You’ve got to take into account too that this past Mother’s Day I celebrated 21 years in the industry. Even with R&B I get nervous, but there is a comfortability in that when I sing that first note, I sit in my comfortability. So it’s gliding for the rest of the show, because I know how to operate the controls. Oh you better believe it, because God may switch your program up right in the middle of you singing. Because it’s not a performance anymore — now it’s a ministry. There’s a thing of wanting to be right before you go before his people. You aren’t trying to just go out here and just get people hyped. I’ve got a bigger responsibility than that. Well, right now that’s what I’m recording. In fact I’m working on the second record even as we speak. Because I’m just so excited and he’s just putting so much in me to do. But I can’t say that I won’t go to some of the same places that I’ve been, because the deal is that we’re supposed to take the word — proclaim the word throughout the world Now when I look at where God has me, and he has me doing this gospel album which is totally dedicated to his glory, right, but now, he takes me back to some of the same clubs that I sang in, so I might have to sing a “Baby Come to Me” ... because that gets their attention. That’s what they know me for, but by the same token, before you leave, we’re going to talk about a risen savior. God is using the same person. He’s changing some things inside the person, but I’m the same person. That really had less to do with the people than it did my history and how I record. If you look at some of my past albums, on the very first album there has always been variety. I didn’t want to do just traditional, I didn’t want to do just contemporary, I didn’t want to do just jazzy, I wanted to have a little bit of flavor of it all. I don’t know that I can categorize myself. If I tried to be like the Clark sisters ... then I missed the people that I’ve got a chance to minister to. There’s only one Regina Belle, so Regina Belle needs to be Regina because somebody needs to hear from Regina.
