Several revered artists from the underground house music scene gathered for this “We Are the World”-styled project that benefits LIFEbeat, the music industry AIDS organization. Masterminded by production duo Blaze (Kevin Hedge and Josh Milan), “Keep Hope Alive” is home to songs that capture the heart and soul of nonmainstream dance music. Blaze penned/ produced all of the cuts except for Joi Cardwell’s beautifully soulful “Be Yourself,” which the singer co-wrote. Indeed, this is ebullient, empowering and spiritual stuff. Participants include Byron Stingily (“Spread Love”) and Arnold Jarvis (“Make the Time”). Ultra Naté’s plea for peace, the gorgeously spirited “A Wonderful Place,” is more timely than ever.
