NEWS: Musical Prodigy Debuts At Nuber One On Billboards's Top Gospel Chart   PDF  Print  E-mail 
New York, NY (May 26, 2004) -  Cutting edge singer/performer TONEX entered at #1 this week on the Billboard Top 40 Gospel chart and is #5 on the Contemporary Christian Chart. The smash album which features the hit song “Make Me Over,” also appeared on Billboard’s Top 200 at #89 and #30 on the Top R&B Chart.

Heralded as his best work to date, “Out The Box,” is Tonex’s 3rd and most ambitious project ever.  The 2-CD set is an amazing collection that encapsulates Tonex’s talent of bringing different genres of music under a Gospel umbrella.  Primarily recorded live in his hometown of San Diego, CA “Out The Box,” includes collaborations with the multitalented Kirk Franklin and the legendary Sheila E and has received critical acclaim. Making an immediate impact on TV and radio with songs like “Todos Juntos” (with Sheila E.); “Since Jesus Came” (with Kirk) and his first single, “Make Me Over,” the beautiful & haunting ballad that moved gospel and mainstream audiences alike when he stole the show on BET’s Celebration of Gospel TV special.

Here’s what the media has to say –
 “… a powerful 2-disc set that due to its unrelenting innovation and imagination could legitimately be called the ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,’ of gospel.”  
- Billboard Magazine, May 29, 2004

“There’s a reason why Tonex is one of the brightest lights in contemporary Gospel today … and the proof is here, straight ‘Out The Box.’”
- Barnes & Noble.com, May 19, 2004 

“Tonex shows that he continues to grow musically and spiritually, making ‘Out The Box’ one of the best albums to come out in a long while.”
- Gospel Flava.com, May 25, 2004

Fans can also catch Tonex on a landmark appearance on the hit TV mainstay “SOUL TRAIN” on Saturday, May 29, 2004 as well as watch a full hour with him on BET’s “Lift Every Voice”

“OUT THE BOX” is available now in-stores everywhere!
