The Essential Commissioned by Commissioned - Uhune

COMPILATION

Volume 1

Volume 2

A two-disc, 29-track track anthology that spans the group's entire career, THE ESSENTIAL COMMISSIONED is the best starting point for new fans. This black gospel vocal group, whose take on contemporary gospel is heavily influenced by modern R&B elements, is a contemporary analogue to the likes of previous pop-gospel crossover acts like the Soul Children and the Staple Stingers. Highlights include the sweet ballad "Everlasting Love" and the nine-minute multi-part epic, "Ordinary Just Won't Do."
