Gospel legend Vickie Winans has emerged from the recording studio fine-tuning what is destined to go down in history as one of the landmark gospel albums of our time and certainly the most-anticipated gospel release of 2006. A decade in the making, the thirty-three song, double CD “Woman to Woman: Songs of Life” (Verity Records/Zomba) was released August 8, 2006 worldwide. Thousands pre-ordered the project as a part of Winans’ historic “I Am One of the Million” campaign to inspire a million women and the men who love them, to buy the CD on release week - a first for a gospel project.
“I have worked so hard to make this the best project that I have ever
recorded!” Winans says. “There are live orchestral strings on all the ballads, contemporary upbeat songs, traditional songs; it is just packed with gospel goodness, with a little spice of comedy! It will definitely minister to all women regardless to what state they are in.
Although, it’s targeted to women, there’s plenty for men to enjoy in there. Anyone who needs to be inspired, can releate to the songs on this CD!”
The first half of the groundbreaking project features studio tracks by leading producers such as Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins; Warren Campbell; Winans’ platinum-selling son, Mario Winans; Cedric & Victor Caldwell; Steven Ford; and Vickie Winans herself. Kayla Parker, who has done background vocals for Winans since 1991, creates mesmerizing background vocal arrangements throughout the project. Winans co-wrote many of the songs and also has stellar contributions from Walter & Edwin Hawkins, Angie Winans, Brent Jones, Mario Winans, Marvin Winans Jr. and others.
The second CD was hosted by Bishop T.D. Jakes and recorded before an enthusiastic audience of 10,000 at the House of Hope Worship Center in Chicago. Backed by an orchestra, a full choir and a phenomenal rhythm section, Winans laid down a string of heart-pounding music performances that ranged from traditional church songs and a calypso praise number to heart-wrenching ballads. The first single, “It’s Alright,” has hit the Billboard Top 10 Gospel Singles chart and Billboard R&B Airplay chart. For more information, visit www.vickiewinans.com.
