“I’m most comfortable because I don’t even have to think hard. “Singing for God and his people, It’s more home for me,” she says. But something about singing for God and His church strikes a cord in her that not even the most uplifting, stirring pop tune can.
Not one to pick favorites, she says she loves both ends of the spectrum.

Purified, CeCe’s chart-topping 2005 release, saw the singer entertaining her pop sensibilities, proving once again that she excels at interpreting buoyant, life-affirming songs that a wider audience could embrace. But nothing is more powerful than when you’re face to face with God.” When you do other music-positive music, gospel, inspirational, whatever you want to name it-you’re teaching lessons to other people, which is still very important. “When you’re in the throne room, your focus is just God,” CeCe says. Thy Kingdom Come (PureSprings Gospel), her eighth solo album, is a reflection of where her heart resides: in the very inner court of the heavenly realms, where Christ Himself is enthroned.
When all is said and done, CeCe’s heart lies someplace else. She won’t tell you she’s graced the covers of high-profile publications such as Essence, Jet, CCM, and Today’s Christian Woman, among countless others, or that she’s made her rounds in the talk-show circuit, making appearances on The Today Show, Good Morning America, Oprah, Live with Regis & Kathie Lee, and more.
