Group 1 Crew Fearless

street date: September 10, 2012 Order due date: August 24, 2012 File Under: CPCPXX genre: Pop Contemporary Box Lot: 30 Pkg: Jewel Album Overview

Five-time Dove Award winners Group 1 Crew have come through a handful of challenges over the past few years as they have been preparing their new album Fearless. From the departure of Pablo to the loss of singer Blanca’s father in November of 2011, to the joys and trials of being newlyweds while dealing with a constant touring schedule including the biggest tour in the world (Winter Jam 2012), Group 1 Crew has gone through it and have emerged on the other side with a message for their fans.

Fearless, their fourth studio album, takes fans on a purposeful journey to encounter the truths that Manwell and Blanca have come face-to-face with over the past few years. The title track declares the message Group 1 Crew wishes to convey on this album that “If You’re with me, who can be against me? I have no reason to fear.” The soaring ballad “Steppin’ Out” reminds listeners that it’s not too late to take a chance…that the Maker of their dreams will make a way if it’s what He’s called them to. While Group 1 Crew takes the lyrical content of Fearless to a significant new level of depth, they remain true to their signature rap/hip-hop/dance infused style while opening the door to an entirely new fan-base through Christian AC radio with tracks like “He Said” featuring Chris August.
