American Idol's Mandisa releases Christmas EP

R&B GOSPEL diva Mandisa, who rose to prominence through the American Idol TV series, will release a Christmas project in the US on 20th November. The four songs on 'Christmas Joy EP' are initially released digitally and include the newly written "Christmas Makes Me Cry", a duet with labelmate Matthew West. Said Mandisa, "It seems to me that even the hardest hearts soften during the Christmas season. There is a prevalent joy that draws people together and Christmas music is the soundtrack to that season. Reflecting on God's unconditional love for us is what Christmas means to me."
