VICKIE WINANS SCORES BIGGEST GOSPEL DEBUT OF 2006
ACCLAIMED DOUBLE CD “WOMAN TO WOMAN: SONGS OF LIFE”
NABS #1 SPOT ON BILLBOARD'S GOSPEL & CHRISTIAN CHARTS &
HITS HOT 100 POP CHARTS
Gospel legend Vickie Winans’ much anticipated double CD, “Woman to
Woman: Songs of Life” (Verity Records) has just nabbed a position as
the biggest gospel debut of 2006 with over 25,000 in sales its first
week. The singer has recently graced the covers of Jet and Gospel
Today magazines. Steve Jones, a USA Today scribe, recently called her,
"one of gospel’s most dynamic artists," and wrote that the new CD,
"captures Winans at her show-stopping best. For her, life is a song
worth singing.”
A decade in the making, the thirty-three song, double CD features
the Top 5 gospel radio single “It’s Alright.” Winans recently shot 2
new videos on the new urban and gospel radio singles, “Falling in Love” and
“Madly in Love.” Meanwhile, gospel radio is being serviced with the same 2 singles plus
2 additional singles, “Waiting on Jesus,” and the dramatic ballad, “The
Rainbow.”
“I have worked so hard to make this the best project that I have
ever recorded,” Winans says!“ There are live orchestral strings on
every ballad. There are contemporary upbeat songs and 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 “Newchild” Jerkins; Warren
Campbell; Winans’ platinum-selling son, Mario Winans; Cedric &
Victor Caldwell; 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. This portion was also produced by Winans and Steven Ford.
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, calypso praise numbers to
tear-jerking ballads.

I think Vickie Winans is so cool! She came to our Jurisdiction in Northern Mississippi, and she rocked the house! The youth conferance was a success because of her. She had a contest with the youth, in which it was for the ones who have a good report card. She gave the winner 200 dollars on thier back to school fund. Then the participants all recieved her C.D. with the beautiful photographs on the inside. It was a mark in history! The young people love her so much! It inspired me. I went to the store and purchased the C.D., because I was too old to get in the contest, LOL! I tell you, it was worth every penny! It is awesome! Two C.D.'s for the price of one!
This was a wonderful inspiration to me, and I believe women and men should purchase this awesome C.D.!
