He duets with Texan gospel singer Kim Burrell on "Sunshine Feel Good" and Sly on the Frank Ocean-esque "Sunrise," later balancing pastor Rance Allen's booming voice with his trademark languid drawl on "Blessing Me Again." Mostly, Bible of Love is a showcase for other artists. There's a redemptive quality to the effort, especially considering his past legal troubles, which adds heft to an otherwise head-scratching release. Even on Snoop's material, he remains virtuous, with bouncy production similar to his past fun-loving collaborations with Pharrell Williams. Without profanity or suggestive content, Bible of Love focuses on uplifting and earnest dedications to Christ and personal transformation through faith. Presiding as musical minister over this congregation, Snoop recruited an impressive roster of the faithful, hopping on only nine of 32 tracks while allowing his guests to express themselves with minimal intrusion. As suggested by its title, Snoop Dogg Presents Bible of Love is not so much a Snoop Dogg album as it is a collection of tunes by gospel, blues, R&B, and hip-hop musicians handpicked by Snoop himself.
