Mandisa is getting ready to release her third album What If We Were Real on April 5th. Check out the album's tracklisting below:
April 5th is fast approaching, & thus, so is the release of Mandisa's third studio album What If We Were Real. The cover art is above... but I think the (similar) cover for her first single "Stronger" is better. Also, considering she just hit her goal of losing 100 pounds, I'm surprised she isn't showing off her body a la Jennifer Hudson on the cover. Regardless, the music's what counts!
While we're on the subject of American Idol season 5-ers, I might as well throw in an update on Mandisa's forthcoming third studio album! The woman herself tweeted that the project has been titled What If We Were Real & will be released on (don't hold your breath waiting for this one...) April 5th of next year. That has to be one of the furthest-ahead releases I've ever known about, but at least we know we have something to look forward to!"Come Together Now" is the Michael W. Smith-led Haiti charity single featuring American Idol alumni Melinda Doolittle & Mandisa, among many others. It doesn't appear that Mandisa was given any solo parts, which is a shame, but Melinda was featured nicely & did a fine job.

"My Deliverer" Performance
Over the past several months since the release of her sophomore album Freedom, Mandisa has been busy doing some promotion, which can be seen by the music video & three performances above. All of this went under my radar at the time, but I thought I would take the opportunity to share these with you now. "He Is With You" is actually Mandisa's first video ever, despite being the second single off Freedom. It's a simple, but effective clip. Also, Mandisa can be seen displaying those impressive chops of hers in the performances, especially during the third one.
Today is quite an exciting day for new releases if I do say so myself. First up, we have the highly anticipated debut album In A Perfect World... from Keri Hilson. I recently gave the set, which features the singles "Knock You Down" with Kanye West & Ne-Yo, "Turnin' Me On" with Lil' Wayne, "Return The Favor" with Timbaland, & "Energy," a glowing review, so be sure to support your girl & purchase your copy of the album by clicking its cover above. Also, Mandisa's sophomore album Freedom, which I gave a positive review & features the single "My Deliverer," comes out today (click cover above to buy). Last but not least comes "Bolt," the latest fun-filled, Oscar-nominated, computer-animated movie from Disney, which you can purchase by clicking its cover above as well.
Mandisa is one of American Idol's signature belters. Since being surprisingly booted from the fifth season of the show in ninth place, she hasn't looked back, creating a successful career for herself in Christian music. Inspired by her recent 75-lb. weight loss, Freedom is the title of Mandisa's sophomore studio album. She keeps in line with the sound of her debut True Beauty by creating radio-friendly music with heart & soul. Freedom is a celebration & we're along for the ride!Simply click play on the widget above to hear Mandisa's entire sophomore album Freedom, which hits stores on March 24th! It sounds great, so definitely give it a listen.
Unsurprisingly, Mandisa has revised the cover of her forthcoming sophomore album Freedom (March 24th) to show off her new bod. She looks awesome! Check out the tracklisting for Freedom below:
On March 24th, former American Idol contestant Mandisa will release her second album Freedom, cover art for which is featured above. I like it. The album will include the first single "My Deliverer," which you can listen to HERE. It sure sounds like she's headed the right direction with this one!Little Drummer Boy
Feliz Navidad/Joy To The World
Mandisa did a little promotion for her holiday album It's Christmas just in time for Christmas earlier this week. She performed "Little Drummer Boy" & her medley of "Feliz Navidad" & "Joy To The World." It's Christmas is surprisingly good & out now. Note: The "Little Drummer Boy" performance unfortunately cuts off at the end.
Elliott Yamin has set October 7th as the release date for his full-length Christmas album My Kind Of Holiday. It will include the material featured on his EP Sounds Of The Season: The Elliott Yamin Holiday Collection that was sold exclusively at Target last year as well as new songs. My Kind Of Holiday, however, will be available everywhere. [Pre-order HERE]
Also releasing an extended version of their previous holiday material is Mandisa. Her Christmas album It's Christmas will be released on October 14th & will feature both new material as well as the songs that were on her EP Christmas Joy from last year. [Pre-order HERE] Is it really already time to worry about this stuff?
