Deitrick Haddon Church On The Moon Zipping
POSTMASTER: All 3579 forms to be returned to The Haddon Craftsmen, Inc. 1001 Wyoming Ave., Scranton, Pa. Revealed that in large limestone streams neither brook nor rainbow trout fingerlings were able to. She accidently tripped the auto- matic lever and the line zipped back onto the reel, scaring her.
Rather than think of the title Church on the Moon as silly, think of it as bold and fun, two qualities that help define Deitrick Haddon. The title to the contemporary gospel singer’s fifth effort is tied to the album’s key track, 'Gravity,' which finds Haddon observing the beauty of Earth from the Moon. It also refers to the futuristic side of the album, which is well aware of the slick club styles of Taio Cruz and the Black Eyed Peas. The singer crafts his own gospel futurism out of these influences, hyping up the word of the Lord with polished synth lines, rock-solid hooks, and that playful way Haddon delivers the gospel, where lines like “I ain’t talking about the King of Pop/I’m talkin’ about the Kings of Kings!” feel perfectly natural. Still, as forward-thinking as many tracks are, familiar R&B cuts like the aforementioned “Gravity” anchor the ambitious effort, and if you think Haddon has no sense of history, check the doo wop-fueled “Touch Me” or the powerful power ballad “Mighty God.”

Early years[edit]
Haddon launched his solo career as a Christian R&B vocalist with the Lost & Found on Tyscot/Verity in 2002. The set peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Gospel Charts[1] and received wide critical acclaim and spawned the hit 'Sinner's Prayer' which was played extensively on gospel and mainstream R&B radio stations.[2]
The 1970s-leaning Crossroads followed in 2004, led off by the upbeat single 'God is Good'. In an uncharacteristic move for marketing a gospel album, Haddon made an appearance on the long-running syndicated series Soul Train performing the single and the title track from the album.[3]
Haddon appeared to be pushing his Gospel artistry further into the ranks of mainstream venues with 7 Days, released October 10, 2006. 7 Days was produced almost entirely by R&B producers Tim & Bob[4] Balancing out the contemporary bulk of the album is the traditional gospel-flavored lead single 'Heaven Knows' which Haddon produced himself.
Haddon and his brother Gerald also produced the comeback album Brand New Day for veteran gospel vocalist Vanessa Bell Armstrong.Deitrick Haddon & Voices of Unity's Live the Life won Gospel Music Workshop of America Excellence Awards for 'New Artist of the Year—Urban Contemporary' and 'Album of the Year—Urban Contemporary'.
On September 2, 2008, Haddon released an album called Revealed. This album includes the popular single, 'Love Him Like I Do' (featuring Mary Mary and Ruben Studdard). On July 27, 2010 Haddon made his film debut in a movie released directly to DVD called Blessed and Cursed.
On January 25, 2012, Haddon released Church on the Moon, his fifth album with Verity Records. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboards Top Gospel charts and No. 65 on the Billboard 200.
Haddon is part of the cast of the reality television show Preachers of L.A., which chronicles the lives of six Los Angeles preachers, including Haddon. The show began airing on October 9, 2013 and airs on the Oxygen network in the United States.
Television[edit]
In 2019, Deitrick Haddon starred as Clarence Burnett in the TV One orginial summer movie Sins of the Father.[5]
