Hi Everybody,
As I write this, I am preparing for a much needed vacation, but I couldn't go without sharing the wonderful news!...
As I mentioned in my last entry, I will be releasing a new CD through Sounds True Publishing entitled Singing the Sacred Yes this summer . The official release date is August 1st, but if you are really anxious to get it as I know some of you are, you can order it off of Sounds True's website (www.soundstrue.com) now. Just type in "Valerie Joi" in the search menu and it will come right up. Also, the bookstore of my spiritual community, Inner Light Ministries (www.innerlightministries.com), will have it on sale beginning July 1st.
Singing the Sacred Yes is a remixed, remastered and expanded version of Rise Above. I added or changed vocal parts, added keyboard parts, Hammond B3, guitar....the entire production is musically rich and spiritually powerful. I feel very good about it and I hope that you do, too. The three additional songs are: Living Grace, Resurrect Me and a spoken word piece featuring Rev. Deborah Johnson entitled Unity. If you think that Rise Above lifted you up, then you'll soar with Singing the Sacred Yes. I really mean it. It is a spiritual odyssey. Praise God!
As a result of the new CD, I have decided to discontinue my Rise Above CD. It will no longer be available on-line or in stores. But Singing the Sacred Yes will and I ask that you purchase it and tell your friends about it so that we can prove that there is a demand for music ministry such as this. Most importantly, I pray that you are blessed by it.
As always, please check back soon. I'll keep you posted on my life. Until then…
Peace and Blessings,
Valerie Joi
