Synopsis

Amazon.com
In the wake of a prolific outpouring of song, the '90s have been good to soulful belter CeCe Winans. Further evidence of getting better with time is Alabaster Box. While not as cutting edge or musically adventurous as 1998's Everlasting Love, this latest project marks an important shift in this fine sister's stylistic and vocal development. Most evident on the decidedly classic title track, Winans forsakes a trendy dated arrangement for sophisticated piano, strings, and woodwinds. The voice, which has always been impressive, is even more so here, as a new maturity broadens and adds weight to the biggest and most well-placed sound yet. The remainder of the album, while lovely, doesn't quite rise to the stunning beauty of its central offering. "Alabaster Box" is so efficient a chariot of great strength and grace that more becomes less, a distraction from Winans's greatest gift. --Paige La Grone

This CD ministers to the committed and the casual Christian alike. Beautiful well balanced music frames a strong yet clear voice proclaiming the healing promises in God's word. Well done CeCe well done!

CeCe's soft, yet powerful voice resonates throughout the tracks.

Annointed...

"First of all Cece is not for the average listener of gospel music. She is in a class all by herself. If you want a cd that will usher you into the presence of God, this is the one. From "Fill My Cup" to "King of Kings" reprise and all points in between. I so identified with "Alabaster Box" that it moved me to tears. Her rendition of "Comforter" also recorded by Vickie Yohe is wonderful. "It Wasn't Easy" finds me more thankful for the sacrifice that was made for me at Calvary. "Blessed, Broken and Given" is incredible. A lot of people are moved by the beats. I thank CeCe for being more concerned about how and why it is that we praise HIM. Absolute awesome body of work!"
CECE IS A WONDER !

"Cece comes again with a CD that ministers to the soul.From the first song "Fill My Cup" to the last " Blessed, Broken,& Given" this CD is a blessing. My favorite track is number 2 " King of Kings". Allow yourself the pleasure buy this CD and step into the pressence of an awesome God the Cece sings about! Take it from me,a former Detroiter ( and we know about Gospel music ) you can't go wrong with this CD. Enjoy the singing, enjoy the music, enjoy the worship and enjoy the ministry of Cece Winans! GOD BLESS!"
