Multi-talented singer, songwriter, and producer Cecil Thornton has teamed up with producers Justin Gilbert and Anthony Parrish of GPAC, LLC with his long-awaited new EP “Continuation,” that will be available May 7, 2021.
With his celebrated debut project in 2006 “Live Simplicity” Cecil became a trendsetter whose musical creativity, lyrical connectivity, and vocal uniqueness catapulted his music in a genre unparalleled to others. Merging different elements such as contemporary jazz and neo soul into Gospel creating a refreshing and unmistakable sound. Cecil’s unique tenor and commanding skill is always the “bow on top” of all the music he creates. In 2014, Cecil recorded sophomore EP “Variation” with fan favorite “No Ordinary Love.” A Houston native by the way of Atlanta, Georgia. Cecil is currently a resident of Washington, DC where he is a Pre-K educator.
Cecil’s latest and 3rd musical works entitled “Continuation” is an EP that pays homage to the extraordinary love of God with its unconventional approach to modern gospel. Cecil says “Continuation” is a testament to where God has brought him. God has proved his promises to be true in his life and this EP displays that exquisitely with the first single “Forever Grateful” which takes him back to his early Gospel roots. His second single “Overcomer” is a tour de force where Cecil paints a vivid picture of the racial climate we face today. Cecil encourages us to stay strong in the midst of uncertainty. Cecil says “You can see the evolution of my music lyrically, creatively and even in the experiences.” “God has elevated me in a number of ways since my last works.” “Things promised to me as a child have started to manifest and this EP is my offering and my expression of gratitude to God for being a man of his word.”
You can PRE-ORDER “Continuation” on April 7th and it will be released on all digital music outlets May 7th. The EP will contain 7 new tracks along with a few surprise guest vocalist. Two tracks will be available for instant download during PRE-ORDER.
