Album Notes

Yolanda Shá Simpson

Long awaited, greatly anticipated

Come experience RAW-Radical Anointed Worship: a worship experience according to Shá Simpson...

Yolanda Simpson, better know as Shá, has a unique anointing that rests on her life. The Lord has gifted Shá with the exceptional ability to lead thousands into a life-changing worship experience like none other. Though Shá has a very diversified and cutting-edge style, she flows under a strong, prophetic anointing as well. Shá's love and passion for God is exemplified not only in her lifestyle, but it is obvious that Judah has become her sanctuary. Her ministry of deliverance through song allows you to experience the freedom and liberty that God has promised to His people. Her ultimate desire is that everyone she reaches will have a face-to-face encounter with God.

RAW-Radical Anointed Worship-aptly describes Shá. Not one to be put in a box, she believes in coming to Christ "just as you are." For her, it is all about Him. This radical spirit of boldness is evident in every worship experience.

Shá recently recorded her first solo project, entitled "Ordinary Servant," at Total Grace Christian Center in Atlanta. This project is best described as praise and worship at its pinnacle. Each song has been skillfully selected to bring about repentance, deliverance and change, but most of all, an intimate encounter with Christ. The listener is gently ushered into the presence of God.

Shá was born and raised in Russellville, KY. She later moved to Atlanta and attended Clark Atlanta University majoring in Music Education. Currently, she is a member of Total Grace Christian Center World Headquarters under the pastorate of Apostle Johnathan Alvarado and Toni Alvarado. She serves as the Chief Worship Leader and Director of the Worship Chorale and Praise Team.

From the backdrop to the forefront, Shá has been preparing for such a time as this. She has worked with gospel heavyweights such as: Byron Cage, Donald Lawrence, Karen Clark-Sheard, Yolanda Adams, Darwin Hobbs, Richard Smallwood, Ted and Sheri, Angella Christi, Babbie Mason, Ann Nesby, Candi Staton and Israel Houghton and New Breed, just to name a few. She is featured on Israel and New Breed's latest CD, "Live from Another Level," singing "Here I am to Worship."

Shá is married to Reggie Simpson and is the mother of two sons, Devin and Donovan, and one daughter, Victoria. Together, they are enjoying the benefits of raising their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

This extraordinary vocalist and uniquely gifted woman of God not only ministers out of her gifting, but out of her own personal struggles and sufferings that God has brought her through. Her ability to flow in the spirit becomes the vehicle by which she gets a Rhema word from the Father and is able to minister directly to the Body. Make no mistake about it, Shá's passion, fire and desire for God is not easily quenched. She is determined and further provoked by the Holy Ghost to lead the multitudes to a place where they can experience the wonderful works of God.
