It's been said several times that two-time SoulTracks Award winner Kelly Price could sing just about anything and it would be interesting. That voice is one of a kind, its power and its phrasing unique. So, even when Kelly is experimenting, we take notice.

That appears what she is doing with her brand new single, "Everytime (Grateful)," which appears on the Sinners and Saints television show, and which we saw posted by our friends at YouKnowIGotSoul. It is lyrically a beautiful poem of praise and thankfulness for blessings from God. Musically...well, that is more of a challenge. The song is clearly aimed at younger R&B fans, bearing the kind of production that you'd hear from any of a dozen contemporary R&B performers. Her voice sounds great as always, but we can't help but be less enthusiastic about the sound. We know it is unfair to box an artist in to a specific, traditional sound and not let them progress, but we also know that sometimes, when an accomplished artist attempts too hard to skew younger with their sound, it just doesn't fit.
We'd like to know what your reaction is. Check out ""Everyday (Grateful)" below, and tell us what you think.
