Gospel Soul Singer Theresa Pinkney Drops New Single, "My Prayer", From Acclaimed Debut Record

Theresa Pinkney has been enjoying the success of her debut project, Me Against The World. Drawing strong comparisons to some of music's most soulful singers, including Teena Marie, Pinkney has carved out her own niche in the genre of gospel music. CJBRadio.com named her jubilant song, "Count It All Joy", as their Top Song of the Year. Now the songstress drops another cut and it's a scorcher as well. "My Prayer", the second single from the artist's new project, Me Against The World, is hitting radio now. The mid-tempo, yet uplifting track finds the singer praying to the Lord about her heart's desires. Wrapped in an urban groove, "My Prayer" showcases the psalmist's gorgeous soprano vocals. Jocelyn AKA Indigo was tapped as the lead songwriter (writer of "My Prayer") and producer for the project along with DJ Bam, The Gospel DJ, and Elliot Jefferson from the X-Posure Entertainment Studio.

Gospel music fans aren't the only ones enjoying Pinkney's music. Her local newspaper, Southern Maryland Newspapers, raved about Pinkney's new CD. Journalist Joseph Norris states, "Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of religious music, but I can appreciate talent. From the opening title cut, it's clear Pinkney is a gifted songwriter. My favorite song is called 'Great Jehovah.' The song is nicely crafted and the melody lifts up the words and hooked me right from the start; I liked this song immensely. Even with the obvious religious message in every composition, she proves her songs can be inspiring in other ways. 'Trouble Don't Last Always' will have any Doubting Thomases realizing that even in the darkest night the dawn must follow."

In addition, Theresa was chosen as a singer for "The Reach Song". A "We Are The World" type tune, the goal of the song is to promote musical unity in the body of Christ with the song's proceeds raising money for the PG Network's global relief fund. Another cause close to Theresa's heart is the American Cancer Society's "Relay For Life". A friend and staunch supporter of Theresa's ministry passed away from breast cancer in early 2011. Theresa holds fond memories of her friend, even recollecting times when she would listen to Theresa's song "Promise" while undergoing chemotherapy. Relay For Life is an overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs of the American Cancer Society.

Theresa Pinkney, who hails from the Washington, D.C. area, attended the renowned Duke Ellington School of the Arts. A former member of the gospel ensemble, Just Breathe, and current member of Pastor Earl Miller & Purity, Pinkney brings a sincerity and sweetness to gospel music. Her debut CD, Me Against The World, has been embraced by the gospel music industry with the lead single, "Count It All Joy", hitting multiple charts including the UK Soul Chart and the top of CJBRadio.com Chart. She's been featured in Gospel Today Magazine and on TV on Atlanta Live. More information about Theresa Pinkney can be found at http://www.theresapinkney.com/.
