Dave Barnes: The Golden Boy

Image
Whomever coined the phrase, “Silence is Golden,” must have never had kids. Dave Barnes is learning that the fun way. Within the last year or so, the first-time father has gone from the relatively controlled and, at least predictable life on the road, to a chaotic ruckus of baby cries and diapers and he couldn’t be happier about it. “I’ve loved being a dad,” Dave says. “It’s been a real calling. He’s really starting to watch me and everything I’m doing and saying. It’s like there’s a little sponge living in the house.” That’s one lucky little sponge named Ben. Not only is he lucky enough to grow up surrounded by his daddy’s music; he gets to grow up surrounded by his daddy! Formerly on Razor & Tie’s roster, Dave is independent once again. Of course that means a lot more work on his part, but it also allows him to dictate his schedule and comings and goings. “I enjoyed being there [at the label], but I am definitely excited to get back to being unsigned,” he says. “You can do

Latice Crawford

BET Sunday Best second season finalist Latice Crawford is gearing up for her highly anticipated debut release Latice Crawford on RCA Inspiration. Leading the project is the up-tempo single "There". Dubbed the "Whitney Houston of Gospel," Crawford wowed the judges week after week with her gifts, and became most popular with her rendition of "Peace Be Still". A storefront preacher's daughter, Crawford got her start singing in her cousin's choir. The New York landscape, where she oftentimes gathered inspiration, allowed her to explore her creative capacities - writing, designing fashion and perfecting her signature sound. "Not only is Latice an amazing singer, but she has great depth to her voice and character" says renowned Gospel songwriter, producer and artist Donald Lawrence. Since her Sunday Best tenure, Latice and her husband (fellow Sunday Best finalist Jeff Spain) recently starred in BET Centric's newest love-story series &qu

Between Wind and Water

Image
A rich tapestry of acoustic guitar, pulsating beats & synths, lush piano and string featured worship songs and ballads. "Between Wind and Water" is a nautical term used to describe "the part of a ship’s side or bottom which is frequently brought above water by the rolling of the ship, or fluctuation of the water’s surface. Hence, colloquially, the vulnerable part or point of anything." And that's really what the heart is, the most vulnerable part. Additionally, the heart made vulnerable before God is what worship is all about. These songs reflect and reinforce this metaphor and are intended to express the journey of the heart by way of life's open and adventurous seas through worship.  Track Listing   Click Here  To Add Videos.
