Ya Heard?: New Single From The Mighty Clouds Of Joy

The Mighty Clouds Of Joy - At The RevivalThis year, The Mighty Clouds Of Joy are celebrating 50 years in the gospel music industry– a HUGE feat!

You’d think that after 50 years, the group would just let compilation albums abound and they’d slow down or retire… Not so.

Their newest album, At The Revival, features new tunes produced by famed mainstream producers Raphael Saadiq and Devante Swing.  At all times, though, their music remains traditional and true to what their fans have loved about ‘em.  It’ll be in stores on January 26, 2010.

You be the judge– I’ve just added their newest single, “He’ll Fix It For You,” to the PunditPlayer.

I’m not even a huge quartet fan, but I know good singing when I hear it– this is a solid effort from the Clouds and I kinda can’t stop listening to it!

Whatd’ya think???

Word Has It: Mighty Clouds Of Joy Celebrate 50 Years

Word has it that legendary gospel group, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, will be releasing a new album in early 2010, followed by another compilation project later that year to celebrate their 50 years in the industry.

At the helm of production for the NEW project?  Singer/songwriter/producer (and former member of 90′s group Tony! Toni! Toné!) Raphael Saadiq and Devante Swing of 90′s group Jodeci.  Despite the “young blood,” the album is said to maintain the classic Mighty Clouds sound.

QUITE a combination… what do you guys think?
