But she eventually became one of the nation's top background singers as a secular artist, heavily in demand due to her stylistic flexibility and overall exemplary technique. After working with such performers as Boyz II Men and R. Kelly, she became a prominent part of Prince's ensemble, touring and recording with him throughout 2002. But while she was becoming quite successful doing RB, soul and funk, those genres weren't really what Niyoki enjoyed. She's now returned to her true love, writing and performing inspirational material with a modern sensibility and sound. She'll be performing numbers from her new Contemporary Christian CD My Everything (D2G) tonight during her CD release party at Rocketown. The disc will be formally released nationwide Tuesday. I've been singing since the age of 6, and have been blessed by God with the gift of music, Niyoki said. But now I'm really happy about doing songs that can uplift and inspire people, particularly young people. What I'm doing is 100 percent a ministry, because all the songs now are a reflection of my experience, and my desire to both praise God and also reach audiences on his behalf. My Everything also blends current and vintage elements in its selections. The title track reflects a jazz tinge in its arrangement, while Yes Lord is a soaring a cappella number that showcases her range and vocal authority, and Dance and Praise augments her fierce lead with a striking, groove-centered foundation. However, she also includes the traditional number Amazing Grace and the more straightforward Praise Time. I love hymns and spirituals, but you can't expect young people who've grown up hearing other things on the radio to be immediately attracted by the older styles, Niyoki said. My belief is that the most important thing in gospel music is the message. I don't attack or exclude a particular style just because it's not a traditional thing. There's a whole generation out there that doesn't know anything about classic gospel music, but they can still be reached with a contemporary sound that still can have a positive, optimistic message. With gospel and Contemporary Christian music among the few genres enjoying improved sales results in 2006, Niyoki admitted there's a lot more promotion, exposure and opportunity for gospel acts than she ever anticipated. But to be truthful, I never really thought about singing gospel in terms of profit or dollars, Niyoki said. It was always about the music and expressing my love of God in song. It's been rewarding to see the music's growth and popularity, but that's just a bonus. - NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org - Unsubscribe?

Maybe he is finding that in Tamar. Whether or not she produces anything worth listening to after spending so much time in the studio remains to be seen.

The Musicology artist's wife of five years, Manuela Testolini Nelson, filed for divorce on May 24, according to court documents obtained Wednesday by the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Testolini Nelson, 29, used to work for Paisley Park Studios, the recording and production complex Prince opened near Minneapolis in 1987. The duo tied the knot in 2001 in a small, super-secret Jehovah's Witness ceremony in Hawaii, with the bride taking her husband's name. For those of you who may have forgotten that the 48-year-old Prince has a last name, he was born Prince Robert Nelson. While her future ex has been busy releasing a number-one album, performing on Saturday Night Live and American Idol, picking up BET and Webby awards and making cryptic comments, Testolini Nelson runs Gamillah Inc., which houses a production company, a line of designer candles and other businesses. This was Prince's second marriage. His first, to backup singer- dancer Mayte Garcia, was annulled in 1998 after two years, with Prince stating that the best way to demonstrate [that they're joined for life] is to do away with the legal bonds that people demand. Speaking of legal demands, Britain's HM Publishing Holdings filed a trademark lawsuit against Prince's NPG Music Club (named after the New Power Generation) Website on July 3, protesting its use of the NPG moniker because it coincides with the company's own Nature Publishing Group, or NPG. Prince's attorney, David Schelzel, has said that his client's right to use the name is not in jeopardy and that the decision to shut down NPGMusicClub.com had nothing to do with the lawsuit. - NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org - Unsubscribe?

Because an individual dislikes 1 or more tracks doesn't make those tracks (or the album) crap, half crap, or any other adjective of disapproval. It simply means that this individual has not been moved by those tracks. I personally love 3121's first track and a couple others that some people think won't interest most.
