Though released under the Bethel Music imprint, Dante Bowe is a man of his own when he comes to his music. Bowe's """"Circles"""" is the follow-up to his 2017 effort """"Son of a Father,"""" the album shows growth, innovation, and a diversity. Musically, the sound harkens back to the R&B music of the early 2000s where Nelly, Destiny Child, and Ashanti were ruling the airwaves. Yet, Bowe is not afraid to incorporate contemporary rap, hip-hop and modern polytechnics into the mix. Whilst many of the albums coming out of Bethel's imprint are congregational worship anthems,""""Circles"""" encompasses songs of worship, growing up, and about life in general. \\n\\nThe title cut """"Circles"""" opens the set. With the thumping of the piano as his own accompaniment, Bowe's commanding vocal is the focus of this song that speaks of how God is with us through the ups and downs of life. """"Okay,"""" which features some spoken and rap vocals from Trevor Johnson and Lael, addresses the current pandemic and how faith is the means of our joy in such troubled times.
