Award winning Cece Winans To release Purified September 13th

Nashville, TN. - In follow-up to her RIAA Gold-certified Throne Room CD, the award-winning CeCe Winans returns on September 13th with her greatly anticipated seventh solo project, Purified . Produced by Keith Thomas (Jessica Simpson, Vanessa Williams), Tommy Simms ( Bruce Springsteen, Michael Bolton, The Neville Brothers), Mario Winans and Andy Selby (Michelle Williams, Smokie Norful), this is the first pop project between Winan’s PureSprings Label, INO Records,Sony UrbanMusicand Epic Records.

With Purified, Winans combines the transformative power of gospel music with heart-stopping pop, street-smart R&B and infectious dance-floor rhythms to create her most compelling set of songs to-date. Truly inspired in every sense of the word, Purified is a celebration of the heart, the soul and the spirit.

Finding the beauty of God's well of inspiration in both the sacred and the secular, CeCe Winans seamlessly segues from R&B to pop to deeply felt gospel fervor, even adding street-savvy raps to tracks like "Pray," the album's hook-dappled first single(Billboard Gospel charts’ Hot Shot Debut and Greatest Gainer at No. 24 it’s first week out), co-penned and produced by her hit-making nephew Mario Winans (Destiny's Child, Frankie J, Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly, Wendy Williams, New Edition) and "A Place Like This," featuring the rap duo Grits.

With eight of the album's thirteen tracks authored by CeCe, Purified is also perhaps her most personal and candid album yet with tracks like "Always Sisters," "I Promise" and "All That I Need" providing revelatory glimpses into the heart, as well as the soul, of the artist. “All That I Need” will be serviced to Christian AC and Mainstream AC radio this month.

With songs like "Mamma's Kitchen" and "Pray," CeCe seems destined to light up the nation's R&B airwaves with her signature blend of pop-soul-gospel. From the lush string arrangement of "You Will" to the up-tempo Latin-flavored "Let Everything," the songs of Purified transcend musical boundaries and trends, connecting directly to the heart of the listener. CeCe Winans has been given the gifts of talent, inspiration and vision and she shares all of it with boundless generosity on Purified.
