SUNLAN & The Light Bulb Lady
Nothing to Fix on ‘Broken’
Darwin Hobbs, one of gospel music's most sought after male performers, has released a new
album entitled ‘Broken.' The album runs a gamut that includes reverential songs o f warship,
majestic ballads, smooth R&B and hip-hop grooves. Hobbs said he called the album broken
because he believes “brokenness to be a posture that God wapts to bring forth in the life of
anyone who seeks to follow and to serve him ."
I walk in to my house, turn on all the lights and still cannot make it
bright enough to chase a way the winter blues. How come?
