Why can’t you just love me?” The last track is a funkier track called ‘It Ain't Over’. Evident throughout the album are the clever melodies and quality of the musicians. Marcell and his group is a band, you know would put on quite a show if you saw them live. This studio produced, sensitive album is trying to make sense of life and religion and is like a soothing balm in a world full of deep cuts" -Tracey Cope [Just Soul] ___________________________________________________________________________________________________  This documentary was inspired by Marcell & the Truth song "You Saved Me". The director and producer of the film was given a copy of Marcell & the Truth latest album by Marcell Russell himself to help promote Lamar & Ronnie Tyler 1st work "Happily Ever After".
