With Song In My Soul (1989), AVB made a major shift toward contemporary pop, rock and R&B sounds, though still entirely produced a cappella. Acappella forged ahead with an adult contemporary sound while AVB targeted the youth market. Whereas previously, they had covered traditional hymns, praise songs and contemporary Christian pop music, both Acappella and AVB now recorded and performed primarily original music, much of which was composed by Lancaster. Both groups underwent a shift in musical style during this period. In June 1988, with Acappella's expansion to a quartet, AVB branched off to tour on their own under the auspices of Acappella Ministries. Many of their recordings, which included Give Me Light (1987) and Steppin' On A Cloud (1988), were later re-released on a CD titled The Early Years. In addition to their early duties as Acappella's opening act and augmentation group, AVB performed and recorded as an independent ensemble. AVB went through various lineup and stylistic changes before disbanding in 2000. AVB's popularity and ministry quickly grew, prompting Lancaster to launch AVB as a full-time touring group in 1988.
