Music Review: “Count Your Blessings” – Ellen Hayes
Every once in a while a gospel song shows up wearing a disguise.
At first listen, “Count Your Blessings” sounds like a smooth late-night R&B groove you’d expect to hear while cruising down the highway with the windows down. The production is silky, the rhythm is easy, and the vibe is so smooth you almost expect somebody to start singing about heartbreak.
But then Ellen Hayes steps in and reminds you… this isn’t heartbreak music, this is blessing music.
Before you know it, you realize you’re listening to contemporary gospel wrapped in a smooth R&B suit.
It’s the kind of song where the church folks will say,"That message is beautiful."
And the R&B crowd will say,"That groove is nice."
Meanwhile you’re sitting there realizing you’ve been gently reminded to count your blessings while nodding your head like you're listening to a quiet storm station.
That’s the beauty of this track.
It sneaks encouragement into your day without ever sounding preachy.
Smooth. Uplifting. And just churchy enough to remind you where the blessings come from.
Because sometimes the best gospel songs don’t shout…
they groove.
And Ellen Hayes delivers that groove beautifully.
