Release of The Evolution II CD
Fresh off of a dynamic performance at Verizon's 2012 How Sweet the Sound national competition, the anointed collective was invited to open for gospel heavyweights Kirk Franklin, Donnie McClurkin, Marvin Sapp, and Israel Houghton on the King's Men Tour at Detroit's Fox Theatre. The choir’s mission of spreading love has brought a positive light and glory to the city of Detroit; they are aptly named Ambassadors of Chrysler's Imported From Detroit project (www.ifdproject.com). Selected of God’s divine purpose will soon be fulfilled and touch the lives of millions around the world with The Evolution II.
Produced by Grammy-winning, super producer Asaph Ward, The Evolution II is a poetically written; contemporary, urban and inspirational compilation. Top singles include “It Could Have Been Me” with Chiffon McNeal and “Be Still & Know” showcasing Chrystal Rucker, a rising gospel phenomenon. Another stand out is the powerful remake of the wildly popular Clark Sisters' “You Brought the Sunshine”.
Full of great accents, the explosive musical arrangement of “Sunshine” offers a sultry accompaniment to an amazing background. It boasts lead vocals by the legendary composer herself, Elbernita “Twinkie” Clark-Terrell. No stranger to the success of a well done remake; Larry Callahan & Selected of God didn’t take the process lightly. According to the group’s humble Founder and Director Larry Callahan, “It was definitely an honor to remake “Sunshine”, but there was a lot of weight…not only did we want to honor the original writer who blessed us with her presence on our project, but we wanted to maintain the integrity of the Clark Sisters’ work—it was a great responsibility”.
Other promising tracks include “Dwell in Me”, an upbeat, fun composition by Stephen Anderson-Day, that showcases the Selected of God's signature hip church swag. “Deliver Me” is a mid-tempo tune written by Asaph Ward and singer and songwriter Shawn McLemore with featured leads Stephen Anderson-Day and Nikki Ross from Houston. TX.
Eric Dawkins, of the widely respected Dawkins and Dawkins, joins SOG on “Forsaking All Others”. The heartfelt ballad by Adrian B. King proclaims the artists’ stance to not let anyone get in the way of honoring HIM. Anderson-Day’s “He’ll Do” promises to be a foot stomping Sunday morning experience in your car.
As impressive as the material on the project is, so is the caliber and regional variety of musicianship it features. The Evolution II is graced with some of the most seasoned musicians in the world including drummers: Chris Johnson (Los Angeles), Joshua Mayfield of the famous Mayfield Brothers and from Detroit gospel legend lineage, J Drew-Sheard a.k.a. JDS. Ethan Former (Los Angeles), Allen “Snoop” Evans (Detroit) and Aaron Mayfield (Kansas) lend the bass, with Michael Bereal (Los Angeles), and Kevin Powell (Connecticut) on keys and Timothy Mole (North Carolina) on guitar.
Most noted for their “Lose Yourself” remake that appeared in Chrysler's 2011 “Born of Fire: Imported from Detroit” Superbowl commercial which garnered an Emmy award, Larry Callahan & Selected of God's “Lose Yourself” video has been viewed over 500,000 times. This exposure led to widespread visibility and countless opportunities in music, television and other non-traditional sectors.
