Songstress Yunek Releases New Project, “DETOUR”
Houston’s Unique Songstress YUNEK Is Back!
Bold New Sound, Striking New Style and Profound New CD – DETOUR
Houston, TX — Yunçk (pronounced unique) is more than just a name for the Houston based songstress known for her soft yet soulful tone. Still buzzing from the success of her debut album EXODUS Three:Seventeen which included the hit single, ‘Got Fruit’, Jessica Joseph, aka Yunçk is determined and focused, has a new invigorating sound, a new glamorous style and a refreshed zeal for ministry!
After a brief hiatus from the mainstream gospel scene, Yunçk resurfaces with a strong message of hope, faith, and change with her sophomore album, DETOUR releasing spring 2011. The time between albums has been a time of perfecting her gift and gaining confidence to step outside of her comfort zone vocally, articulating more profound lyrics and diversely expanding her musicality. “I did many things differently with this project including working with different producers and writers,” says Yunek. “I have a positive outlook more so than before because I’m confident of the direction God has taken this necessary change.”
DETOUR is a poignant collection of messages scripted to melody that Yunçk delivers with strength and depth. Her new single ‘Will Not Rest’ delivers that encouragement. “This heartfelt ballad speaks about the unyielding goal of getting back to that initial place of comfort in God’s presence. This song is a cry out for restoration and oneness with the Father,” explains Yunçk. “It’s about racing back to the place where you first felt His love.”
Yunçk not only has the anointing in music, but has a calling to truly minister to the hearts of people. Yunçk holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Work. Coupling her education with a passion to minister to young people, she devotes time as Youth and College Ministry Mentor at her home church working with underprivileged youth, battered women, at-risk teens and young adults.
Yunçk’s music ministry exemplifies an inimitable blend of passion and inspiration through her writing, singing, and producing. I am destined to do this,” Yunçk says. “This is a gift God has given me and it is my purpose to build this ministry to what God wants it to be,” explains Yunek. “He did not give it to any other female Christian artist. No one can live this out but me.” And as only a true woman of faith could do, Yunçk has answered the call and refuses to look back because she is Anointed and Unique.
A Unique Experience: “I want listeners to be Restored, Renewed and Revived after listening to DETOUR. I want the listener to feel restless and ready to fight for what God has for them. My purpose is to empower, encourage, enlighten, edify and entertain anyone who will listen.”
