Mary Alessi is known for her passionate praise in songs like "More" and throughout the Stellar Award-nominated release When Women Worship. The twin sister of GRAMMY Award nominee Martha Munizzi just released her fourth CD, Pressing On and it's "making noise" on the Billboard Charts. The new CCM and gospel-flavored record made its entrance on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart at #11. In addition, the project peaked at #23 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. The Heatseekers Chart represents new artists, from all genres, who have made impressive rankings and sales for the first time. Alessi, co-pastor of Metro Life Church in Miami, FL, is thrilled about the debut and its charting. "I can't believe how God is already showering favor on my latest project, Pressing On", says the psalmist. The CD contains powerful praise tracks and heart-wrenching worship songs. Tunes like the gospel-tinged "I'll Come Running/Have Your Way In Me" and the original "I Surrender All" will touch hearts. Fans will also enjoy the acoustic-driven title tune, "Pressing On" and the rock-edged "More Than Conquerors" featuring Munizzi. Other great songs include the memorable "I Will Bless The Lord" and the inspirational "All The Doors". The CD isn't just a wonderful collection of spirited music from this Dove Award nominee, but after witnessing her husband, Steve, have a near-death experience, she's learned to declare - no matter what happens - that she will indeed "press on". The project is released on Alessi's Miami Life Sounds label and is distributed nationally through New Day Distributors and Select-O-Hits.
