GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA - Gospel industry
newcomer NoNa Jones, who has been dubbed “a tremendous talent who is positioned
to be a front-runner in the music industry” by multi-Grammy nominated,
multi-Stellar Award winning artist/producer Ben Tankard, has already reached a
new level of success in her career with her debut album, “Take Me,” hitting #25
on the Billboard Gospel Albums Chart after its first week of release. The
6-song EP, penned entirely by NoNa Jones and Executive Produced by Tim Mulberry
(Trapset Productions), has been received with acclaim throughout the industry
with the debut single, “Be Alright,” being called a “hit” by radio announcers
around the country.
“As a new, unsigned gospel artist, I
am humbled and overwhelmed by this announcement. To God be the glory for the
things He has done. Debuting on the Billboard Charts was a dream, but I knew
that it would not be possible without God’s favor on this project. He has been
gracious to me and I am so thankful. I wrote the songs on this album with the
dual purpose of encouraging people during times of hardship and glorifying God
during times of worship. It is my prayer that the people who purchase the album
are encouraged and inspired by my music.”
Independent album reviews have been
uniformly glowing, with DeOndray Pope of Freedem Radio calling “Take Me” a
“great independent project with substance and value in a genre that sometimes
misses the mark of sincerity and authenticity.” Jones was featured by Encore
Gospel Magazine as a “Best Kept Secret” that is on the rise in the gospel
industry and was also listed by Artise Magazine as one of the “5 Up &
Coming Gospel Artists You Should Know.” She has been profiled by ESSENCE
Magazine as an “Under 40 Woman to Watch” and Florida Trend Magazine as one of
Florida’s “30-Something All Stars.”
“Take Me” is currently available at
all digital music retailers and physical CDs can be ordered at www.NoNaJones.Bandcamp.com. Jones
is looking forward to a busy calendar of engagements through the end of 2014.
