CeCe Winans’ remarkable voice transcends genre and generations, a monumental feat in the gospel and Christian music realms, and her Tiny Desk concert serves as a deeply moving journey through the many eras of her monumental career, celebrating the 30th anniversary of her solo debut ‘Alone in His Presence’. Winans laughed while admitting she dusted off songs she had not performed in decades to craft this incredible set, and that is without even touching the groundbreaking work she did alongside her brother BeBe Winans. From the joyous call and response of “Pray” to the audible gasp from the crowd at the opening line of “Alabaster Box,” and culminating in a heartfelt “Goodness of God” singalong, this performance is far more than just nostalgic. It stands as a profound reminder of Winans’ enduring spiritual and cultural impact, showcasing why this living legend, one of the most decorated gospel artists of all time, easily took the Tiny Desk straight to church.
