♫OC MUSIC SAMPLER: SHRERI JONES MOFFETT’S NEW CD ‘RENEWED’♫

Sheri Jones Moffett ‘ The Making Of Renewed’ has been released .The Video Documentary interviews Mrs. Moffett and gives a reflective look at her 16 year career and how she made it this far. ‘The Making of Renewed’ has been released in perfect timing in correlation with the release of her CD on August 11. And let us be the first to say Sheri’s new CD entitled ‘Renewed’ is really hot and unexpected. We’re in love with the way Sheri has been able through this CD to show us who she really is. The public has become so used to hearing her sing everyone else’s music that we never got the chance to see who Sheri is as an artist.

‘Renewed’ does just that. It’s a pure reflection of the artist, her style of music, singing, her ups and downs and how she has made it through. Its fun and full of life .While listening to it you’ll find your joy and strength really being renewed. My favorite song on the CD is track 6 ‘What I Am’ .We have provided OC readers with a 10 track preview of ‘Renewed’ including the critically acclaimed Donald Lawrence hit ‘Encourage Yourself’ . Just click the link above.

This is what Gospel Industry Heavy Hitters have to say:

Donald Lawrence of Tri-City Singers (Sheri’s Musical Mentor and Spiritual Father)
Not only am I excited about the anticipated solo release from Sheri Jones-Moffett…I’m extremely proud of her growth as a singer/songwriter/music executive…[She is] talented and a tremendous jewel for the kingdom. If life has drained you, get ‘Renewed’…

Mary Mary
Sheri is one of our favorite singers. She’s anointed, soulful and passionate. RENEWED is upbeat and energetic…We love it!

Stephon Xavier Marbury a Brooklyn native and NBA All-Star has been living his life on webcam via ustream.com. Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week for the last Two weeks!!! As you watch all the footage (which we have hours and hours of it) its plain to see that he is experiencing a major emotional as well mental breakdown. We all know without Gods mind regulating power it’s impossible to take on a lifestyle of immense pressure.

What became even more apparent after Stephan’s Aug 6^th taping is that the world needs the love of Christ no matter how high or low you think your life is. All of this has created a stir for news carriers across the country after this video of a shirtless Marbury sobbing and crying while listing to “Lean On Me” by Gospel Great Kirk Franklin began to circulate. Multi-Million dollar news medium TMZ spoke to a rep for the NBA Players Association, who made these statements:

“I saw a few hours of it” and it “was interesting” — adding players are “capable of making their own decisions.”

A point guard, Stephon was selected out of the Georgia Institute of Technology by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 4th overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft, but was traded shortly thereafter to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is now a free agent.

No matter what the world is saying we know a man that once found will leave you clothed and in your right mind. We call on his power and strength in prayer to bring Stephon out of this very low place.

The OC recently got our hands on the trailer for the upcoming film Preacher’s Kid, A modern-day adaptation of The Prodigal Son. The cast lineup is outstanding including singers LeToya Luckett, Tank and Essence Atkins. But the character we’re most interested in is ‘Litha’ ,a supporting role played by multi talented Gospel singer/songwriter Kierra ‘KiKi’ Sheard.

(Kierra throwing up duces on the ‘God In Me’ set)

Filmed in Atlanta, production ended November of 08 and we have no worries about Kierra’s debut portrayal of ‘Litha’ .Being a PK herself Kierra, brings lots of insight to the role which we are sure translated onto screen(as you can see in the trailer above 1:52 KiKi is looking very comfortable in front of the camera). We are so proud of KiKi and wish her much success and many more film roles.

After a recent film screening of Preacher’s Kid this is what industry insiders had to say:

“I love this movie! Stan Foster is born as a filmmaker. “ThePreacher’s Kid” is filmmaking at its best – well written, well directed, and the performances are top notch. It touches your heart,breaks your heart and puts it back together again. A new American classic is born.”

Robert Townsend
Director Hollywood Shuffle, The Five Heartbeats

Owner/Church Howse Music

(just a little insight- Neily was VP of Artist Development, Marketing, & Radio Promotions for Gospo Centric for years and now calling the shots for her own companies one after the same name Neily Dickerson Company and the other listed above.)

Written and directed by Stan Foster (who also wrote the 2004 screenplay ‘Women Thou Art Loosed’ from bestselling author Bishop T.D. Jakes), Preacher’s Kid is set for release October 30 and is sure to be an entertaining winner for every home movie collection.
