On her forthcoming CD Blessed, Broken & Given (Tyscot Records),
gospel vocalist Lucinda Moore uses the pain of her past to craft
fifteen songs to not only please ears, but to also heal souls. The
first single “Blessed, Broken & Given” is building momentum at
various radio formats. “This is my testimony of what God did for me,”
Moore says of the inspiring ballad. “He’s blessed me with a voice but
He had to break some things in me in order for me to be given to the
nation.“
In the past, Moore battled childhood abuse; depression over her
father’s death, and a sixteen-year marriage to someone she says “never
loved me.” However, Moore’s faith was a comfort in the hard times. As
she was preparing for the live recording of the new project at
Atlanta’s Elizabeth Baptist Church, she was dealing with a rough patch.
“I was going through a divorce,” she says. “Emotionally I was a wreck.”
She dug into her faith and wrote the CD’s dramatic title song to
encourage others. “I’m doing it to help other people come out of what
they are coming out of,” she explains. “You don’t have to be unhappy
and sit in abuse… This is the happiest time of my adult life.”
Time Life’s latest gospel release proves that traditional black gospel music is making a big comeback. The new single-disc retail version of the hugely successful double-disc version , Shoutin’ Down the Aisles, has debuted at #8 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart.
One of the fan favorites on the 14-song collection has turned out to be former child gospel star Bryan Wilson’s old school track, “If You’re Talking About Jesus.” The song is a stylistic blend of Pentecostal, New Orleans and Low Country South Carolina musical rhythms that Wilson started calling Bapolstogic music a decade ago. It’s a taste of what’s to come on his forthcoming CD “The Bapolstogia Begins…” Keep up with Bryan at his website www.bryanwilson.com
Shoutin’ Down the Aisles opens with Vickie Winans’ 1997 smash “As Long As I Got King Jesus.” Then, it continues to rock with up-tempo favorites as Fred Hammond’s “Jesus Be a Fence Around Me”, the Chicago Mass Choir’s “Holy Ghost Power” with Lemmie Battles, Jimmy Hick’s “Born Blessed”, Shirley Caesar & Tonex’s “I Know the Truth”, and Keith Wonderboy Johnson’s “Let and Let God.”
