Album, book for dc Talk man TobyMac.

ONE OF the founders of dc Talk, TobyMac, spoke about his new album 'Welcome To Diverse City' set for UK release in November. He said, "The major difference between this record and 'Momentum' is that I know what's working for me live and I could write songs based around that. I wanted an old school, timeless feel of the classic funk songs this time around, and I wrote songs that feel like that era. There's a little Gap Band influence, a bit of Parliament injected in there. It's been so fun and such a blessing to be able to do what you want to do creatively."

In other news, TobyMac and Michael Tait will be publishing their third book, Under God, in late September. The book tells the stories of men and women of faith who forged the USA. CR
