-

TolumiDE (pronounced toe-LU-mee-day) is one of the newest artists to embrace the urban contemporary gospel genre.  With a style that is uniquely hers and a ministry that can't be compared to any current artist of the day, she's forging her own path in inspirational music.  Making her way to the U.S. by way of Nigeria and Canada, TolumiDE's sound is a mixture of urban, world, soul, funk, reggae, gospel and, of course, African rhythms, all rolled up into one.  The recipient of the 2009 African Heritage Award for Outstanding African Artist is dropping her first full-length project entitled My Love on Tuesday, May 25, 2010.  The project is being distributed nationally by Edmondson Communications, Inc. and is available in Christian bookstores and online sites including Amazon.com and iTunes.   
The artist officially released the project at Washington, D.C.'s hot spot Busboys & Poets.
The industry has already been abuzz about the singer's lead single, "My Love", a funky, infectious pop and urban tune about the artist's relationship with the Lord.  The single's video, directed by Tayo Abereoje for Black Royal Pictures, has also caught the attention of fans and gospel industry insiders alike with thousands of views on countless video websites.  Exposing all the musical sides of the artist, the CD, My Love, is power-packed with one great track after another.   
TolumiDE uniquely packages inspirational messages with brilliant songwriting, flawless production and riveting vocals.  Throughout the twelve tracks, all penned by the artist herself, TolumiDE bares her musical soul and takes the listener on an emotive and telling journey of her life and her Lord.  Songs like the catchy "More Than You'll Ever Know" and the slick "What I'd Like To Be" are winners.  "More Than You'll Ever Know" is a relaxed track about true love and "What I'd Like To Be" takes you by the hand with its captivating hook and memorable melody.
The Washington, D.C.-based singer is a graphic designer by day and an artist by night.  While attending York University in Toronto, she became part of the multiple award-nominated group, Women Ah Run Tings.  The group garnered numerous Canadian Music Award nominations, opened for artists such as Beenie Man and secured airplay on stations like Much Music, Canada's #1 Video Music Channel.  In 2008, TolumiDE released an EP entitled Specialty which saw moderate success and the lead single's video "Because You Know" was played on MTV Base Africa, Channel O, Nigezie TV and other online media outlets.  Through her career, she's been blessed to perform at Blues Alley, the Vancouver Jazz Festival, the Toronto Jazz Festival, the Nigerian Entertainment Awards, FestAfrica, the Canadian Reggae Music Awards and other prestigious events.
She's excited about the new project and feels that her fans will love it as well.  "It's Gospel Soul and Afro-pop CD with a unique blend of sincere lyrics and invigorating music that fuses African and Western elements," she explains. "It's definitely a good world music mix with elements of Reggae and Jazz. I'm really excited with what I have to share."

  By Mona Austin One of the most eligible bacherlors in Christianity has tied the knot - Marvin Winans remarries After being single for almost 30 years, legendary gospel singer and Bishop Marvin L. Winans, Sr. has wed his long time girlfriend Deneen R. Carter. Carter is a 57-year-old physical therapist and minister at Perfecting Church in Detroit, founded by Winans. Little is known about the bride publicly. The gospel legend introduced the now Mrs. Winans as his fiance to the congregants of Perfecting in October of 2021. The couple had been in a relationship for 15 years. Pastor Winans was previously married to fellow gospel singer Vicki Winans (with whom he has two sons) for 16 years before they divorced in 1995.

If we are judging by floral count, this could be one of th...

The lesser known scandalous life of Frederick Douglass

buzzz worthy. . . By Mona Austin Much of what the average American knows about Frederick Douglass lies in the pages of "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave."  His memory has lived on through the annals of history as a heroic abolitionist. A recent article revered Douglass  as "A king among men."  Note to The Atlantic writer who wrote those words in the article  Memo to the White House on the Contributions of Frederick Douglass  --  applying t hat very Biblical reference to Douglass is an overstatement.  The article was a response  to President Donald Trump saying at a White House "Listening Session " on Black History Month that   Douglass is  “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”  The Atlantic article was intended to show Mr.Trump and others who may be ignorant of his significance that Douglass was not on the sidelines of Bl...
