This is the debut full-length release by Chicago's dance music legend Roy Davis Jr. for Japan's Lantern label. With his trademarked brand of heartfelt, soulful grooves, this album is a testament to his love of music. From electro-'80s flavors to cool R&B and back to his Chicago house music roots, the album overflows with catchy pop-chart material. God Life Music features seven different vocalists including Detroit's Billboard-topping Terry Dexter, and Los Angeles rapper Khalid. The first single from the album, "I Have A Vision (feat. Erin Martin)," was released earlier in 2009 to worldwide critical acclaim and boasted dancefloor-smashing remixes by stellar artists such as The Juan MacLean, Fred Falke and Todd Edwards. The single was featured on hundreds of blogs, radio shows (including Pete Tong's show on the BBC) and top music and lifestyle magazines (including DJ and Time Out). Davis has remixed artists such as Seal, Mary J. Blige, D'Angelo, Eric Benet/Faith Evans, Patti LaBelle, Christina Milian and others. He also has an impressive discography of his own productions, having released music on top-tier labels such as Strictly Rhythm, XL, Ubiquity, Large, Daft Punk's imprint Roulé, Nice+Smooth and more, and his legendary DJ skills have taken him to clubs around the world. This is also a new phase for the Lantern label, as they enter into the world of pure house groove. Other guest artists include Mark, Manny, XL, and Heat Fam.
