Word has it that Benita Washington is in the studio now, putting finishing touches on her new album, to be released on Shanachie on June 29th.  One of my favorite producers, Daniel Weatherspoon, is spearheading production, so I’m thinkin’ it’ll be hot.

And, SHANACHIE!  I keep saying it, but I see you… Kim Burrell, Ted Winn,Vicki Yohe, Soweto Gospel Choir… BENITA… on the come up!

I haven’t really seen/heard of Benita Washington lately, so I’m excited to see what she comes with this time.  Talk to me– y’all like Benita Washington?

Folks, in stores NOW is an all-star compilation album celebrating the message of hope, inspiration and faith of President Barack Obama.  And I think the artist line-up on this one is kinda hot!

The project, titled A Gospel Tribute to President Barack Obama, features performances from Donnie McClurkin, Israel Houghton, Marvin Winans, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Kelly Price, Jerard Woods and MAAAANY more artists. The album is distributed by Central South Distribution.

The single, “This Is Your Cue,” was written by Angie Winans, features Benita Washington, and is already gaining airplay.  I still get kinda choked up when I think of President Obama winning the election… Watch the video here:

Is it just me, or don’t we love Benita Washington’s new look (not that her old look wasn’t great too)?
