BOBBY PERRY AND RAIN

Conquerors, the sophomore release by Bobby Perry & RAIN (Royal Agents Influencing Nations) on Solaria Records, arrives just in time to shake up a genre that is quickly becoming repetitive. Yes, it’s definitely urban, but Perry injects his own original slant, and delivers an urban praise and worship album that is equally adept at feeding your soul, getting your praise on and delivering the head bobbing, trunk thumping factor in your ride. The eleven tracks on Conquerors feature tight R&B, hip hop and contemporary soul beats, superior vocal harmonies and phrasing, all built around Christ centered lyrics. No, surprise to his fans but for the rest of us, Conquerors is Perry’s long awaited reintroduction to gospel.

In 1994, Perry and his then musical collaborator Robbie Lewis, produced demo projects for many groups throughout the city of Boston, ultimately landing a record deal for their group Here II Praise with Verity records. That album entitled Giving You Nothing But Praise was introduced by gospel legend Daryl Coley who saw something special in Perry & Lewis and afforded them an opportunity of a lifetime. Experiencing national acclaim taught Perry valuable lessons about the industry. Perry later took a hiatus from the industry as he served as Minster of music, Overseer of Worship, Assistant Pastor and eventually the Founder and Pastor of Kingdom Builders’ Worship Center, Inc. RAIN is a collaboration of singers from his church who came together to make Conquerors.

Bobby believes that their mission is to influence nations with their gift of music, to realize that life is “All about Him”. He hopes that everyone will listen to and enjoy their music. However their target audience is the young adult believer and the unbeliever, so that the whole nation can be influence by the Kingdom of God. “It is my desire that those who are not saved would be inspired to start a new life with Christ after hearing our music.” Says Perry. “I also want those who are saved to feel the testimony and understand that although life is sometimes hard, we still can make it because our life is All About Him.”
