Martha Munizzi Make It Loud

(Orlando, FL) - April 26, 2011 - Martha Munizzi, one of gospel music’s most endearing worshipers, has released her highly-anticipated CD, Make It Loud. A clarion call for God’s people to share their faith with boldness, Make It Loud is the artist’s 6th live recording. The GRAMMY Nominee and Dove and Stellar Award winner is known for her passionate praise and her unique ability to touch believers of all races. Recognized as the top-selling independent artist in gospel music and a top Billboard-charting artist, Munizzi’s Make It Loud is already being touted as the worship leader’s best yet. The new project features the talents of William McDowell, Michael Gungor, Jonathan Stockstill, Lori Morrison, Daniel Eric Groves and the debut of Danielle Munizzi, daughter of Martha and Dan Munizzi.

“Excellent”, the lead single, is a rousing and hyperactive cut about the awesomeness of God. Destined to be sung by praise teams in churches nationwide, it’s the perfect song to give God radical praise. The dynamic horn section and superior musicianship is eclipsed only by the anointed vocals of Martha and her background singers. Other memorable cuts include the jaw-dropping title cut, a clever mix of rock and pop, and the infectious, declarative “My God Is A Big God” featuring William McDowell and Jeff Smith. Fellow worshiper Jonathan Stockstill contributes on the worshipful, “No One Higher” and to the sweet sounds of “I Know That You Love Me”, also highlighting vocals of Christian artist Michael Gungor. Danielle Munizzi, a worshiper in her own right, writes and sings the beautiful “Your Love Oh God” while Daniel Eric Groves co-writes (along with Martha) the reflective ballad “Fill Me”. “Until”, another amazing cut, with its jazzy elements and impeccable harmonies, closes out the 12-track musical masterpiece.

Martha says about Make It Loud, her first self-produced CD, “This CD is about being bold in our faith. But not just by declaring it, but living it. Whether it’s loving or giving or restoring or worshiping, let’s do it with some fervor and passion - like we never have before. Let’s be more intentional in what we do. Let’s have our lives purposely make a statement of faith to change the hearts and the minds of this culture.”

(Washington, D.C.) - January 6, 2011 - Tara White, a Spencer, NC native, has much to say about sex before marriage. With young people falling into the trap of pre-marital sex, the epidemic of teen pregnancy and the rapid spread of sexually transmitted diseases, White wants to do what she can to turn the tide. Having experienced the consequences of bad decisions herself, she recounts her life story through the pages of her first book, Don’t Curse Your Wedding Bed Before You Say I Do. As she spreads the message of abstinence, she also wants each and every single person to commit to living a life of celibacy in 2011.

Tara says, “One of the reasons I wrote ‘Don’t Curse Your Wedding Bed Before You Say I Do’ is to make single people aware of the pitfalls that I went through. I want to see singles live the life that God has intended for them which is why I am encouraging unmarried people to commit to abstaining. It’s never too late to start.”

Tara is encouraging singles who want to live a life of sexual integrity to log on to her website, WeddingBed.net, to sign up for regular messages of encouragement. Those wishing to make their pledges public can post their intentions on Tara’s Facebook page (http://on.fb.me/eou1yH). With the benefits of waiting far outweighing the immediate gratification, Tara is hoping many will cosign to the movement.

In her book, Don’t Curse Your Wedding Bed Before You Say I Do, this mother and wife recounts some of her harrowing experiences of growing up too soon and not following the godly path that had been laid out for her. A call to all singles and teens to abstain, the book is a heartfelt, honest story about the strength of the human spirit, and the power of faith. It makes a case that family dynamics, social and cultural influences, personal life events, painful childhood experiences and divine intervention all interrelate and can impact a marriage and relationships. It is a true testament to God’s grace from someone who has experienced it personally as she proves that there is no mistake too bad for God’s love to cover.

The book provides deep insight on how to survive the battering storms of life better than ever. Whether single or looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right, married seeking help with a troubled relationship, or divorced and not sure if you will ever love again, Don’t Curse Your Wedding Bed Before You Say I Do provides hope and direction to the fulfilling relationship God has called each of us to.

Music World Gospel/Interface recording artist Micah Stampley will release his new EP project on November 16. Release Me is Micah’s fourth CD and a joint project of his independent label, Interface, and Mathew Knowles’ Music World Gospel.

In early October, Music World Gospel will impact both gospel and INSPO/Light AC radio with “Heaven On Earth” and “I Believe” respectively. “Heaven On Earth” is a remake by David and Nicole Binion, written by David L. Binion, John Brockman and Joshua Dufrene and produced by Micah and co-produced by Cameron Sankey. The song expounds on the notion that the believer is supposed to prosper, and not merely in terms of making money. “The Kingdom of God is His people who are living and walking in His ways, in integrity and with righteous character,” Micah says. “… The spirit of the Lord is upon me. His anointing is empowering. The Kingdom of the Lord is within me and He’s calling me to the heavenlies. Yeah!…To be walking in His favor and grace is just like heaven on Earth. Oh!” So go the lyrics to the moderately paced song, buttressed by acoustic and electric guitars, driving percussions and an emphatic choral back-up.
