If you had been looking for another massive hit, ‘The Inheritance’ takes a considerably lighter and more relaxed approach. Although Keesha Blair is clearly aiming to place this song within the framework of modern R&B, we must be honest—beneath the cleanly programmed drums, the essential character of the track is purely and simply gospel. The harmonic structure together with the uplifting and collective arrangements are suited to a Sunday morning service.
Gospel, Uplifting, Soulful

Her vocals have a carefree lightness about them and avoid the usual digital heaviness found on her last record. There’s an interesting sonic tension here; the production acts as if it’s creating a smooth, up-to-date groove, yet the soul of the song keeps drawing it back to the church pews. It turns out to be a surprisingly refreshing and cheerful experience to listen to.
