“When saints start praying / Things start changing!” Amen! Tina Campbell (Trecina “Tina” Atkins-Campbell), one half of the beloved contemporary gospel sister duo, Mary Mary thanks those who took the time to pray for her on her encouraging, spirited single, “Pray For Me”.  “Pray For Me” interpolates the gospel classic, “Somebody Prayed For Me” (“I’m so glad they prayed for me”) putting a fresh, contemporary R&B/hip-hop spin.  The production is sleek and soulful.

“Went to the Lord on my behalf / Cause they knew what I needed / Even when I walked in the church / They knew I was depleted,” Tina sings in the first verse, continuing, “Made up their mind, gave up the time / To ask the Lord to help me.” The melody is tuneful, while the vocals are high-flying.  Tina has always been able to not only ‘sing,’ but ‘sang.’ In the second verse, the theme is similar: “Called on Jesus all night long / Cause they knew about my struggle / Didn’t even matter / I was the reason I was in trouble…” Tina had some prayer warriors on her side, which is a blessing.  In the chorus, with the help of awesome background vocals, Tina asserts, “(Pray for me) / Didn’t leave me there by myself / (Pray for me) / Asked Almighty to send some help.” Amen! Tina Campbell delivers an electrifying, uplifting performance on the must-hear, prayerful “Pray For Me”.
