Reality Star Rebecca Crews, Wife of Actor Terry Crews, to Release Debut Single and Smooth Jazz/Inspirational Album (VIDEO)
Rebecca Crews, the reality star and wife of Actor/Comedian Terry Crews, will release her debut single "Can I Stay" this summer and Jazz/Gospel album shortly after.
Rebecca is known for her hit reality show on BET, "The Family Crews," alongside her extremely successful husband Terry seen in the popular "Are We There Yet?," "White Chicks," the first and second movies of "The Expendables," and many others.
Falling into the smooth jazz genre with a gospel/pop influence, fans can download Rebecca's new single beginning July 8. The single will serve as a preview of what her full-length album will feature, which will be released in October 2014.
The former Gospel singer wrote her new inspirational track after a spiritual experience. "It was so overwhelming, that the lyrics immediately started flowing while I was heading home from church," explained Crews in a press release. "I felt like I was able to remove myself from the chaotic world around me, and see clearly that God has a plan for me and my future. Having that security and peace was something I wanted to share with the world!"
Infused with musical influences from Sade, Adele to Norah Jones, "Can I Stay" is a mixture of genres that can reach any listener. With Haskel Jackson (Genesoul Productions) serving as Co-Producer, Crews not only produced the single, but wrote and arranged the song as well. Additionally, the multi-talented artist also played many of the accompanying instrumentation as a keyboardist, covering piano, strings and other programming.
"This music is lo-o-ong overdue," said Crews, a former beauty queen. "I have been busy tending to my big family, my larger-than-life husband, and producing a hit reality show. Now that the kids are older and things are looking up for us, I know the timing is perfect!"
Below is a video of Crews singing her original gopsel song "In Your Presence."
