G.I.’s sophomore album The Next Dimension hits retail and online outlets today on BGA Entertainment/Infinity/Central South Distribution.
Recent highlights for the group include embarking on their 15 city promotional tour, appearing on Essence.com as one of the Top 15 Gospel Artists to watch, multiple performances during the 2011 A.I.M. Convention and solidifying an upcoming taping for BET’s Bobby Jones Gospel. This Thursday, July 21 at 8pEST the group will host a UStream chat to celebrate the release with their supporters.
The Next Dimension is the follow-up to the groups 2009 debut album God’s Image which yielded the popular single “Get Up,” along with a #1 video on Gospel Music Channel. Presenting a more diverse offering for both Gospel and CCM fans alike, the music on The Next Dimension is a powerful array of songs that shares messages of praise, love and hope as well as demonstrating the group’s various talents as vocalists, musicians and songwriters.
G.I.’s lead single “Forever We Will Worship” continues a steady climb on the Billboard Gospel Song chart following the momentum given by Radio One’s nationally syndicated host Corey ‘Coco Brother’ Condrey’s debut of the song as ‘Quick Pick of the Week.’
Other stand out songs on the album include “You Should Already Know,” “All I Need” and “The Greatest.” The latter was written by G.I. and produced by Michael ‘Big Mike’ Clemons (Mary J. Blige, SWV, Aaron Hall, Tyrese, Ruff Ends, DJ Rogers, Mario, Out of Eden) who carries an extensive resume both as a drummer and producer.
The group recently shot a music video for “Lead Us to Truth,” a song that discusses the urgency for believers to remain suited up in the armor of God to discern truth versus deception. The video will debut in upcoming weeks on BET, GMC, and other music video outlets.
The Next Dimension is available at retailers including WalMart, Mardel’s and via digital outlets such as iTunes nationwide today.
ABOUT G.I.
G.I. has experienced notable career highlights including European tours and performances on major television networks. But for the group who strives to be consistent role models and even derived their name from Genesis 1:26-27, their concern remains not on accolades but rather is rooted in spreading the word of Jesus Christ as evident in the message of their music and in their works, such as the BGA Music & Arts Academy which they own and operate in their hometown of Richmond, VA.
