July 7, 2015 (New York, NY) - Legendary group, Mint Condition, will release first ever Christmas album, "Healing Season," October 16, 2015. The holiday themed project will include five original songs including "1st Snowfall," "Not What I Wanted," "1 Brand Name," and title tracK "Healing Season."
The
5-member band (Stokley Williams, Lawrence Waddell, Homer O'Dell, Ricky
Kinchen & Jeffery Allen) heralded as one of the last, great R&B
bands, Mint Condition creates a Christmas project that is also perfectly
suited for every day and will last way past the holidays.
"Healing Season"
goes beyond the typical silver bells and holiday cheer, it speaks right
into the hearts of people and seeks to touch a chord with people in
need of healing, peace and comfort before, during and after the holiday
season. With songs like "Not What I Wanted," and "Lonely Christmas," Mint Condition creates powerful and purposeful music.
Although it is Mint Condition's first holiday album, the group's approach was no different. "Healing Season"
offers songs of reverie, reflection, reconciliation, and renewal," said
Mint Condition. "It's about people - who don't necessarily look, live,
or see things alike - rising above old conflicts, wounds, and
resentments in order to realize, reclaim, and celebrate a common
humanity."
"Healing Season"
will also feature holiday classics and favorites. Bringing their
entire arsenal of talent, Mint Condition lends their signature musical
mastery to beloved classics with renditions of "Little Drummer Boy," "A Child Is Born," "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," and "Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto."
Mint
Condition continues as one of few high-profile examples of a
self-contained Black music band that carries on the tradition of great
R&B funk bands. The group continues to tour nationally and
internationally. With 9 studio albums and a career that spans over two
decades, Mint Condition's "Healing Season," is sure to become another defining moment in the group's already remarkable career.
