“Hold On”
Monica Lisa Stevenson
From the CD Live in Atlanta (forthcoming in fall 2011)

Traditional gospel singer Monica Lisa Stevenson channels the fiery energy of fellow Alabaman Dorothy Love Coates on “Hold On,” a churchy hand-clapper on which MLS’s background choir moves the beat like a Chicago church choir: with the force of a freight train without brakes.
There’s no way to sit still during this lively track, which anticipates a strong new full-length release from the artist, who has garnered Stellar Award nominations and accolades from every corner of the gospel music industry.
The CD is due out this fall but the single is available now at Monica’s website, noted above.
