April 7, 2023

Following the immensely popular Seven Deadly Sins movies—Lust, Envy, Wrath and Greed—Lifetime continues the anthology with a new sin and new movie, Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story. Executive produced by T.D. Jakes, Derrick Williams and Shaun Robinson, and inspired by actual events, the movie centers on the story of a famous bakery owner and reality TV star Birdie Moore (GRAMMY-Award winner, Stephanie Mills) whose past secrets threaten the enormous success she has achieved.

Joining Mills are co-stars Thomas “Nephew Tommy” Miles as Birdie’s son, Gabe Moore; Keeya King as her granddaughter, Ella Boudreaux; and Grammy-Award winner Erica Campbell as Pastor Trey. Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story premieres on Saturday, April 8 at 8/7c.

The prior 7 Deadly Sins Lifetime original movies – Lust, Envy, Wrath and Greed – attracted close to 7 million total viewers in 2022.

Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story tells the story of reality TV star Birdie Moore (Stephanie Mills), whose carefully constructed world starts to crumble — like the baked goods that catapulted her to fame — when her family secrets are brought to light. To salvage her legacy, Birdie must let go of the pride that estranged her from her daughter. Birdie’s pride also prevents her from seeing that her son Gabe Moore (Thomas Miles) is actually a thieving opportunist and that her granddaughter Ella Boudreaux (Keeya King) is just a lost twenty-something trying to build up her life after some missteps. While pride helped drive Birdie’s success, it also made her blind to what was happening around her. Will Birdie finally be able to see and admit the truth, or face the consequences of her pride?

Pride: A Seven Deadly Sins Story is produced by Neshama Entertainment, T.D. Jakes Enterprises, DNA Media Group and RobinHood Productions in association with MarVista Entertainment. T.D. Jakes, Derrick Williams, and Shaun Robinson serve as executive producers along with Larry Grimaldi, Hannah Pillemer and Fernando Szew for MarVista Entertainment, and Arnie Zipursky and Suzanne Berger for Neshama. Pride is directed by Troy Scott from a script written by Felicia Brooker. Award-winning composer and music director, Ray Chew, is the movie’s composer.

In addition to Stephanie Mills, Thomas Miles, Keeya King, and Erica Campbell, the movie also stars Lucia Walters (Virgin River) as Shanice; and Jaime M. Callica (Ruthless) as Khalil.

The Seven Deadly Sins movie anthology is inspired by novels from author Victoria Christopher Murray, who is a consulting producer on Pride.

Nashville, TN (March 31, 2023) – GRAMMY^® Award-winning producer, songwriter, and recording artist Donald Lawrence has released a new single and music video, “In Him There Is No Sorrow,” honoring Twinkie Clark’s beloved song with a newly-recorded performance by Yolanda Adams. The chart-topping, legendary gospel maestro Lawrence has created this new single going out to gospel radio, teaming up with GRAMMY^®-winning gospel legend Adams, in celebration of the artistry of pioneering GRAMMY^®-winning gospel legend Twinkie Clark. “In Him There Is No Sorrow” marks the first single release from Donald Lawrence’s upcoming tribute album highlighting Twinkie Clark’s early solo work with reimagined covers of her songs, whose talents as part of her family’s best-selling historic gospel group The Clark Sisters – as well as her work as a solo artist – remain a trailblazing influence on gospel artists today.

In the newly-released single and video from Donald Lawrence & Co., Yolanda Adams sings a powerful, modernized version spotlighting Twinkie Clark’s incredible songwriting that’s made it a classic. Keeping the message of the original song, the “In Him There Is No Sorrow” remake is an emotional tribute praising faith and God’s abilities to provide strength and lift us up throughout our lives.

In his prolific career as a producer, songwriter, recording artist, music director and choir master, Donald Lawrence has garnered multiple awards, including GRAMMY^®, Stellar, and Dove Awards, with numerous Billboard #1 singles and albums and over 200 million career streams. An integral force in crafting the sounds of The Clark Sisters and their solo endeavors in the past few decades, Lawrence was the music director on the record-breaking acclaimed 2020 movie biopic “The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel,” which was a ratings smash hit for Lifetime and the producer of the movie’s accompanying soundtrack. He has collaborated with a diverse range of artists in gospel and R&B including Stephanie Mills, En Vogue, Mary J. Blige, BeBe Winans, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Kirk Franklin and more, and been a leader in influencing the sound and visually-stunning performances of gospel choirs, performing with his groups The Tri-City Singers, and Company.

CHART-TOPPING GRAMMY®, DOVE AND STELLAR AWARD NOMINEE, MELVIN CRISPELL III RELEASES HIS LATEST SINGLE AND LYRIC VIDEO FOR “ALRIGHT,” AVAILABLE NOW

Nashville, TN (February 17, 2023) – Chart-topping GRAMMY^®, Dove and Stellar Award nominated artist, Melvin Crispell III, has released his latest single and lyric video for “Alright.” The 2019 BET’s “Sunday Best” winner delivers this first single “Alright” for 2023 from his upcoming sophomore album, No Failure. “Alright,” sends an uplifting message of hope that there is a path to happiness despite hardship. Melvin, who has gone through the pain of loss, expresses his story of healing through the power of music and God. As Melvin is backed by a harmonious chorus, his voice of empowerment encourages listeners that everything will be alright, despite any challenges along the way.

Recorded live, “Alright” marks Melvin’s first new radio single and made its debut with an early world premiere on February 16th on iHeartRadio Gospel stations across the country. “Alright” is written by KJ Scriven (Reginald K. Scriven II), Solomon Headen, and Temeric Khalil Morrison. Fueling “Alright” with his sterling vocals and exuberant praise, Melvin’s high-energy live performance was recorded from his new album’s sold-out live recording, which took place in October 2022 in Dallas, TX.

Melvin’s upcoming second album marks his first live album recording, and follows on the 2020 release of his debut studio album, I’ve Got a Testimony, which included the #1 Gospel single “Wonderful Is Your Name,” where he created a personal rendition to the classic song written by his late father Melvin Crispell Jr. Melvin’s new hit rendition garnered GRAMMY^® and Dove Award nominations, and following his debut album, Melvin was also nominated at the 2021 Stellar Awards, for New Artist of the Year. Continuing a rich musical legacy and forging his own path, Melvin Crispell, III is the son of the late renowned Gospel composer Melvin Crispell Jr. and acclaimed Gospel singer, Tunesha Crispell. After facing the untimely passings of his father at the age of 16, and his mother when he was 18, Melvin has been able to navigate a rejuvenating path forward through his relationship with God, stepping out with his own voice, competing and winning on “Sunday Best,” and continuing to grow his ministry as a singer, songwriter, and producer on his latest album.

Next up, catch Melvin performing live on select dates, including Disneyland’s “Celebrate Soulfully” Gospel music celebration on February 18th in Anaheim, CA at Disneyland Park’s Fantasyland Theatre, on March 19th in Rochester, NY at the Jesus Christ the Chief Cornerstone Ministries, and April 15th in Newburgh, NY at One Accord Christian Church.
