Ayiesha Woods poised to release Christmas album

“Here at MusiChristian.com we believe strongly in partnerships and are thrilled to partner with Gotee and Ayeisha on her latest Christmas project,” says Daniel Smallbone, CEO of MusiChristian.com and BooksChristian.com.

The nine-song track listing includes Woods’ inventive take on the classics including “Merry Christmas Baby”, “Walking in a Winter Wonderland”, “Jingle Bells”, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”, “O Holy Night”, “Joy to the World”, This Christmas”, and “ O Come All Ye Faithful”.

Producer Jamie Moore (CeCe Winans, tobyMac) comments, "Being from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and growing up with all of its music heritage, I've always wanted to do an old soul album.

“Ayiesha definitely took me to that place with her undeniable soulful and rootsy vocals. Hopefully this Christmas album will be racked alongside the other classics for years to come."

Woods’ 2006 debut Introducing Ayiesha Woods and 2008 sophomore release Love Like This have both garnered critical and mass acclaim.

The debut earned Woods a Grammy nomination for “Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album”, as well as an additional nod in the Dove Awards “New Artist of the Year” category.

Woods, a favourite on the Women of Faith touring circuit, continues to perform throughout this year and 2010 at festivals and on dates across the US.
