WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
It’s important to know that just before Roderick
Neal released his new Single ‘Step 2 Calvary‘, he previously
recorded the EP ’Cost of
Living‘, which provided reasons for being a singer. He connected to super
producer and founder of Divers Music, Adrian Davis and
through God the project gave Mr. Neal the opportunity to rise again. He
believed that the cost of living for Jesus was high, but His love paid for it
all! Mr. Neal understood that if he could just follow the call that was placed
on him and despite the trials, he would succeed. Indeed, Mr. Neal is a
successful Singer-Songwriter and more!
For over 20 years Roderick Neal has been singing,
songwriting, producing, and collaborating in the music industry. He has been
blessed to perform internationally, spreading the message of faith, hope, and
love in song. His vocals are purposefully in the service of the Lord. His heart
for people shines through songs like his new single, “Step 2 Calvary.”
Mr. Neal hopes to continue to provide listeners with music that brings joy to
your day, and a positive message branded on your heart. His agenda has always
been to create an atmosphere of hope through music for all people.
WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
Released: August 16, 2019 ‘Step 2 Calvary’ has
all the elements and melody produced in a song by experienced professionals! We
will most likely remember this song because of the amazing harmony, the notes
that make the melody and the complex music production which made it what it is,
spectacular! It has rhythm of a Chicago
Steppin song that you can dance with your partner in such dance styles
as the Chicago Bop, the Lindy Hop and Western Swing. Typically, this smooth and
classy art form is primarily danced to old school, soul, jazz, and r&b
music, but Neal crossed it over to the Christian and Gospel genre with all the
God given lyrics to justify his inspirational move! It is the heartbeat of the
song. The smooth, contemporary voice of Roderick Neal mixed with the harmonic
sound of the flute in the background and a taste of steppin produced a
contemporary style of urban gospel music we can all dance to with joy!
SPIRITUAL/LYRICAL HIGHLIGHTS
Some people nearly go a lifetime before they figure out what
their place in the world is, what they are called to, and finally understanding
their life itinerary. Neal was blessed to know what he was called to do at the
age of 10. When Neal decided to fully embrace his calling as a singer, songwriter,
and a creative director, he knew it was going to be an exceedingly difficult
road. In fact, Neal would say he is still on that road. However, what we come
to learn is that now Neal can finally see the horizon in the distance. He sees
God’s vision for him and his destiny to come!
WHAT WE LIKE BEST ABOUT THE SONG
We like that ‘Step 2 Calvary’ is a song that is not
constrained to one radio format. You certainly can play this tune on various
Christian and Gospel radio stations. However, if you want to broaden your reach
and impact many more listeners then you would want a song like ‘Step 2 Calvary’
because it can be played on Urban AC format, Jazz format, or Adult Contemporary
format. It’s simply a diverse song that either will make you get up and
start stepping, listen while cruising in your ride, casually playing in the
background of a dinner date, or listen in the background while house cleaning.
The point is, it’s a song to play any time you want to hear an upbeat, jazzy,
inspirational sound.

FINAL WORD: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Without reservation, ‘Step 2 Calvary’ by Roderick Neal is a
song we will add to our uplifting music playlist. Neal created an inspirational
cross over song that we can put on our steppin attire, dance with our partner
and feel the presence of the Lord having an enjoyable time. The biblical
message in this song reminds Christians that although we are in this world we
are not of this world. In conclusion, ‘Step 2 Calvary’ helps to keep believers
self-aware and connected to their spirituality outside of the four walls of the
church!
