Good morning everyone! We have been truly blessed! 😊

[@tinamarie8061]

You can tell they are genuinely fans of each other. Totally unique sounds. Perfectly blended. And they give each other space to shine. Not trying out holler, out vibrato and out run each other to def😂

[@taylathemogul]

I’ve been following Mali Music since I found Christ in middle/high school & J McReynolds since college. Wow, wow, wow! Silent night & Mary Did you know literally just made me shout in the kitchen! Amazing men. Edit- now I’m still listening to this mix a year later and I’m crying Everytime I hear this and now must hear this playlist every time the holidays approach. We need another Mali and Johnny concert featuring this set!

[@tiffakang4525]

I expect a Christmas album now.

I agree. That's Thaddeus and he is great at bass.

No one’s talking about the bass and vocal riff at 11:20? Pure gold!

i forgot how good mali was. amazing. effortless control, with an amazing, distinctive tone and vocal texture. jonathan mcreynolds, is the definition of control. with inimitable clarity and beautiful phrasing… easily one of the greatest male vocalists of today. and the anointing. and the MUSICALITY. and YES IZAAC ON BACKGROUNDS.

[@mugumearnold6523]

Jonathan McReynolds relies on his falsetto and knows how to use it effectively

[@MeikoMartinGary]

That transition from Moving on to Go Tell It On the Mountain!! Thank you Tiny Desk. Jon and Mali, thank you for executing and loving God and each other.

[@MissRuRuTru]

I'm only 60 seconds in and I got chills already. Two of my favorites. They will have a big influence on music for decades 🔥🔥🔥

[@Chan2renee]

And I'm the one who absolutely hates the rundown of Christmas songs every year. But this one was like a spoon full of sugar making the medicine go down for me ((❤))

[@neldabailey4413]

I just need to recognize Mr. Thaddeus for his work on Mary, did you know!! That bass with Jonathan’s clear vocal gave me everything I didn’t know I needed.

Mali and Jonathan are the best thing to happen to music in general. They are both so underrated. I'm so happy for their Grammy nomination
