Erica Campbell Keeps It Trill With Trap-Infused Gospel Anthem “I Luh God”: Watch The Video
As one half of enduring gospel duo Mary Mary, Erica Campbell has been praising Him in song since 2000. The 43-year-old dropped her debut solo LP Help last year and surprised many by landing in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise then that she recently rereleased the album with new tracks. Less expected is the edgy direction of the project’s lead single, “I Luh God.”
Assisted by fabulously-named rapper Big Shizz, the divine diva spreads her message of praise with a trap-infused club-banger. “I Luh God” is an absolute riot with corny/catchy lyrics (“You don’t luh God? What’s wrong witchu?”) and questionable beats. It’s a lot of fun, but not everyone is enjoying Erica’s secular adventure. However, the criticism seems completely unwarranted. Michelle Williams has dabbled in dance music and Christian rock is a genre unto itself. The vocalist’s message will reach a whole new audience with this tune — even if it as a curiosity.
