Cynthia Jones will be a featured artist at Unity in the Community this Saturday. Listen to more about Cynthia as I talk with her.
Grammy and three-time Stellar nominated singer/songwriter CYNTHIA JONES remains true to her soulful roots and uncompromising lyricism with the release of her latest 18 track masterpiece, JOURNEY OF SOUL (Kingdom Records).
CYNTHIA is a powerful anointed neo soul gospel artist. She takes full command of her audience. She has undeniably broken through barriers as the missing link between the neo soul movement and the gospel realm, reaching hearts and souls of listeners from all walks of life through her style of music.
From the beginning the Raleigh, North Carolina native vowed to God that she would never disguise the Lord’s name, even after being told if she would take out words such as God and Jesus, and exchange them for words like you, him and he so people wouldn’t recognize who she was singing about to be more successful and get more airplay on radio.
CYNTHIA feels it would be a disservice as a born again believer to purposely leave out the name of Christ “Where is the message that is suppose to be in the music, she ask?” Therefore she is thankful for Gospel as well as the, Urban Soul, & Jazz stations that love, and support and play her music without changing her lyrics.
To date Cynthia has won a divers legion of fans through her soulful rhythms and bold lyricism, she has received a Grammy Nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album, three Stellar Award Nominations in categories of Female Vocalist of the Year, Contemporary Female Vocalist of the Year, and Contemporary CD of the Year, and she scored two Prestige Awards for Female Vocalist of the year and Jazz Artist of the Year.
CYNTHIA JONES continues to astound wherever she goes. People that hear her for the first time are amazed and grateful for finding her and her style of music with strong lyrical gospel content. According to her fans, she reminds them of a gospel Jill Scott, India Arie or Erykah Badu.
Many souls from all walks of life, as well as those who have turned away from God and the church, have embraced gospel music again through CYNTHIA’S style of music, and now with the release of JOURNEY OF SOUL not only does she have her neo soul fan base, she also has gained support from the Urban Soul, Smooth jazz and steppin community. Yes, Ms Jones can step a little bit.
As new doors and avenues continue open for CYNTHIA, she will continue to be true to her calling and seize every opportunity in and outside the church walls to spread the good news.
