You may remember powerhouse songstress Evvie Mickinney as the Season 1 winner of FOX’s “The Four: Battle to Stardom” where she gave it her all each week in front of celebrity judges Diddy, DJ Khaled and Meghan Trainor.

Evvie quickly rose as the fan fave and claimed the crown through powerful performances and her angelic voice. After an initial deal with Republic Records, she signed to Motown Gospel/Capitol CMG (home of Tasha Cobbs-Leonard and Tye Tribbett) where she collabed with mentor Meghan Trainor on new single “Bring the Whole Hood” that speaks to what inspired her musically while inviting listeners into her journey.

With an upbeat tempo and ode to her hometown of Memphis, “Bring the Whole Hood” is an autobiography of Evvie’s life and a look into her path as an emerging artist.

“In this single, I’m introducing you to the heart and soul of who I am; where I’ve come from and where I’m going,” said McKinney of the feel-good bop that’s already #1 on Pandora’s Gospel playlist.

“Without question, Evvie McKinney is a formidable live performer,” gushed Monica Coates and EJ Gaines, Co-Executive Directors of Motown Gospel. “With the release of ‘Bring The Whole Hood,’ we are thrilled that fans will finally get to hear her inspiring story in her own voice.”

But, the CBS show will have all the other characters mentioned in the book, like Clarice Starling, her colleague Ardelia Mapp, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Paul Krendler, the late serial killer Buffalo Bill, and a few others. “I’m still trying to understand how the rights are divided,” Alex shared with the magazine about the legality of it all, but he’s okay with that too. Turns out that not having access to Hannibal hasn’t been limiting. “It’s bee...

Sóller hike followed by a healthy vegan lunch

We got a group of friends together (of various ages and fitness levels) to hike around the hills surrounding the Mallorcan town of Sóller, in the northwest of the island. There are many quite easy trails but usually, it involves a bit of hiking up and downhill. We began our walk at the first roundabout after the tunnel and climbed for about 25 minutes uphill after that it was reasonably flat for the next hour or so. The final part was decent into the town of Sóller where we had booked a private vegan brunch for our group. Barbara and Martjin opened Ecocirer in March 2018 as a vegan hotel with 6 bedrooms in the town of Sóller. It is the ideal accommodation for a family celebration if you would like to enjoy healthy vegan food with plenty of activities to get you out into the beautiful nature surrounding the picturesque town. The expe...
