Janice Gaines Releases Reimagined Hymns Album 'Lead Me'
Janice Gaines, a Stellar and Dove Award-nominated recording artist, has just released her new album, 'Lead Me', a heartfelt journey through rootsy new compositions and reimagined classics - songs that became her saving grace after a near-death birthing experience and a battle with postpartum depression. "The Bible says to ‘comfort those with the same comfort we’ve received from God’," she shares. "If these songs helped me, I pray that God will use them to help someone else."
"When I went in to deliver my beautiful baby boy, there were many complications with my health and with Gabriel's health. We both almost died. The months that followed were filled with anxiety and what I now know was a long bout with postpartum depression. Feeling out of control and numb, I had to go back to where I met Jesus in the first place - through the truth of hymns.
This new album, titled Lead Me, is a collection of reimagined hymns with a couple of original songs that are near and dear to my heart. My prayer is that they’ll bring you the hope that they brought me."
In October 2015, Janice released her refreshing debut album, Greatest Life Ever (Motown Gospel). Produced by GRAMMY Award-winning hitmaker LaShawn "Big Shiz" Daniels (Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Brandy), the project debuted in the Top 10 of Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart. In addition to her music, Janice is a sought-after speaker and hosting personality, having partnered with various companies, including BET, Glade, the Stellar Awards and the Dove Awards, as a red carpet correspondent and awards show host.
