| With only one album, celebrated singer/songwriter Ayiesha Woods accomplished more than most artists achieve in a lifetime. Its title was unassuming and self-explanatory, but Introducing Ayiesha Woods did more than merely introduce her: it established her as one of the most precocious and promising new artists in Christian and gospel music. A GRAMMY nomination, a Dove Award nod for New Artist of the Year, appearances in a number of high-profile tours, and universal acclaim were some of the highlights of Woods' initial time in the limelight. It's a winning streak that is bound to continue with Love Like This, her second Gotee Records release. "I had high expectations, but God exceeded them," Woods says of her success to date. "It was an amazing response all across the board from believers, from nonbelievers, from people that are lovers from all kinds of music." Indeed, the impressive cross-section of listeners who latched on to her music the first time around is largely representative of the sound and spirit of Love Like This, an album that further asserts Woods as an artist that can't be easily categorized. Albums available from Ayiesha Woods on Gotee Records: Introducing Ayiesha Woods (2006) and Love Like This (2008) |
