Product Description

Coko Clemons has been best known as the lead singer of the 90's R&B group, SWV (Sisters With Voices). However, with the impending release of her sophomore release THE WINNER IN ME, Clemons will be seen as much more than a R&B singer who has "crossed over" to sing Gospel. Coko has proven that she is committed to spreading the message of joy and hope. With impeccable vocal range, the songbird mixes her powerful voice with an extraordinary talent of producers to create a highly anticipated gospel album. The project brings together a strong production team including Jazz Nixon (Kelly Price), Keith Crouch (Brandy, Mary J. Blige), Tony Homer(Zie'L), Gerald Haddon (Deitrick Haddon), her husband and drummer for Israel Houghton, Mike Clemons, and others.

5.0 out of 5 stars COKO!!!!!!!!!, July 15, 2009

By	Davien Harlis "Loverboi" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I never doubted that Cheryl would give ANOTHER Quality album. The music on this album is AWESOME! Vocally she is on another album. Spiritually she is on another level and it shines through on every track. The title track "Winner In Me" is my absolute favorite. After that would be "I Surrender." I can listen to every track and not skip once. "Make A Way" is Packed with energy and will have you bobbing your head about the Faith of knowing no matter what your faced with Jesus is gonna come thru and MAKE A WAY!."May Be My Last Time" is another Favorite where Coko ask you to get with her and give God the Praise thats due because it just might be your last time."Oh Mary,Renew My Mind, Let Me Go" are all favorites as well.Overall you can get what you need from every track on this album. Whatever your mood, whatever your situation after your done listening you will feel inspired to keep on pressing towards your destiny. You will indeed find the WINNER within. Great JOB COKO!!!! Love ya Beautiful :)

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm So Into God, July 15, 2009

By	zooni (long beach ,ca) - See all my reviews

I love Coko's music and I still love listening to SWV, that's how I got into her solo music. I like the fact she incorporated gospel into her singing career but I wish she would balance her new albums with love songs as well as gospel. I think this album should have had at least 2 or 3 "regular" songs about love. Even though I am a christian and accept Jesus Christ as my personal saviour I still balance my life with prayer and other worldy issues like love, people, places and things, although I am powerless over them. "Let Me Go" is the only song that doesn't mention God in every other sentence. I believe God does want us to praise him but also still be a human being that experiences life on life's terms. What I'm basically saying is I need a balance when it comes to music and I'm not exposed to gospel music and I don't like to listen to it all the time. It feels strange when I listened to this cd because I'm not used to God being praised so much, almost like an obsession. I love the songs "Let Me Go", Oh Mary, I Surrender, and Renew My Mind. I also like the first track which is not your standard Coko song. It starts off rock and I was like "uh oh I hope Coko isn't doing that american idol stuff." But the cd gets better towards the end and I was satisfied. Some of the songs are too repetative like "May Be the Last Time". I have to skip over it because as an artist you should try and keep it interesting, especially when you have all the creative power to do so. I will always love Coko and SWV and I think it's fantastic that Coko is putting out positive music about love, life and God when we are living in very sick times. Praise God. ******* I would also like to ammend my review because after listening to Coko's cd, it has grown on me and I am starting to enjoy listening to songs that only praise God and Jesus. I wish people would understand that this is only my second gospel listening experience, the first being Coko's Grateful. The amazing thing about Coko is that she is crossover and had it not been for her, I would not be exposed to this kind of music. Coko has intoduced the gospel to me and I thank her and God for this experience. I wish i could go back and give her cd 5 stars. I want to play this cd in the car and make my friends hear this music, and play it loud enough for them to hear the message. I've already played it once with my roomate and it's amazing to see the reaction on their face and in their behaviour. A sense of calm comes over them, so I recommend others spread the word of God through this cd. Thank you Coko for your amazing talent and for teaching me the word of God through your music.
