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. |

Avohee Avoher Releases “Avohee Meets Bach”A Spiritual Collision of Bach, Choral Power and Modern Dance Energy -Now Available Worldwide
Johann Sebastian Bach wrote music that moved with force. Beneath the structure lived tension, release, devotion and emotion. More than three centuries later, that energy returns through Avohee Meets Bach, the third release in Avohee Avoher’s Addicted to Classics series.
This is not a remake. It is a rebirth.
Inspired by the emotional weight and architecture of Bach’s Chaconne in D minor from Partita No. 2, BWV 1004, and the legendary piano transcription tradition of Ferruccio Busoni, Avohee Meets Bach transforms classical intensity into a modern dance experience built for movement, atmosphere and emotional release.
Ancient meets modern.
Operatic choir rises through hypnotic rhythm. Sacred Latin phrases intertwine with haunting German whispers. Spiritual energy collides with underground pulse. Emotion builds, pressure rises, tension releases.
Kyrie eleison.
Lux aeterna.
The result is cinematic, uplifting, sensual and powerful.
Created for the dance floor but carrying the weight of classical tradition, Avohee Meets Bach moves between worlds. It belongs equally in the underground club, the international festival arena and the listener seeking something deeper inside electronic music.
This is not nostalgia.
It is transformation.
