DONALD LAWRENCE & CO - THE LAW OF CONFESSION
First Single: Back II Eden | in stores 02.03.09
Grammy winning producer Donald Lawrence recently staged his sophomore live CD recording as a solo artist for the Quiet Water/Verity/Zomba Label Group. On the forthcoming CD entitled "The Law of Confession," Lawrence was backed by a ten-member group of singers calling themselves The Co. The ensemble brought verve, devotion and refinement to a dozen songs inspired by the forthcoming book of the same name by Lawrence's pastor Bill Winston of Chicago's The Living Word Christian Center (where the project was also recorded before a capacity audience). "A law is simply a principle, based on the predictable consequence of an act," Lawrence says. "Confession in the Greek language is homo-logeo which means to say what has been said. There is a spiritual law for confession: you just say what God has already said...'Speak The Word.'"
STEPHEN HURD - TIMES OF REFRESHING
First Single: Amazing | in stores 01.27.09
A call was sent out to Worship leaders, Music Directors, Psalmists & Musicians from around the nation. On the evening of Friday, May 23, 2008, an intimate group of three hundred met in the upper room of First Baptist of Glenarden in Landover, Maryland. United in heart and purpose, desperate for renewal, they cried out to God. The night was riveting, the effect impactful and the result... Times of Refreshing. Co-produced by Stellar Award nominee Stephen Hurd and Justin Savage, Times of Refreshing will renew your spirit and reinvigorate your congregational worship and personal devotions.

SHERI JONES-MOFFETT - TBA
Sheri Jones-Moffett has been a busy lady. The singer best known for such Top Ten gospel smashes as "Come Ye Disconsolate" and "Celebrate" with vocal partner Ted Winn, is enjoying a nice side career as a solo artist. Aside from leading Donald Lawrence & the Tri-City Singers' 2007 #1 gospel hit "Encourage Yourself". The songstress will soon announce a new solo recording deal with a major gospel recording label; but in the meantime, Jones-Moffett adds her lush vocals to the breathtaking title song of Bishop T.D. Jakes' new holiday CD, The Gift Remains (Dexterity Sounds/ Rhino). This jazzy tune is destined to become a future Christmas classic with its heavenly backing vocals, acoustic guitar strumming, an intro by Bishop Jakes himself and percussive Latin textures.

KATHY TAYLOR - LIVE: THE WORSHIP EXPERIENCE
First Single: Oh How Precious | in stores 01.27.09
No stranger to the music business, Kathy Taylor began her recording career as a soloist with the legendary James Cleveland's Gospel Music of America and The Mass Choir. She also received a Stellar Award nomination for her 1999 CD, 'Taylormade.' The greatly anticipated two-CD set, "Kathy Taylor Live: The Worship Experience" contains the lead single "Oh How Precious," which is already garnering national radio airplay and is #23 on the R&R Gospel Radio Chart. The project also features the legendary Dorothy Norwood on the timeless classic "God Specializes."

BRIAN COURTNEY WILSON - JUST LOVE
First Single: All I Need | in stores 01.27.09
Just Love is the result of Brian Courtney Wilson's decision that his straight job as a pharmaceutical sales rep wasn't fulfilling enough, and that he wanted to dedicate his life to expressing himself through music. But the more significant fact is that it was Wilson's connection to his Christian faith that ultimately informed his decision. The smooth, contemporary R&B sound of Just Love brims with testimony to Wilson's belief. Tracks like the single "All I Need" and the stirring ballad "Simply Redeemed" tell of Wilson's journey toward spiritual awareness, all to a soundtrack that is upbeat, danceable, and affirming.
