I have been a fan of Mandisa's voice ever since she was a contestant on American Idol season 5, I especially loved when she sang Mary Mary's Shackles. It has been 4 years now since she released "Overcomer" that won her a grammy.
Mandisa wrote her song “Overcomer” in 2013 to encourage her close friend Kisha, who was battling breast cancer. Mandisa really believed and prayed that God was going to heal her, but when Kisha went to be with Jesus in 2014, Mandisa’s foundation was shaken in a way she never expected. She fell into a deep pit of depression for close to 3 years, shutting out her friends, family and the rest of the world. Mandisa believes if she had kept going down that road she was on, she would not be here today… but God stepped in and lifted her out of that pit by using her close friends to communicate their love for her and God’s love for her. This album is Mandisa’s way of letting her fans into her story – it’s called 'Out Of The Dark' because that is exactly where God lifted her out of!
You can watch her talk openly about this on Good Morning America last week here: http://abcnews.go.com/GM A/video/mandisa-opens-overcomi ng-depression-47020463
In this new CD titled "Out of the Dark", She takes us through what she went through and how her friends and family were her spiritual rock that did not let her stay down and lost.
This cd is full of encouragement, inspiration and hope and it really lets us into Mandisas life and the struggles she faced and how she overcame them and how we too can overcome, bounce back and be that come back kid by standing on the word of God and surrounding ourselves with positive people.
The CD contains 15 tracks with three bonus ones.
