Coko's "The Winner In Me" video

News

Christian Music Daily: Powerhouse vocalist Coko, whom many of you remember from the secular girl group SWV, unveiled her new music video for her popular hit song "The Winner In Me" on BET's Video Gospel this January.

BET Video Gospel airs nationwide Sunday mornings at 11:00am EST / 10:00am CST. Interestingly, the show is on when most of y'all are in church! But thank God for "DVR's" and old school "VCR's," plus reruns!

The awesome ballad is the title track from Coko's chart-topping sophomore release THE WINNER IN ME. Coko has been able to move from the secular to Gospel music world and be accepted-- not an easy thing to do!

"The Winner In Me," is a song tailor made for today's times. Relating to everyone's circumstance, the song speaks encouragement and strength. By far it is Coko's most personal and favorite of songs. The song, written by Pastor Kerry A. Smith, Arthur Strong and her husband Michael Clemons, spoke exactly how she felt.

"I remember when I left SWV, I didn't know where I fit in and didn't know how to move forward ... but something pushed me forward. I realized there is a winner inside of me and His Name is Jesus," says the star.

Consonance

Articles

For those of you who like the classic doo-wop vocal harmony sound put together with Gospel music, you need to know about the vocal group known as Consonance, who have a CD, "See The Light," on CDBaby.com.

With a mission to lift up the name of Jesus in song and in praise, Consonance has been together as a group since 1995, and they've gotten to know each other so well that it's evident they sing as if they were actual brothers from the same mother.

The group consists of five members - Rev. Sam Cox, Paul Foster, Jr., Bobby Reed, Rev. Melvin Williams and Mack Williams.

Rev. Cox is a licensed minister and has played drums for Marvin Gaye, the Jacksons and the Eagles. He is also a lead singer with a style that is unique and inspiring.

Paul Foster, Jr. is the son of the legendary Paul Foster, Sr., who with Sam Cooke, were the lead singers for the Soul Stirrers. Paul also was a member of the 1970's group The Brothers and Others. This group recorded for RCA and were well-known throughout the college scene in California.

Bobby Reed is the bass player and a lead singer. He was the frontman for The Right Kind who in the 1970's were known for their hit single, "Why Do You Have To Lie?" Bobby also has played backup for B.B. King, Albert King and others.

Rev. Melvin Williams is a licensed minister and was formerly with the Pacesetters. They recorded with Tamala records and performed in the 1970's with most of the popular acts of that day.

Mack Willams was a member of the Brothers and Others with Paul Foster, Jr. He was also the frontman for the Northern California funk band No Shame. Mack is also a prolific songwriter and arranger.

As you can see, these five gentlemen bring a lifetime of experience to both the stage and to their recordings.

Consonance loves performing live, and have had wonderful opportunities to take the Gospel message to both secular and church audiences. They've performed at the Monterey Blues Festival, the Pittsburg Heritage Festival, the City of San Francisco Juneteenth Festival, The Bay Area Blues Society Revue, the Marin City Blues Festival, the City of Richmond Juneteenth Festival, the AARP Convention in San Francisco, and at many banquets, weddings and private affairs.

The group's style has been described as contemporary gospel, but they also have the ability to resurrect the old time gospel traditional songs of yesterday, which audiences absolutely love. They are masters of tight harmonies and have developed a creative approach to their presentation of praise in song. If you like artists like the Canton Spirituals, the Blind Boys of Alabama, or Boyz II Men, you should get a hold of Consonance's CD, "See The Light," and then be on the lookout for their two other projects releasing later in 2009.

Cool Hand Luke

Articles
Cool Hand Luke is a punk rock band that got its start back in 1998 at Middle Tennessee State University. The band became known for playing with their backs to the crowd, employing lengthy, emotively expressive songs, along with deeply introspective lyrics. Today, Cool Hand Luke is gearing up for the release of their newest full-length album, "The Sleeping House", on Lujo Records. The album, produced by Matt Goldman and showing such diverse influences as Shudder to Think and Keane, is comprised of twelve piano-based songs of a depth, intensity, and relative darkness unseen before in Cool Hand Luke's work. The artwork-intensive album, complete with an enhanced CD, features comprehensive lyrics, explorations of each song, a music video, and in-depth exploration of the meanings contained within the decidedly cryptic artwork. The band has had an interesting journey-- their history reads like a good fiction novel.
