Following a long hiatus, award winning UK gospel artist Cie is back with a new look and new EP 'My Prayer'.
This four-track offering showcases the return of one of the UK's most popular and exciting female vocalists who never fails to set the stage alight when she performs. 'My Prayer' also signals the fact that Britain's female gospel vocalists are stepping up to the plate, and not allowing their urban gospel counterparts to leave them behind.
Released on Goldmind Records and produced by Dennis Jarrett, 'My Prayer' is a memorable musical offering.
The title track, 'My Prayer' is a heartfelt gospel number where Cie gives thanks to God and gives her four-octave voice for HIS glory. 'He's Coming Back' is a retro up tempo gospel and celebrates Christ's return, whilst 'They Call Him Jesus' has a Latin American feel, coupled with a catchy hook line. 'He Did It', is a wholehearted gospel track reminding listeners of God's faithfulness to His children. This EP leaves people in no doubt that Cie is one of the UK's most gifted and most inspiring gospel vocalists.
Cie shares, "It's good to be back with some new songs, which I hope people will enjoy. These are heartfelt songs that I wrote whilst out of the spotlight recovering from debilitating illnesses. Thank God I'm back and my experience has given me a lot to sing about and give God thanks for."
My Prayer serves as a prelude to Cie's debut album that will be out at the end of the year so enjoy this offering from one of Birmingham's finest.

Cie's was born to sing. The daughter of Pentecostal Christians, Cie was a budding soloist by the time she was three and singing in the choir of the Ladyroad Church of God of Prophecy in Birmingham at just eight years old.

In 2000 Cie co-wrote the single 'Is It Any Wonder' which was featured on the debut album of Claire Johnson, one of South Africa's most iconic female recording artistes. The album reached the no 10 spot in the South African top 40 and stayed there for two years.
In 2002 Cie introduced gospel music into her club act, which went down a storm and in doing so became the only UK artist to perform a pure gospel set on the club scene. Cie is also the only UK gospel artist to perform gospel only sets in the Gay Club scene! And all whilst performing in those amazing heels and sparkling outfits of course.
With a heart for the community Cie's participated in united efforts to raise money for the victims of natural tragedies. In 2004 she was a featured vocalist on the charity single 'One Voice', which raised money for victims of the 2003 tsunami in 2010 sang on the single 'Somebody Please'. The proceeds were donated to charities that helped the victims of the Haitian earthquake. Both songs were recorded at the world wide renowned Abbey Road Studios.
Cie's faith in God undergirds everything that she does, including the desire to help others. In 2006 she launched her charity The Woman To Woman Foundation, which seeks to empower women and help them overcome the various issues they encounter in life including domestic violence, family problems, health and youth.
She also supports worthwhile causes, including youth event Midnight Oil, cancer charities and Mission outreaches in African projects. Cie also has a heart for prison inmates and regularly visits female prisons to perform and remind them that they are valuable and that it's never too late to succeed in life.
Cie plans to release her debut album later this year. In the interim enjoy 'My Prayer' which provides a welcome introduction to the music and talent of this inspiring UK artist.
'My Prayer' serves as a prelude to Cie's debut album which will be out at the end of the year so enjoy this offering from one of Birmingham's finest.
