New Deitrick Haddon Release

With over a decade of creating progressive Gospel music, Deitrick Haddon is gearing up for his forthcoming Zomba Gospel release REVEALED, which will be in stores on September 2nd, 2008.

Produced by Dre and Vidal (Alicia Keys, Usher), Warryn Campbell (Kanye West, Mary Mary) Tim and Bob (Bobby Valentino), and Percy Bady (Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond), REVEALED is a genius work that continues to solidify Haddon as one of the most prolific and talented artists in the Urban Gospel genre.

Relevant to present day life, issues, and emotions, REVEALED is a musical kaleidoscope that will speak to the hearts and minds of both the “churched” and the “unchurched” alike. “I believe that Gospel music can be just as big as rock and fill stadiums around the world. But our music has to reach beyond our religious beliefs to connect on a greater level. I wanted to speak to everybody,” says Haddon. “That influenced my approach to the songs of Revealed. They are not ‘religious’ songs so much as spiritual songs that can connect to everybody.”

Dave Hollister New Release

Stellar Award nominated artist Dave Hollister is set to release “Witness Protection,” his first studio album since 2006’s “The Book of David Vol. 1 The Transition.”

Known for the R&B hits “One Woman Man” and “Can’t Stay,” Hollister has decided to focus on gospel in his latest effort “Witness Protection” slated for release August 5th via Zomba. The 16 track album will feature the single “Striving” as well as the popular tracks “You Are,” “Glow,” and “The Greatest.”

 

“I’m really happy with what we’ve done on the album,” says Hollister. “I always write and record music that reflects where I am in life, and on this project I was drawn towards a theme of persevering through these situations because we know the testing of our faith produces patience.”

“The Book of David Vol. 1″ and “Witness Protection” are not aimed just at Gospel fans but at Hollister’s R&B fans as well. The songs on the album include blunt honesty about his past, as well as, his present which is as much a purging for Hollister himself as he hopes it will be a primer for those going through the same challenges he has faced.

Hollister, also a former member of Blackstreet, made his gospel debut in 2006 via Gospocentric on “The Book of David Vol. 1″ which spawned the single “What Do You Do.”

“Witness Protection” hits stores August 5th.
