By her own admission, Burrell's first solo was taken at the age of only one year old singing Andrae Crouch's "Hallelujah Praise" with the church choir.<ref name="gfdiva">{{cite web|url=http://www.gospelflava.com/articles/burrell.html|title=Diva for the New Millennium: An Interview with Kim Burrell|publisher=GospelFlava.com}}</ref> Burrell began her gospel career proper performing with Reverend [[James Cleveland]]'s Gospel Music Workshop Choir, Trinity Temple Full Gospel Mass Choir of Dallas and The Inspirational Sounds Mass Choir of Houston.<ref name="gfdiva"/>


== Career ==
Her first independent album ''Try Me Again'' was delivered on the Texas-based boutique label Pearl Records in 1995. Though limited distribution kept the album from nationwide recognition, it did build a strong buzz that helped her get signed to Tommy Boy Gospel and deliver the now-classic ''Everlasting Life'' produced by [[Asaph Alexander Ward]]. The album performed well and peaked at #12 on the Billboard Gospel Charts.
=== 1989–2003 ===
Burrell's performances continued with Trinity Temple Full Gospel Mass Choir of Dallas and The Inspirational Sounds Mass Choir of Houston.<ref name="MTV Bio" /> In 1996, she was a featured singer on the reprise of "Jesus Paid It All" on Ricky Dillard & New G's album ''Worked It Out''. Her first independent album, ''Try Me Again'', was released on the Texas-based boutique label Pearl Records in 1995. This led to her being signed to [[Tommy Boy Records|Tommy Boy Gospel]] and releasing another album, ''[[Everlasting Life]]'' (1998), produced by [[Asaph Alexander Ward]]. The album peaked at #10 on the ''Billboard'' Gospel Charts.<ref>{{cite magazine| url= http://www.billboard.com/charts/gospel-albums/1999-03-06 |title= Gospel Albums Chart| date= March 6, 1999| magazine= [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard.com]]}}</ref> Burrell recorded ''[[Live in Concert (Kim Burrell album)|Live In Concert]]'', a live album in November 2000 at the annual COGIC Holy Convocation in [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], [[Tennessee]]. The album was released in 2001. It was nominated for a [[Grammy Awards|Grammy Award]] for Best Soul Gospel Album in 2002. Though Tommy Boy Gospel closed shortly after the release of ''Live In Concert'', by 2002, she had signed a recording contract with [[Elektra Records]].<ref>[http://www.eurweb.com/printable.cfm?id=5995] {{dead link|date=December 2017|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref> Under this contract she recorded only a guest appearance on the all-star gospel track "Higher Ground", which first appeared as a bonus track on [[Missy Elliott]]'s album ''[[Miss E...

Burrell has continued to perform live and to collaborate with other artists. Though only intermittently active as a recording artist, she established and hosts the annual Ephesians 4 conference, a workshop for performing artists.


=== 2004–present ===
[[Image:KimBurrellEverlastingLife.jpg|thumb|left|Cover of Burrell's breakthrough album ''Everlasting Life''.]]
In 2004, Burrell was a guest performer along with [[Kelly Price]] on [[R. Kelly]]'s "3-Way Phone Call" playing the part of Price's "prayer partner" in the [[soap opera]]-like song.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gospelflava.com/reviews/rkellyusavedme.html|title=R.

Quickly becoming known as a virtuoso vocalist and pianist, it seemed only logical to deliver a live album which Burrell recorded November 2000 at the annual [[COGIC]] Convention in [[Memphis, Tennessee]]. Though the recording of the concert was widely storied to be troubled requiring notable some overdubs and post-production, the resulting ''Live In Concert'' album released in 2001 sated eager fans and earned Burrell a [[Grammy Awards|Grammy]] nomination for Best Soul Gospel Album in 2002.


In December 2016, a video surfaced showing Burrell preaching a sermon at the Love & Liberty Fellowship Church.<ref>{{cite news|title=Kim Burrell under fire for comments about gays and lesbians|url=http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Kim-Burrell-under-fire-for-comments-about-gays-10828832.php|access-date=January 1, 2017|publisher=SFGate|date=January 1, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Alexis| first1=Diamond| title=Pharrell, Janelle Monae and Questlove Respond to Kim Burrell's LGBTQ Comments| url=https://www.bet.com/article/sl9aw2/pharrell-janelle-monae-and-questlove-respond-to-kim| access-date= January 3, 2017|publisher=BET|date=January 2, 2017}}</ref> In that sermon, she called people who engage in homosexual acts "perverted" and said they had been deceived by the "homosexual spirit."<ref name="perverts">{{cite news|last1=Petit| first1=Stephanie| title=Hidden Figures Singer Kim Burrell Calls Gay People 'Perverted' Days Before Appearance on Ellen|url=http://people.com/music/kim-burrell-calls-gay-people-perverted-days-before-appearance-on-the-ellen-degeneres-show| access-date=January 1, 2017|work= [[People (magazine)|People]] |date=December 31, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| last1= Strachan| first1= Maxwell| title= Pharrell's Singing Partner Caught On Tape In Homophobic Rant|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/kim-burrell-homphobia-gay-lgbt_us_5867f54ae4b0d9a5945b9cbb| access-date=January 1, 2017 |work= Huffington Post|date=December 31, 2016}}</ref> She also warned that people who "play with" homosexual sin would "die from it" in 2017.<ref>{{cite news| url= https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/01/08/gospel-preacher-kim-burrells-controversial-remarks-reveal-black-church-split-on-lgbt-issues/| title= Reactions to gospel preacher Kim Burrell on LGBT issues reveal split among black churches| first= Kate| last= Shellnutt| date= January 8, 2017 | newspaper= [[The Washington Post]]| access-date= April 25, 2017}}</ref> In response to considerable criticism, Burrell said that she makes "no excuses or apologies" for the sermon, adding "I love you, and God loves you, but he hates the sin in you and me."<ref name="Fox News">{{cite news|title=Gospel singer Kim Burrell under fire for comments about gays and lesbians| url= https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/gospel-singer-kim-burrell-under-fire-for-comments-about-gays-and-lesbians|access-date=January 1, 2017| publisher= Fox News| date= January 1, 2017}}</ref> Shortly after the video of the sermon surfaced, ''[[The Ellen DeGeneres Show]]'' canceled Burrell's scheduled appearance,<ref>{{cite news| title=Kim Burrell Won't Appear on 'Ellen' After Anti-Gay Sermon| url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7640784/kim-burrell-off-ellen-anti-gay-sermon| access-date=January 3, 2017|publisher=Billboard|date=January 3, 2017}}</ref> as did the [[BMI Film & TV Awards|BMI Trailblazers of Gospel Music]] event, where she was removed as an honoree.<ref>{{cite news |last= Stutz |first= Colin |url= http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7647840/kim-burrell-not-take-part-bmi-gospel-music-honors-anti-gay |title= Kim Burrell Asked to Not Take Part in BMI Gospel Music Event After Anti-Gay Sermon |publisher= Billboard |date= January 6, 2016 }}</ref> Her radio talk show, ''Bridging the Gap with Kim Burrell'', was canceled by [[Texas Southern University]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Purcell| first1=Carey|title=Kim Burrell update: Gospel singer's radio show dropped by TSU following homophobic sermon| url=http://www.aol.com/article/2017/01/05/kim-burrell-radio-show-cancelled/21648519/|access-date=January 5, 2017|publisher=AOL|date=January 5, 2016}}</ref>

Unfortunately, this contract yielded naught but a guest appearance on the all-star gospel track [[Missy Elliott]]-produced "Higher Ground" which first appeared as a bonus track on Missy's album ''Miss E... So Addictive'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blackflix.com/music/elliot.missy.html|title=Missy Elliott has raised the bar on hip-hop|publisher=BlackFlix.com}}</ref> but was later featured on Karen Clark Sheard's ''2nd Chance'' album.

Details of new recordings have periodically surfaced, some of which are listed below:

* In 2001, shortly after the release of ''Live In Concert'', Kim Burrell was said to be working with [[Stevie Wonder]], [[Deitrick Haddon]], [[Chaka Khan]], and [[Eric Dawkins]] on a new studio album.<ref name="gf2001">{{cite web|url=http://www.gospelflava.com/articles/kimburrell2.html|title=Interview With Kim Burrell: Glorious Praise|author=North, Stan|publisher=GospelFlava.com|date=2001}}</ref>

* The long-awaited gospel compilation from [[Bad Boy Entertainment]] was slated to release May 8, 2001 featuring Kim Burrell, John P. Kee, Mary Mary, Hezekiah Walker, Fred Hammond, and Vickie Winans among other performers. To date, the project has still not been released<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eurweb.com/printable.cfm?id=1541|title=Gospel Newsbits|publisher=EURweb}}</ref> and is rumored shelved indefinitely.

* Burrell collaborated with [[Tonéx]] in 2004 on some recordings for a new album. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://wwww.gospelflava.com/articles/tonexinterview2004.html|title=Tonex: Out The Box in 2004 (Interview)|publisher=GospelFlava.com}}</ref>

* As of August 2006, according to Sony Gospel president Tara Griggs-McGee, the anticipated new studio album from Kim Burrell has now turned to plans for a live recording, though no date has been set. The live album will likely include several studio tracks already recorded.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blackvoices.aol.com/black_entertainment/bvbuzzcanvas/_a/aug-28-2006/20060828113409990001|title=The BV Buzz with Jawn Murray|date=August 28, 2006|author=Murray, Jawn|publisher=AOL BlackVoices}}</ref> However, since the time of that article, Sony Gospel has folded into Columbia Records and Griggs-McGee is no longer with either label.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gospelflava.com/articles/recap2006.html|title=A Gospel Recap of 2006: The Demise of Sony Gospel|publisher=GospelFlava.com}}</ref>

Kimberly Jean Burrell[1] (born August 26, 1972) is an American gospel singer, songwriter, and pastor from Houston, Texas.

Early life

[edit]

Born Kimberly Jean Burrell on August 26, 1972, in Houston, Texas,[2] Burrell was one of four children born to Julius Burrell Jr., a pastor, and Helen Ruth Graham, an evangelist singer in The Church of God in Christ.[1] As a youth, Burrell began performing with Reverend James Cleveland's GMWA Youth Mass Choir (also known as Rev. James Cleveland's Kids).[3]

Career

[edit]

1989–2003

[edit]

Burrell's performances continued with Trinity Temple Full Gospel Mass Choir of Dallas and The Inspirational Sounds Mass Choir of Houston.[3] In 1996, she was a featured singer on the reprise of "Jesus Paid It All" on Ricky Dillard & New G's album Worked It Out. Her first independent album, Try Me Again, was released on the Texas-based boutique label Pearl Records in 1995. This led to her being signed to Tommy Boy Gospel and releasing another album, Everlasting Life (1998), produced by Asaph Alexander Ward. The album peaked at #10 on the Billboard Gospel Charts.[4] Burrell recorded Live In Concert, a live album in November 2000 at the annual COGIC Holy Convocation in Memphis, Tennessee. The album was released in 2001. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Soul Gospel Album in 2002. Though Tommy Boy Gospel closed shortly after the release of Live In Concert, by 2002, she had signed a recording contract with Elektra Records.[5] Under this contract she recorded only a guest appearance on the all-star gospel track "Higher Ground", which first appeared as a bonus track on Missy Elliott's album Miss E... So Addictive[6] and was later featured on Karen Clark Sheard's 2nd Chance album. Burrell has continued to perform live and to collaborate with other artists. Though only intermittently active as a recording artist, she established and hosts the annual Ephesians 4 conference, a workshop for performing artists.

2004–present

[edit]

In 2004, Burrell was a guest performer along with Kelly Price on R. Kelly's "3-Way Phone Call" playing the part of Price's "prayer partner" in the soap opera-like song.[7] She appeared in George Clinton's original song "Mathematics of Love" on Clinton's 2008 album of covers, George Clinton and Some Gangsters of Love.[8] Burrell released her first studio album in 11 years, No Ways Tired, on April 7, 2009, through Shanachie Records.[9] The album features covers of classic gospel songs like "My Faith Looks Up To Thee," "What A Friend We Have In Jesus," "O Lamb Of God" and "I Surrender All," as well as the classic James Cleveland song after which the album is named.[10][11] Burrell has uncredited vocals on Frank Ocean’s “Godspeed” from his 2016 album Blonde. Burrell sang "I see a Victory" with Pharrell Williams for the soundtrack to the feature film Hidden Figures (2016).[12]

In December 2016, a video surfaced showing Burrell preaching a sermon at the Love & Liberty Fellowship Church.[13][14] In that sermon, she called people who engage in homosexual acts "perverted" and said they had been deceived by the "homosexual spirit."[15][16] She also warned that people who "play with" homosexual sin would "die from it" in 2017.[17] In response to considerable criticism, Burrell said that she makes "no excuses or apologies" for the sermon, adding "I love you, and God loves you, but he hates the sin in you and me."[18] Shortly after the video of the sermon surfaced, The Ellen DeGeneres Show canceled Burrell's scheduled appearance,[19] as did the BMI Trailblazers of Gospel Music event, where she was removed as an honoree.[20] Her radio talk show, Bridging the Gap with Kim Burrell, was canceled by Texas Southern University.[21]
