Through their music I have felt as if the beautiful sounds of Mary Mary where coming directly from my own voice and when I read their short interview with Artistdirect.com, I was happily amazed to find out why. Everyone has a testimony and our experiences allow our testimonies to hold value for us. Tina & Ericka Campbell expressed how the song "I Worship You" on their latest album The Sounds, was able to hold as much power as it does for them because of their own experiences.
"Tina and I know where we come from. Even though we're singing gospel music, we don’t try to be perfect. We know that we've made some pretty bad mistakes and we've done some pretty ugly things in our lives. I think that’s why we're so confident when we talk about the ability to transform your life from inside out. When we think about all that we are—all the negative things that have taken place in our live—and who we are now, we feel so grateful. I just have to thank God. Changing the way you think is the biggest transformation. You're not negative, not fearful and you’re not terrified of life and taking chances. You don't look at a problem as a sign that you’re not doing something right. A problem is just a problem, and you're going to make it through and be stronger because of it. "I Worship You" is about that. It's a really emotional song for my sister and I, because we can’t help but look back"
The sisters are currently working on their next album which is due out this fall.
