| Currently, Washington continues to energetically pour into God’s people. In addition to touring with Gospel legends, BeBe & CeCe Winans, functioning as the Director of Praise & Worship at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Nashville and performing as a solo artist, Benita, a true Proverb 31 woman, is proud wife to Delvin and mother to Kiersten and Chelsea. Benita Washington’s highly-anticipated third album, “The Word Remains (Shanachie Entertainment)” is set to release Tuesday, June 29, 2010. The album aims to embody Benita’s current reverence, style, persona, outlook, praise, adoration and maturity. Even more than before, Benita Washington is a gospel powerhouse whose unique gift has a diverse elegance to it. Her forthcoming album’ s music ranges from electric R&B/ Soul, Nu Jazz, contemporary Christian, modern praise & worship, to songs with a traditional gospel feel. Washington is something of a novelty in the way she mixes pop sensibility with gospel fervor, exhortation, and a number of stylistic diversions in between them. |
| A true labor of love, “The Word Remains” will both, bless and inspire its listener. Anointed and destined for ministry, Benita Washington is a psalmist for such a time as this. Benita believes God’s plan for her life and looks to the future with a calm assurance that God will do everything He promised; His word remains!
