To celebrate the release of Maurette Brown Clark’s long-awaited album The Dream, Brown-Clark will be holding a pre-release CD party on Sunday, March 18 at 5:00 p.m. at the Greater Mount Calvary Holy Church, 610 Rhode Island Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C., and a release party on the CD’s release date, Tuesday, March 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bethel AME Church, 1300 Druid Hill Avenue. Both concerts are free. Guest artists for each event include Anthony Brown, Answered Prayer, and Overfloe* (*Overfloe will only perform at the pre-release concert in Washington).

“Maurette Brown-Clark is a Stellar Award winning gospel artist known as the ‘Princess of Praise and Worship’ for good reason,” states D.A. Johnson, Malaco Music Group’s Director of Gospel Music. “The Dream is an exciting release produced by top-notch industry icon Asaph Ward (Kim Burrell, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Evelyn Turrentine Agee, Men of Standard) and boasting some of the best writers in gospel (Richard Smallwood, Donnie McClurkin, Jonathan Nelson) as well as new writer Darien Dennis who penned her first single from the project, “One God.” If the enthusiasm building in radio is a sign of things to come, I look forward to this record becoming a hit for Brown-Clark and a best-seller for AIR/Malaco.”

The Dream is a live recording performed to a packed house of more than 2,000. A 13 song powerful CD, this project features four songs written by Brown-Clark, the Richard Smallwood penned praise and worship song, “Lord We Praise Your Name” and a re-make of the Donnie McClurkin & New York Restoration Choir classic, “We Worship You.” Other hit writers on the project include Stellar Award winner Jonathan Nelson (“Healed” by Donald Lawrence and “The Struggle Is Over,” Youth for Christ), Anthony Brown and Eddie Brown. “One God,” the first single to release on the project is hoped to cross cultural and denominational divides to unite Christians under one God in their faith, becoming a Christian standard; an anthem to be sung for many years to come.

Of the recording Brown-Clark says, “I wrote some of the songs and then I went out to other artists and songwriters that I knew, loved, and that wrote my heart. They wrote as if they were up in my house living with me...hanging out with me. And so I feel like I literally wrote all of the songs.”

Brown-Clark’s six-year-old daughter, Jada, also appears on the CD as guest artist for the song, “I Am What God Says I Am.”
