This album simply put is traditional gospel at its bestwith a contemporary message! The album features 11 power-packed uplifting tracks such as: The up-tempo hit, Lift Him Higher; the quartet-style infused, It’s Time To Give Him Praise; the pure down home Gospel song and duet with her son, Rev .Dennis Qualls, Call Him Anytime; the church jumpin’ Chicago styled hit, The SaintsWill Be Going Home; the holy of holies ushering, praise and worship track,Worthy Is The Lamb; the Church of God in Christ inspired, get your praise on… shoutin’ song, Jesus Is All We Need; the up-tempo hit, Call On Jesus; the Gospel blues tinged, You Can Depend On Jesus; the up-tempo testimonial praise report title track, You’re Looking At A Miracle; the Gospel groove styled hit, Bless The Lord At All Time; and finally the, Caribbean styled jam, Lord, WeWorship You.

Through the ages, traditional gospel music has been largely defined by a small handful of female singers who can match unrivaled on-stage enthusiasm with an equally unrivaled voice.Chicago Mass Choir’s Lemmie Battles is quickly establishing herself as one of those singers. In the tradition of Shirley Caesar, Aretha Franklin and Albertina Walker, Battles’ driving stage presence and powerful vocal performances make her one of the rising stars of Gospel music. With a style that somehow manages to be both contemporary and traditional at the same time, Battles’ voice cuts through the "me too" of Gospel music in a way that few singers ever do. That’s why Battles has been selected to sing with many of the top names of Gospel music, and why her first major label recording ("Let’s Have a Good Time") became one of the best selling traditional gospel releases of 2003A mass choir is only as great as its members--and one of the reasons that the Chicago Mass Choir is so legendary is the extraordinary talent of Lemmie Battles. For more than seven years, Lemmie Battles’ stunning vocals have helped shape the sound of this Grammy and Stellar nominated group. After the January 2003 release of the Chicago Mass Choir’s album“Live in Nashville,” it became obvious that it was time for Lemmie to step out and be featured on her own as a solo artist. Lemmie Battles has nine grandchildren, five children, two sisters, eight brothers, and is a three time cancer survivor. If that is not sufficient for her to send praises like crazy, her first solo project “Let’s Have A Good Time- Live” (New Haven Records), surely did the job with the testimonial remake of Inez Andrews’ hit “Stranger in the City”! But to date, Evangelist Battles released her sophomore project, the new live worship experience recorded in Chicago in June 2006, entitled, “You’re Looking At A Miracle.” This testimonial, uplifting worship experience is a sheer testament of God’s goodness and is a must have for every believer in the body of Christ! Between solo projects and other collaborations, this Arkansas born evangelist/singer has developed notoriety as a member and soloist of the Chicago Mass Choir. Three of those memorable solos are Holy Ghost Power; I’m Going With Jesus All theWay; andWhatever You Need God’s Got It. In the last decade, Battles has performed with many gospel greats to name a few: Pastor Shirley Caesar, Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin, the Mighty Clouds of Joy, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Minister Jesse Dixon, plus recorded efforts with C.M.C., and Reverend Clay Evans & the Ark Mass Choir. During her ministry travels both solo and with the Chicago Mass Choir, her vocals have been heard across twentyfour different states in the United States, and internationally in Jamaica and Switzerland. Like several gospel artists, she can claim theatre credits on her résumé with the production, “New Beginning.” In June 2004, Battles, along with Dorothy Norwood, Tramaine Hawkins, and others, paid tribute toMahalia Jackson in front of an audience of over 20,000 attendees, at the 20th Annual Chicago Gospel Music Festival. Battles favored the audience with a vigorous vocal interpretation of “Soon I Will Be DoneWith The Troubles Of TheWorld” and closed out with one of her signature songs, IWill Praise Him.
