ATLANTA, GA) – October 4, 2024 – Today, DARE Records, announces the 30th anniversary celebratory re-imagined single release of, “Lovely Day,” from groundbreaking, pioneering, GRAMMY® nominated, and GMA Dove Award-winning Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) trio, OUT OF EDEN (sisters Lisa Nicole, Andrea Baca, and Danielle Torrez). “Lovely Day 3.0” is an updated musical take on the group’s 90’s debut single featuring the ladies signature sound over afrobeats and is available now, across all streaming platforms.
The new release “Lovely Day 3.0,” takes the ladies – and their fans – full circle as they refresh their debut single. Now atop AfroBeat rhythms and percussion-forward instrumentation, their new vocals prominently display their growth, evolution, confidence, and conviction as grown women who know a thing or two about speaking positivity over their day, and their lives. “Lovely Day” picks right up where the group left off without skipping a beat.
Michael “Mooki” Taylor, DARE Records, Founder, shares, “I’ve known these ladies for over 30 years. I’ve written with and produced them; having them on DARE is a long-time coming and great fit. We are very excited about their upcoming release.”
Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, the Kimmey sisters first started performing as background singers for their mom, a classical pianist and former Director of the Fisk Jubilee Singers. As the first act signed to Gotee Records, the trio released their debut album, 1994’s Lovin’ the Day, produced the hit lead single “Lovely Day,” which was a fresh and contemporary nod to Bill Withers’ classic of the same name. The success of the song set the stage for their sophomore release, More Than You Know, released in 1996, which was even more successful and solidified the group’s place in the Christian music industry. Subsequent albums such as No Turning Back (1999), This Is Your Life (2002) and Love, Peace, & Happiness (2004) brought with them numerous awards and accolades, including GMA Dove Award wins for Best Urban Album (This Is Your Life), Urban Song of the Year (“Meditate”), and nominations for Urban Gospel Album of the Year (Love, Peace, & Happiness) and Urban Gospel Song of the Year (“Soldiers”). An organic creative pivot found the group reimagining classic songs of the church on their aptly titled 2005 album Hymns, which garnered a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album in 2006.
