Gospel Group Clarkwise Releases New Single “Depending on You” feat. Twinkie Clark | LISTEN!
Twinkie Clark Joins Legendary Jazz Icon Baabe Irving, Clarkwise and MORE For Depending on You
Clarkwise, a contemporary Gospel/Christian group consisting of four sisters, Sandra, LaTanya, Rochell and Timbla Clark grew up in church enjoying the sounds of the church choir. They developed their tight harmony from years of singing in support of their father who is their Pastor. Life ensued, and the girls grew up and got married, but the power of the music remained. This remarkable group has teamed up with some industry veterans to produce a project with huge potential.
Depending On You is the new single from Clarkwise’s debut CD titled Memories Treasure & Song. It is an up-tempo blend of contemporary gospel and jazz and features the lead vocals of Grammy and Dove Award-winning songwriter and producer, the Queen of the Hammond B3, Twinkie Clark.
Paul E Irving, a composer for the Edwin Hawkins Music & Arts Seminar Mass Choir, penned the song as a reassurance that we serve a God on whom we can Depend! The producer for the song is Robert (Baabe) Irving III, internationally known for his keyboard playing and producing for jazz legend Miles Davis. The primary jazz musicians include Robert Irving III on piano and keys, Charles Heath on drums and Michael Manson on bass. The full version of the song includes a reprise featuring an awesome guitar solo by Phil Upchurch, Jr. Add to the mix The Sonic Portraits orchestra and a horn section featuring members of Earth Wind & Fire’s Phoenix Horns and the results are simply astounding!
Serving as co-producer for the song is Denver A. Wright who is most recognized for his major hit with The Collective titled “If You’re Gonna Worry, Don’t Pray” and featured the vocals of Tony Terry.
Edwin Hawkins served as the Associate Producer for this project, and it is one of the last projects on which he produced prior to his passing. Depending On You will be included on Clarkwise’s debut CD titled Memories Treasure & Song.
Depending On You is available now on all digital outlets and streaming platforms.
