/24-7PressRelease/ - Fort Washington, MD, September 19, 2008 - Mount Laurel, New Jersey has much to rave about with the recent successes of Benita Farmer & New Journey. The ground-breaking group, known for their fresh, captivating sound, has already received notable accolades. The Christian ensemble's leader, Benita Farmer, was recognized as New Jersey's Top Independent Female Vocalist in 2003 and 2004 and also in Ebony Magazine as one of the Best New Artists in Black Music. Recently, Farmer was honored when her name was placed on the first round ballot of the 2008-2009 Stellar Awards, the gospel version of the GRAMMY Awards, as Female Vocalist of the Year and Best Contemporary Group or Duo of the Year. Final nominations for the Stellar Awards will be announced in October with the awards show premiering in mid-January 2009.
The recognition is a capstone to success that Benita Farmer & New Journey's sophomore release, Come Home, has garnered. Made up of praise and worship leaders and "preachers kids", Benita Farmer & New Journey has carved out a niche with a sound that merges Contemporary Christian, gospel, rock, R&B and Latin music. Tracks like the lead single "Higher", with its CCM and pop stylings, and "Dance of Eternity", a potpourri of a variety of musical influences, easily showcase the group's diversity.
Farmer, Minister of Music at Church of the Living God in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and a native of the City of Brotherly Love, is the daughter of legendary gospel artist Barbara Ward-Farmer. Distributed by Edmondson Communications, Inc. and produced by Farmer's brother, Lawrence Farmer, III, and Anthony Bell (Jill Scott, Anthony Hamilton, Usher), Come Home has caught the attention of gospel announcers nationwide with singles in rotation on close to 250 stations.
