Trin-i-tee 5:7 is all set to release their electrifying third album on August 6. The album will follow in the wake of a nearly Platinum self-titled debut and a Gold status sophomore release, Spiritual Love.
The Kiss, which showcases the sensational talent and unique artistry that the all-girl act is known for, is produced by hit makers PAJAM (Boys II Men, 'NSync, Hezekiah Walker, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Karen Clark), Keith & Darren (Jill Scott, Musiq), Carvin & Dre (Musiq, Jill Scott, Michael Jackson), Fred "Uncle Freddie" Jerkins (Destiny's Child, Brandy, Woody Rock), Shep Crawford (Boyz II Men, Yolanda Adams, Deborah Cox, Whitney Houston), Big Bert (Brandy) and Travon Potts (Monica, BeBe Winans, Christina Aguilera), among others, and for the first time, each of the girls themselves. The three group members individually wrote and produced a song each and collaborated on the track "16 Again."
Trin-i-tee 5:7, Contemporary Gospel music's first girl group to go Gold, continues to deliver a wide musical variety. Everything from r&b to hip-hop to rock to funky pop can be found on The Kiss.
"There's an evolution of progress from Spiritual Love," says Adrian Anderson, one-third of the trio. "We have more life experience - more experience in our relationship with Christ, and as women - from being on the road, traveling abroad and domestically. You get that maturity with The Kiss."
A recent spotlight feature in R&R's CCM Update describes the highly anticipated new project as being filled with "pop-flavored hooks and groovy beats."
"If you aren't already a devoted fan of the trio," says Upscale Magazine's June/July issue, "The Kiss may convince you to give their music -- and a relationship with the Lord - some serious thought."
During the months of August and September, Trin-i-tee 5:7 will be touring with Ray Bady, Men of Standard, and Tonéx. The August 16September 15 tour schedule will include concerts in St. Louis, Kansas City, Greensboro, Charlotte, Greenville, Chattanooga, Atlanta, Nashville, Huntsville, Memphis, New Orleans, Raleigh, Cincinnati, Detroit, Chicago, Vero Beach, Orlando, Miami, and Jacksonville.
The Kiss will be distributed to the CBA market by Provident Music Distribution and to the mainstream market by Jive/Zomba/BMG.
