It's an extremely diverse grouping of songs, featuring Winans' throaty alto in high-energy dance-pop tracks, a soaring ballad or two, R&B slow jams, mass-choir songs, praise and worship choruses, hip-hop, quartet, smooth jazz, and calypso. The double-disc set combines studio cuts with live tracks recorded at Chicago's House of Hope in May 2006. Several songs deal with overcoming struggles, likely based on Winans' challenges with health, divorce, and the music industry. Winans brings that openness to Woman to Woman: Songs of Life, her follow-up to 2003's Bringing It All Together. The combination seemed utterly natural-over her 20-plus years in the industry, Winans has been known for her warmth and wit, Motor City fashion flair and down-home honesty.
I once saw Vickie Winans behind the scenes at the Stellar Awards, flashing her megawatt smile and wearing an elegant ball gown with little black house slippers. Sounds like … an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary gospel music for fans of Helen Baylor or Anita Baker.Īt a glance … impressive for its magnitude alone, Woman to Woman showcases Winans' stylistic diversity and ability to choose songs that resonate with listeners.
