MINNEAPOLIS, MN, Aug 17 (MARKET WIRE) --
The Grammy award-winning group Sounds of Blackness is back and stronger
than ever with "The 3rd Gift: Story, Song & Spirit," set for release Aug.
25, 2009.

This life-changing CD has deeply profound music for the entire world with
messages of peace, love and hope for all -- even more poignant during
these troubled times. "The 3rd Gift" features the amazing inspirational
musical spectrum Sounds of Blackness has become known for: Gospel, R&B,
Jazz, Spirituals, WorldBeat and more.

"The 3rd Gift" features incredible arrangements of classics, including
Marvin Gaye's "God Is Love," Billie Holiday's "God Bless The Child" and an
updated version of their very own classic "Optimistic." Sounds of
Blackness also has several brand new tracks on "The 3rd Gift," such as
"Everything's Gonna Be Alright," "The Path of Healing" and "Audacity of
Hope (We Are One)," which is inspired by two of Sounds of Blackness'
self-proclaimed fans, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle
Obama. There's no doubt that "The 3rd Gift" is destined to become a
classic!
