Mandisa set to release third album

THE ONE TIME American Idol finalist who went on to become an icon for American women struggling with their weight, Mandisa, will release her third album on 5th April, 'What If We Were Real'. Three different producers worked on the project - Chris Stevens (Carrie Underwood, Toby Mac), Dan Mukala (Amy Grant, MercyMe) and Chance Scoggins (Natalie Grant, Sandi Patty). Mandisa co-wrote three tunes on the new album including the title track. Already getting airplay in the US is the song "Stronger". Commented Mandisa, "That song is very appropriate for me. When I look back on this year and reflect on the difficult things I've gone through, I realise I've grown the most not from when things were great, but from when they were hard. 'Stronger' is encouragement for anybody who is going through a similar time. As long as you're still here and still walking through, you'll be stronger in the end."
