Featuring Kierra “Kiki” Sheard, “God In Me,” perhaps the first gospel record to deploy an auto-tune, continues Mary Mary’s visionary blending of urban, hip-hop, soul, funk and pop elements with the power and conviction of their Christian message.
The Grammy Award winning duo Mary Mary holds both the nation’s #1 Gospel Song and #1 Gospel Album positions this week as “God In Me,” the latest smash single from the group’s chart-topping The Sound, rockets from #6 to #1 on the Billboard Gospel Songs chart. The Sound has occupied the #1 slot on the Billboard Gospel Album chart for more than six months since its release in October 2008 and has been #1 for 15 consecutive weeks beginning April 19. The Sound has also spent four weeks at #1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart.
