FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
*Selected of God Choir to Host Evolution Listening Suite in Anticipation
of Upcoming Full-Length Album During Stellar Awards Weekend*
*
*
*NASHVILLE, TN, January 9, 2012* – Ambassadors of Chrysler’s*’* *“Imported
from Detroit” *Campaign, *Selected of God* Choir announces their Evolution
Listening Suite during *the 27**th** Annual Stellar Awards* weekend at
the *Sheraton
Music City Hotel, 777 McGavok Pike in Nashville* on *Friday, January 13**th*
* from 10am-8pm and Saturday, January 14**th** from 9am-9pm*. Selected of
God will give fans, gospel industry VIPs, media and celebrity peers an
exclusive sneak peak at tracks from their upcoming album, *Evolution *(Sing
2 Praise/S2P)set to drop this spring.
Produced by *Grammy*-winning, super producer *Asaph Ward* and Music
Director *Stephen Anderson*, *Evolution* is a poetically written; contemporary,
urban and inspiration record.
The choir’s chilling rendition of Eminem’s “*Lose Yourself*” will lead the
CD, but another stand outs include; a powerful remake of the wildly popular
*Clark Sisters* hit’ *“Sunshine”. *Full of great accents, the explosive
musical arrangement offers a sultry accompaniment to amazing vocals and
boasts featured lead vocals by the actual legendary composer herself;
*Elbernita
“Twinkie” Clark-Terrell*. Selected of God is the 1st choir to ever record
“Sunshine”.
No stranger to the success of a well done remade hit; Selected of God
didn’t take the process lightly. According to the group’s humble Founder
and Director *Larry Callahan*, “It was definitely an honor to remake
“Sunshine”, but there was a lot of weight…not only did we want to honor the
original writer and lead vocalist, who blessed us with her presence on our
project, but we wanted to maintain the integrity of the Clark Sisters’
work—it was a great responsibility”.
Other promising tracks include “*Dwell in Me*”, an upbeat, fun composition
by Stephen Anderson, that showcases the choir’s signature hip church swag. “
*Deliver Me*” is a mid-tempo tune is written by Asaph Ward and national
singer/songwriter Shawn McClemore with featured leads; *Stephen Anderson*and
*Nikki Ross* from Houston. TX.
*Eric Dawkins* of the widely respected *Dawkins and Dawkins* joins SoG
on “*Forsaking
All Others*”. The heartfelt ballad by Adrian B. King proclaims the artists’
stance to not let anyone get in the way of honoring HIM. “*Be Still and Know
*” showcases *Chrystal Rucker,* a rising gospel phenomenon, the powerful
gospel artist comes in on vamp and takes you to church!
Anderson’s “*He’ll Do Just What He Said*” promises to be a foot stomping
Sunday morning experience in your car and “*New Creature*” interprets the
scripture that states if a man be in *Christ*; he can start over. Written
by Asaph Ward and his mother, the late *Dawna Ward*, the mega producer
expressed; “my mother was a choir trainer and helped groom me to be the
producer I am today…I know she would be elated at the work Selected of God
has done with our song and this album.”
The 24 member collective takes a few unexpected turns on their *Evolution*;
infusing other genres with traditional gospel; “*Change is on the Way*”,
written by Asaph and Billy Powell is led by hip hop artist Aaron Parrott,
while “*Making A Way*” is an up-tempo house/techno song with featured
vocals by *Chiffon McNal* and *Rachel Stokes*.
“What’s makes Evolution so special is that it is truly a collage of great
gospel music that can touch individuals from every walk of life and be a
blessing to the nation,” says Stephen Anderson.
As impressive as the material on the project is the caliber and regional
variety of musicianship it features. *Evolution *is graced with some of the
most seasoned musicians in the world including drummers; Chris Johnson (Los
Angeles), Joshua Mayfield of the famous Mayfield Brothers and of gospel
legend lineage; J Drew-Sheard a.k.a. JDS. Ethan Former (Los Angeles) and
Allen “Snoop” Evans (Detroit) Robert Skinner and Aaron Mayfield (Mayfield
Brothers of Kansas) lend the bass, with Michael Bereal also from LA, and
Kevin Powell of Connecticut on keys and North Carolina’s Timothy Mole on
guitar.
