Mandisa has been very vocal about her recent struggle with depression. So how did writing songs for her album "Out of the Dark" help her out of that dark place?
She explains - in this exclusive interview!
As CCM Magazine reports, Mandisa released her comeback album Out Of The Dark on May 19, 2017 (Sparrow Records—buy) nearly four whole years after her previous project, Overcomer, dropped to critical praise. Since then, the GRAMMY Award-winning artist faced such deep and personal adversity, it threatened to choke the very life from her.
In June 2014, close friend Lakisha Mitchell lost her battle with breast cancer—the very subject that had inspired Mandisa’s Overcomer album. The tragedy produced such a cloud over the talented singer that it created doubts about God to the swinging points of the highest outrage to the deepest depression.
