Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:Out Of Eden
Song:Confused
Album:More Than You Know



Out Of Eden are gospel singing sisters Lisa, Andrea & Danielle Kimmey from Nashville. They're in a strange situation because though their harmonies give away their black church upbringing, they are more popular with the Contemporary Christian Music audience because their record label, Gotee Records, is a mostly CCM label and have had some difficulty selling the group to the black gospel audience. The girls have even commented on this themselves. This has more to do with the silly heirarcy in the Christian music industry than Out Of Eden's music. Out Of Eden is a tough sell to the black gospel audience while they eat up a mediocre CCM singer like Martha Munizzi because a black gospel artist, Israel Houghton, fed her to them. It doesn't make any sense but there you have it. If Out Of Eden were on a black gospel label like Verity, this wouldn't be an issue. Eldest sister Lisa Kimmey writes, produces & sings lead on most of Out Of Eden's music. Their music is aimed at a younger audience but it's very well done with great harmonies.
