COMING SOON ...
The original "Messages From The Spirit…The Collective" album was released on Expansion Records (UK) in 2020, preceding the anthology that inspired the music. This project was a true labor of love and produced the #1 single “Take A Walk With Love” on the UK Soul Charts. (This is the second installment in the "Messages" trilogy.)
Then came COVID-19, and we were unable to officially launch the accompanying book, "Messages From The Spirit".
Today, I’m thrilled to present this special vinyl edition to celebrate life, reconnect with some of my personal favorites from the original album, and highlight guest artists featured on Side Two. Additionally, this vinyl release spotlights one of my favorite songs from the first album in the trilogy, "Messages From The Heart…An Extension of Love", also released on Expansion Records, accompanied by its own anthology.
This album also previews a track from the upcoming "Messages From The Soul" album, the final chapter in the trilogy, with music inspired by a new anthology of the same name, edited by my husband Douglass R. Johnson Sr. Like the previous books, it shares powerful stories of overcoming life’s challenges, with the music dedicated to those journeys.
“I Choose Love (Jon Redwine Remix)” is a reimagining of the original song, co-written by myself and Patrice Rushen. This remix will be released separately as a single by Jon Redwine, known for his work on Tinashe’s 2014 platinum hit “2 On” and his leadership at RedSound Music Group. Collaborating with Jon—a talented musician, songwriter, and producer who’s worked with artists like Zendaya and Chris Brown—was an absolute joy.
While we may still carry some scars from the trauma of the pandemic, music has the power to heal. This album is my gift to you—and to myself—as I continue to choose love.
Thank you mom, I miss you ….
