Similar to the Jackson family\u2019s impact on pop music, and the Carter and Cash families\u2019 history with country, the Winans family is truly gospel music royalty. Also an award-winning songwriter and producer, BeBe Winans has achieved notoriety both as part of the hit-making duo BeBe &amp; CeCe Winans and as a solo artist. (Still, the long-awaited duet CD and first Bebe &amp; CeCe album in 15 years, is approaching Gold.) Winans takes his artistic gifts to the next level with an uplifting new collection of patriotic songs, AMERICA AMERICA, a celebration of the heritage and history that we all share.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hVBExGgHo7U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>In the midst of an important election year, this would seem to be a perfect time to remind ourselves in the U.S. of all that we hold dear. \u201cI\u2019m on a mission to share these songs with as many people as possible,\u201d Winans says. \u201cAs a nation, we are going through hard times; people are in need of an uplift. My hope is that these songs can be that, and much more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the exception of three new songs written by Winans \u2013 the beautifully hopeful title track \u201cAmerica America,\u201d the upbeat \u201cWe\u2019re The United States of America,\u201d and the poignant \u201cUltimate Sacrifice\u201d \u2013 the album is comprised of songs long in the public domain. But what is amazing about this new collection is that Winans\u2019 soulful, distinctive tenor gives the songs new life, as if we are hearing them for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe inspiration for AMERICA AMERICA is the time we are living in,\u201d he explains. \u201cSometimes, we forget that we are all Americans. At sporting events, when the national anthem is sung, everyone stands \u2013 black, white, rich, poor \u2013 everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cherished \u201cStar Spangled Banner\u201d brings up poignant memories of his dear friend and frequent musical collaborator, the late Whitney Houston. She spoke with Winans about the revered anthem prior to performing a game-changing rendition of it before the 1991 Super Bowl XXV. He spoke with her again about the highly regarded hymn before recording his version for AMERICA AMERICA. (Winans also won a Grammy Award for co-producing the song \u201cJesus Loves Me\u201d on Houston\u2019s smash hit film soundtrack for The Bodyguard.)<\/p>\n<p>He was actually working on another album when the idea for AMERICA AMERICA came to him, motivated by the challenges Americans from all walks of life are facing on a daily basis. \u201cLift Every Voice\u201d and \u201cAmerica The Beautiful\u201d are familiar to us, but Winans was able to bring who he is as an artist to these songs, giving each an inspired freshness. Each track on AMERICA AMERICA is approached with reverence, sung with grace and filled with encouragement. This includes the glorious title track and first single, \u201cAmerica America,\u201d a soaring, affirmative tribute to this great country that we all share. A touching video for the single, shot in New York City and in our nation\u2019s capital, Washington, D.C., by David Warshauer [artist credits], will soon be available.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have seen the power of music,\u201d Winans says. \u201cI want the nation to heal through this music. When our country is united, we find the path to success.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fuente:\u00a0www.broadwayworld.com<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Critically acclaimed inspirational, R&amp;B and gospel vocalist BeBe Winans is best known as part of the celebrated Winans family.
