"I.T.N.O.J."
(Taurus M. James)
The title is an acronym for "In The Name Of Jesus", which pointedly identifies The Upper Room's authority in their musical mission. This tune is infectious to say the least, with its simple yet catchy verses and hypnotic groove!
"Simple is good!" is a modest way to express this tune's flavor. Taurus, the song's creator, explains that he wanted to make a simple statement about the Band, the Music and the Reason for it all. "While your head is nodding and toes are tapping to the beat, it's In The Name Of Jesus! While you're humming the melody, it's In The Name Of Jesus!"
"I.T.N.O.J." starts with an unassuming R&B drum loop that is transforms into a slamming composition when all the members drop in for the first verse! Featured saxophonist, Marco Munoz, provides the main voice that is cleverly complemented by the rest of the group. "I.T.N.O.J." makes you want to move with its funk-laced bass lines, tight drums and rhythmic guitar and keyboard play.
"I.T.N.O.J." invites you move to the music of The Upper Room - In The Name Of Jesus!
