MOTOWN GOSPEL SIGNS LATOCHA
OF MULTI-PLATINUM GROUP XSCAPE
| (NASHVILLE, TN) – January 10, 2023 — Motown Gospel (a division of Capitol CMG/Capitol and Universal Music Group) announces the signing of award-winning artist LaTocha to an exclusive license agreement via her own label, Made Girl Music. A multi-hyphenate force in the music industry, LaTocha is best known as a member of the multi-platinum-selling R&B group Xscape, providing leads on some of the group’s biggest songs, including “Who Can I Run To” and “The Arms of the One Who Loves You.” “It has always been a passion of mine to do inspirational music,” says LaTocha. “It has been my foundation, and that is very evident, even when I sing R&B music. I can’t escape that.” For the powerhouse songstress, the interplay of music and faith began at Mt. Olive Church of God in Holiness, in her hometown of College Park, GA. She leaned on that foundation even as she became a household name in one of the biggest girl groups in R&B history. “A hallmark of LaTocha’s successful career has been her love for gospel music and her strong personal connection to the Black church,” shares Monica Coates, Co-Executive Director, Motown Gospel. “I am excited for her fans—long-standing and new—to finally have a body of work that reflects those areas of her passion.” Adds EJ Gaines, Co-Executive Director of Motown Gospel: “LaTocha has one of the most recognized voices in R&B, but she also has staying power and manages to maintain relevance in a marketplace that doesn’t always allow for that. I can’t wait for her fans to hear what she’s been working on.” LaTocha is readying her debut inspirational project, slated for release this year. Fans can stay connected with LaTocha via her social media channels– @iAmLaTocha on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and Facebook. |

Long-time listeners to Kingdom Kome’s projects will notice that he has unlocked a new chamber lyrically in this release. The emcee said “It’s a more spiritually focused album. I wanted to touch on a lot more esoteric and occult sciences on this one.” This extends to the subtitle Ein Sof which in terms of Kabbalah (the ancient Hebrew mystical practice that explores the nature of God and the Universe) which translates as “the endless one.” As Kingdom Kome states “there’s breadcrumbs throughout the album for people to do their own research.
