Sister Trio VIRTUE Cracks Billboard’s Top 20 With “You Are” Single
Written and produced by acclaimed newcomers Taylor Hill and Nicole DeAllie, “You Are,” found aboard TESTIMONY: RELOADED (available at Walmart, iTunes, Googleplay, and Amazon) radiates as a standout track for the group’s signature lush harmonies, supple, distinctive tones, and empowering message. Proving the sister act is not only potent as ever with their delivery despite their hiatus, but also that fans have been long awaiting new music from them.
Virtue performs alongside multiple Grammy-award winning gospel legend Bebe Winans at the “Centric Celebrates Selma Concert” set to air on BET and Centric TV Networks this Sunday, March 15th at 10:30a EST/9:30a CST and will re-air again at 10:30pm EST/9:30pm CST the same day. The group was on hand alongside President Obama, Kirk Franklin, Harry Belafonte, and more to commemorate the 50th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday” – the historic civil rights march on Selma.
The appearance joins a slew of high profile media outings performed by the ladies recently including an in-depth sit down on Roland Martin’s “News One Now” (TV ONE) on March 3rd and many more. There, the group discussed a number of topics including their hiatus and hints about their sixth full-length studio album due later this year. As anticipation grows across the board for its release, critics too have their eyes on the project as evidenced by Essence.com recently naming them one of its “16 Gospel Artists to Watch Closely in 2015”.
