    On TOTAL ATTENTION the group shows considerable growth and proves that they have staying power and appeal that crosses all generations.  Comprised of Evan Martin, Torrence Green and Jor'el Quinn, 21:03 has a robust signature sound that not only gets bodies moving, but that appeals to the hearts and minds of listeners.   

    Replete with production from exceptional mainstays PAJAM, TOTAL ATTENTION includes the powerful first single "Cover Me" that features vocals from Smokie Norful and Fred Hammond.  The fervent ballad is a powerful intercessory anthem which has been an early favorite at radio and has achieved #1 most added status for more than three weeks.

    The electrifying "You" has been the #1 digitally downloaded single on iTunes and Napster and its accompanying video can currently be seen on the Gospel Music Channel as well as BET and other outlets around the country.  Additionally, 21:03 was Gospel Music Channel's "Listen Up" artist of the month.  "21:03's music, talent, style and grace broadly appeals to the Gospel, R&B, Christian, and POP music fans, while maintaining the integrity of the message.   21:03 is a true definition of Gospel Music Channel's ListenUp! Artist on the Rise!!" says Alvin Williams, Senior Director, Music Industry Development, Gospel Music Channel.

    With styles to suit a variety of musical tastes, TOTAL ATTENTION also includes the hip hop inflected  "Talkin Bout" and the remarkably soulful "Now" and "You Got Me Through," both which can give any current R&B hit a run for its money.  "Riverside" and "The Power of Christ" find the group at its best with a cappella performances that put their extraordinary vocals front and center.

    Reviving the boy band with a positive message of hope and salvation, 21:03 has the whole package.  "It's not boring to be a Christian," Torrence says.  "To be a Christian isn't wack, it's an exciting experience when you walk with Christ.  We get so easily distracted by things around us, but God wants your total attention. This is the time to stay focused."
