord.
One finds an upbeat, enjoyable, catchy melody which is easy to remember,
perfectly matched to the meaningful yet simple lyrics, with vocals
which in well-composed harmony clearly express the message and sprit
of this song. Composition is solid, again making good use of dynamics
to bring color and umph to the performance!

* * * WE SING - Words and music by Kyle Bynoe
Vocal Leader: Kyle Bynoe
Another strong song praising Jesus, bringing out our need for our
Lord and Savior. The Caribbean/ Jamaican laid back musical style &
rhythm of both the vocals and musical accompaniment makes it another
interesting musical vehicle for another uniquely different praise
song performance! Snazzy introduction sparkles with percussion, horns,
and guitar which make the syncopated rhythm sound easy to play (I
know better It's not easy). The counter melodies throughout offer
several nice rhythms they also give support to the melody and vocals.
Again, great melody, full harmonies, and interesting vocal styles
which gives the song a Jamaican flavor, but the diction is very clear!
Kyle knows how to use dynamics very well and there is a nice composition
build up.

* * * + + AWESOME GOD - Words and music by Kyle Bynoe and Will Smith
Favorite praise song of this reviewer. An irresistible melody with
a snappy drum beat and tight musical ensemble of live keyboard, nice
inner voices of guitar, bass, and drums keeps this lively praise
song cooking along. Spirited vocals carry the melody and drive the
message of praise with much enthusiasm to the listener, making it
impossible not to sing along as well! Interesting 1/2 step harmonic
progression in ensemble vocals in the Hook. Song is perfect for group
worship as its lyrics are easy to remember, yet powerful in the Spirit
of praise and worship. It's qualities transcend Gospel praise genre
and would also be well received in other denominations as a contemporary
praise and worship song.

* * * ++TOUCH - Words and music by Kyle Bynoe, Arranged by Kyle Bynoe
& Kevin Dean
A prayer hymn/ballad of both praise and intercession, asking the
Lord to touch the world, reach out to those who don't know Him, to
work in their lives.
Favorite worship song of this reviewer. Has universal appeal - Everyone
should love this entry! Absolutely beautiful, haunting melody, is
the perfect match to the poignant lyrics, sweet, heartfelt vocals
of Tiffany and Kyle Bynoe and ensemble singers. Each sings alone and
also sings in lovely harmony together.
Moving accompaniment of acoustic guitar and keyboard help carry the
melody, as well as offer fine counter melodies as well. A nice background
instrument arrangement by Indie Robinson, lightly supports (not overwhelms)
this masterpiece during second half of song. Great use of dynamics
throughout the composition. Vocal ensemble work is well done and supportive
of main vocals. (If one listens really carefully, the listener can
hear the voices of Kyle Bynoe Jr. and Gabrielle Bynoe in the ensemble
chorus toward the end of the song)

A praise song that offers ways to give honor and glory and show our
love to our Lord. Another song that would do well in any contemporary
service.
Another strong favorite of this reviewer. Easy beat, catchy melodies,
meaningful yet simple lyrics, strong harmonies, spirited vocals, and
a musically interesting composition all come together to create a
song which truly leads the listener into the full spirit of praise
and worship, as it would any group of people.

* * ++ SHABAK - Words and music by Kyle Bynoe and Will Smith
An enthusiastic effort that celebrates all the wonderful qualities
of our Lord and expresses how thankful and appreciative we are to
have Him love us with all his qualities.
Another great Brazilian style praise song, syncopated rhythm of percussion
and high ensemble work of band carries the melody and spirit of the
song, being an excellent support to the spirited vocals, which all
bring this praise song to life for the listener. This is another song
that will get the listener dancing around the round praising the Lord!

the listener with an absolutely lovely, flowing melody, heart-felt
vocals, which express so well a meaningful lyrical love letter to
the Lord, and offers an invitation to find renewal and peace through
the worship and prayer experience. Usual great harmonies by ensemble,
with a very nice buildup in dynamics and composition. Vocals and melody
are well supported and carried by piano, acoustic guitar, and light

An inspiring Urban, Contemporary Gospel praise and worship song created
in Kyle's unique style of composing, with the help of Will Smith,
which is true to form; never jarring, but always a musical treat to
listen and absorb and praise the Lord with! The spirit and feel of
the song begins immediately in the musical introduction, with a cooking
rhythm, thanks to the exactness of the musicians, offering an intro
to the main melody and rhythm. Song features a more modern melody,

Ending: We want to thank you for Your love, We want to thank you
for Your mercy and grace. We give You praise, WE magnify Your name.
We'll worship You Lord for the rest of our days. We give You the glory,
All of the glory. We worship You and give You all the praise.
