Clucky says, "We've got more EGGs! No Yolk!"
Gina
LOS ANGELES - After two successful independent releases "To Find True Love" (1987) and "Heart, Sacrifice and Desire" (1990), Gina Foglio became a part of the N*Soul Records family. This youthful girl who had been singing at school and church since the age of six quickly became known as "The Voice" of " Nitro Praise", a series of albums featuring up-tempo, contemporary reworkings of well-known praise and worship songs. Gina was featured on the hit single "More Precious Than Silver" from "Nitro Praise 1" which charted in Billboard's Top 50 for 26 weeks, followed by "Nitro Praise 2" which also leapt quickly into the Billboard charts.
Gina's 1995 debut album "Eternity" displays a vibrant young woman with a powerful voice. This initial solo effort for N*Soul offers danceable pop music with a difference: lyrics that counter talk about sex and drugs and encourage the youth of today to live for tomorrow. "I want to give young people a message that offers hope," explains Gina.
"Eternity" is an infectious hybrid of pop, dance, and R&B. Her first outing presents styles ranging from soulful ballads like "Tell 'Em" to her signature dance tunes like the contagious groove of "Way That You Love Me" to the funky ode-to-Jesus, "Simple Little Love Song". There is the irresistible pop feel of the hot singles "Everybody" and title track "Eternity", plus an artful remake of Kool & The Gang's 80's party anthem "Celebration". Through this album, Gina encourages those young in body and heart to celebrate their hope of eternity. The 1997 release of "It's All About Love" presents to the world of Christian music, a refreshing and edgy sound. Armed with a voice stronger and even more developed than before, Gina delivers soulful sounds without abandoning her strong following with fans of Christian dance music. As always, each song carries a message of how powerful the love of Jesus Christ can be and encourages the listener to embrace and get to know Jesus on a personal level.
For her sophomore release, Gina enlisted the help of the multi-talented producer/singer/songwriter Bobby Ross Avila on eight of the 11 tracks on the album.
"People today become so caught up in life that they forget about Eternal life. Our focus should not be on bigger houses and better cars, but should be on our personal relationship with Jesus Christ."
Among the highlights of the album are the catchy numbers like "Real Love" and the floor stompin' "Love Will Wait". If the single "Mind, Body, and Soul" doesn't make you get up and dance for joy, her noble cover of the Stephanie Mills classic "Never Knew Love Like this Before" surely will. "It's All About Love" features truth-telling ear candy like "He Came To Me" about living a better life by giving it to Jesus Christ and "How Will They Know", a stirring wake-up call to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to all the land. With consistent vocal delights and solid up-tempo tracks, "It's All About Love" contains some of Gina's finest work yet.
The exclusive "Gina (A Collective)" chronicles the best of Gina's recordings with "Nitro Praise" like the chart smashes "More Love, More Power" from "Nitro Praise 2" and "More Precious Than Silver" from the first "Nitro Praise" album as well as "You Are Mighty", her contribution to the wildly successful "Nitro Praise 4". Most notably present is the compelling love song "I Want To Praise You Lord" from "Nitro Praise 3". The album also features two unreleased tracks "Can't Move Me" and the Dottie Rambo-penned "I Go To The Rock". "Gina (A Collective), only available through N*Soul records and Gina Foglio Ministries, is a must have for any fan.
Gina's energetic style and natural stage presence distinguish her from most young performers. Even so early in her career, she has shared the stage with top Christian artists such as Bryan Duncan, Jon Gibson, Crystal Lewis, Supertones, Big Tent Revival, Jars of Clay, Delirious and Kim Boyce. Gina has made several guest appearances on the Trinity Broadcast network and has completed several music videos that have given her national recognition. She has also appeared at Knott's Berry Farm, Melodyland, Harvest, Calvary Chapels, Salvation Army, Inner City Outreach, Youth For Christ Oklahoma, Somebody Loves You Crusades and Wal-Mart's first Christian music promotion in Southern California.
Gina states, "people today become so caught up in life that they forget about Eternal life. Our focus should not be on bigger houses and better cars, but should be on our personal relationship with Jesus Christ".
Gina wants her music to offer a message of hope to a generation of youth that are in search of the truth. She believes her generation is being bombarded by drugs, sex and violence. Gina wants to give young people a message of hope and an alternative to what the world offers. It is her goal to express Christ's love through her music.
