The name of the album, “Cornerstone,” says the award-winning artist comes from understanding that everything needs a strong foundation to stand upon.

“In biblical times, a cornerstone was used as the foundation and standard a building was constructed. Once in place, the rest of the building would conform to the angles and size of the cornerstone. And, if removed, the entire structure could collapse. I titled the album, Cornerstone” because you have to have a strong foundation to be resilient.”

Count My Blessings” is a finger-popping feel-good soundtrack on the album and delivers a message of hope that God will sustain you wherever you go.

“Heaven” speaks to the hope that we will see our loved ones again. The song lives up to its heavenly message with a smooth and jazzy vibe, richly mixed with the talented singer’s polished vocals.

“You Your Love,” reconfirms, God will not change his mind about you and that his love is consistent. The flow of the track from chords to lyrics blends harmoniously together.

In the track, “It’s Working,” Keyondra shares about growing up modestly yet always knowing things will work out for good. The slow, and ‘bouncy’ rhythmic track puts you in a reflective state of gratitude.

Cornerstone” the track sharing the same name as the album is a triumphant song that uplifts and inspires – a sure ‘masterpiece.’

The inspiring track with its selective choice of chords, “Made A Way” ignites the human spirit in a way that reassures us to never give up.

With the added bonuses of “Championed Me” and “It’s Working” remixes, the album is a beautiful combination of music offerings.
