NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug 31, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- B&C Records in conjunction with Malaco Records is proud to announce the upcoming release of Still, the highly anticipated and eagerly awaited new studio album from the platinum-selling chart-topping award-winning gospel duo BeBe & CeCe Winans. Still will be available online and in stores on Tuesday, October 6.
Still is BeBe & CeCe's first album in more than 15 years and is the reunion that has been on the lips of fans around the world since it was announced earlier this year. Since the their self-titled debut album in 1987, this chart-topping brother and sister duo topped the R&B and inspirational charts with their debut single, "I.O.U. Me," and generated Grammy nominations, Dove and Stellar Gospel Awards. BeBe & CeCe were the first African-American artists to receive significant airplay on CCM radio stations and the second African American artists to receive the Dove Award in the Group of the Year category.
Premiering 12 new BeBe & CeCe classics, Still includes the album's recently released lead single, "Close to You" which has received critical acclaim and success for its soul-stirring, smooth sound and pristine vocals. The video for the single was recently launched on Yahoo and can be viewed by logging onto http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos. Other tracks on Still include the heart wrenching "Grace," "Things" (featuring brother Marvin Winans), "Let It Be" (featuring Mary Mary) and "I Found Love" (Cindy's Song) which is destined to be the wedding song of the year.
With assistance from longtime producer and collaborator Keith Thomas, along with Warryn Campbell, Percy Bady, Peter Zizzo, Merv Warren and Mario Winans, BeBe & CeCe weave their love for God in a faith-fueled gospel sound that combines a tuneful blend of R&B, pop, soul, jazz and more.
Growing up in Detroit, MI, Benjamin "BeBe" Winans and Priscilla "CeCe" Winans were born into a home that birthed the first family of Gospel music. The Winans Family was led by a mother and father who taught their ten children the foundations of a Godly life and admonished them to use their voices for the glory of God. The success of their four brothers, The Winans, blazed a trail for BeBe & CeCe to create their own path of writing and performing music that would attract a legion of fans and change the face of Gospel music forever.
After the success of their debut album, BeBe & CeCe became the first Gospel pair to see their second album, Heaven, reach 1 on the Billboard sales charts in 1988 and also be certified Gold. The title track reached 12 on the Billboard R&B singles chart and also spawned two more hit singles with "Lost Without You" and "Celebrate New Life."
In 1991, the dynamic duo released Different Lifestyles featuring the single "Addictive Love" and a cover of the Staples Singers classic, "I'll Take You There." Both singles topped the R&B charts. From there, BeBe & CeCe released two more albums and after an amazing run of smash hits and albums, BeBe & CeCe went on to pursue incredibly successful solo careers.
With a phenomenal career that has spanned more than 20 years, BeBe & CeCe have become one of the most commercially successful gospel artists in the business. As a duo their accolades include five Grammy Awards, eight Dove Awards, two NAACP Image Awards, one Soul Train Award and over a dozen Stellar Awards. They have also racked up 12 chart topping R&B singles, as well as numerous 1 singles on Christian AC and CHR radio, three gold albums and one platinum album. In conjunction with the release of Still, the BeBe & CeCe Reunion Tour will criss-cross the country later this year. SOURCE B&C Records
CNN Profiles CeCe's Career
On November 23rd, CNN featured multi-award winning singer and entrepreneur, CeCe Winans, in their "To The Top" segment. Winans' career spans over 20 plus years in the music business, which was launched with her brother, BeBe, in the late 80's. The dynamic duo was recently featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show along with Vince Gill and Wynonna Judd performing "Right Now" (We Need One Another) which can be purchased on iTunes. The siblings team up again in 2009 for their first recording in 15 years.
Winans' recent release, Thy Kingdom Come, marks her eighth solo CD, but the gospel songbird is doing more than singing these days. She is also the founder of Always Sisters, an outreach for young girls and teens. <>
Dear Friends
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am sure we you are aware as I am that we are at war, not only Iraq but a war to save our homes, families, marriages, jobs and the list goes on. We must remind ourselves that as long as we focus on and listen to our commander and chief, Jesus Christ, we will win. God is our source and our prayer has to remain, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done.
The Lord has graced me to record my 8th solo project entitled “Thy Kingdom Come”. For me with every project there is a purpose and the purpose for this project is to encourage the body of Christ that we cannot be moved by what we see but rather what we know about God and who He is. Prayer, Praise and Worship is your greatest weapon and my prayer is that the music that God has given me will encourage you to stay the course. Be encouraged my brothers and sisters and remember, the Kingdom suffereth violence and the violent take it by force (Matt. 11:12), so let’s proclaim together Thy Kingdom Come and Thy Will Be Done .
