On 2005's PURIFIED, CeCe Winans continues her famous family's legacy of stirring gospel music. This time around, however, Winans's soulful vocals are backed by more blatantly R&B-tinged tunes, with some songs even incorporating subtle hip-hop beats. While worship remains Winans's focus, this album shows that the beloved performer can hold her own in the secular pop realm as well.
