Missouri-born DANITA MUMPHARD was raised in the classic gospel tradition. Schooled by her music teacher mother, young Danita went on to work with people like Ron Winans and Tramaine Hawkins. Her latest album, ‘Love’s Taking Over’ is currently winning the affections of the soul fraternity and one tune in particular is creating major waves…. the lovely, gentle, laid-back ‘Sincerely Yours’. Produced (like the entire album) by husband Robert Mumphard Jr, the song has the feel of Deniece Williams’ ‘Free’ about it. It begins with a short instrumental shimmer before Ms M glides gently over a tender lyric with the same understated passion and purity of Niecey…. one of 2015’s best so far and worth investigating.
