Coko Follows God

SWV singer and inspirational recording star Coko is back in the studio recording the follow-up to 2006s "Grateful".

Coko's as-yet-untitled release, following the songbird's work with Donald Lawrence, Kierra Sheard, and Warren Campbell, is likely to hit stores and digital retailers this summer.

The former SWV singer's album follows an exclusive 2008 interview with Essence in which Coko dispelled rumors of an SWV reunion album:

"We were talking about a reunion album, but I'm not interested. I don't want to cheat the girls and our fans. I don't want to start something I can't finish. Taj and Lelee understand where I am and they respect my decision. There's no tension or beef. Occasionally, we do special shows like the BET Awards, but a whole reunion tour and album? Spiritually, I'm not there."

"I want to stay on the path that God is leading me and that is to continue my ministry continue to reach out to others and spread the good news."


translation: no one would buy another SWV album anyway, so I might as well stay in the church and pray for a chitlin circuit check.


Janet Jackson may want to go this route.
