Help 2.0

"I'm not finished yet" says urban gospel singer Erica Campbell in the opening commentary of Help 2.0, the rebooted edition of her 2014 Grammy-winning solo debut Help. This casual conversation held with husband and producer Warryn Campbell around their piano is just one of the many additions to the acclaimed release, which also offers up remixes of tracks like "More Than a Lover," "All I Need Is You," and "P.O.G." alongside new tracks ("More Love" and "I Luh God") and additional audio commentary. While two of Help's tracks ("Looking Like" and the title cut) appear here in their original form, most of 2.0 is reserved for expanding and reimagining Campbell's distinctive R&B-flavored gospel with help from guests like Jubu Smith, Big Shizz, and Fantasia. ~ Timothy Monger
