Donald Lawrence has unveiled his latest full-length album, “Donald Lawrence Presents Power: A Tribute to Twinkie Clark.” The celebrated GRAMMY-winning producer, recording artist, songwriter, and music director pays homage to the early solo work of the legendary Twinkie Clark through this 8-track reimagined project. Lawrence takes a bold creative approach, infusing new life into Twinkie Clark’s timeless songs from her iconic 1981 album, “Power.”
Lawrence pays homage to the enduring legacy of Twinkie Clark’s songwriting and her continued influence on contemporary gospel music. This heartfelt tribute includes a soulful and impactful rendition of the title track, “Power,” featuring the groundbreaking gospel ensemble The Clark Sisters and Mr. Talkbox. This reinterpretation carries a profound message of faith, empowerment, and the Holy Spirit’s significance.
This collaborative effort bridges the gap between different generations of gospel music, as each artist, alongside Lawrence, offers their own fresh interpretations of Twinkie Clark’s timeless songs. This initiative ensures that her music continues to resonate with the next generation of gospel artists and fans worldwide.
This musical celebration features an impressive lineup of artists, including The Clark Sisters, Kierra Sheard, Yolanda Adams, Sir The Baptist, PJ Morton, J Moss, and more, joining forces with the Clark family’s iconic voices. The album’s two lead singles, “In Him There Is No Sorrow” (featuring Yolanda Adams) and “Fix Me Jesus” (featuring Sir The Baptist, Jason Ferdinand & The Jason Ferdinand Singers), set the stage for this powerful tribute. Some other notable tracks include “My Soul Loves Jesus” featuring Shirley Murdock, Kierra Sheard, Jekalyn Carr, and Kelontae Gavin, as well as “Praise The Lord” featuring PJ Morton, among others.
Accompanying the release of the album is a lyric video for the track “Awake O’ Zion” (featuring J Moss & Daniel Weatherspoon), which premiered on YouTube, adding to the excitement surrounding this remarkable project.
