Now in its third generation of performers, the first family of gospel proves the adage that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. With We Got Next, Winans Phase 2--a teen quartet of cousins--follow in the footsteps of ... more »their grandfolks (Mom and Pop Winans), their respective fathers (the Winans), and uncle and aunt (BeBe and CeCe), as well as other family members. These four young men celebrate those ties while also reveling in their independence, noted both in their moniker and on the bound-for-hit single "I'm a Winans, Too," a peacockish anthem of respect and heritage. Phase 2 meld urban edge, hip-hop, and rap with Marvin Gaye-style soul, youthful exuberance, and a deep and abiding faith in Christ, as exemplified by lyrics of salvation and praise. And playing another hand with the family card, these fellas even do a fabulous cover of the Bee Gees' "Too Much Heaven." Get back, y'all, these boys are just getting started. --Paige La Grone« less

"I saw a WP2: We Got Next advertisement in a magazine and thought "my God there's some more of them"! The entire Winans family as a whole have been the sound track of my life. I just HAD to hear what these four gorgeous young men sounded like. So, when I saw their CD at Sam Goody -- I didn't even sample it -- I bought it & popped it into the car's CD player right away. That was on September 19th, and I'm still boppin' my head to these songs --practically non-stop! It's amazing! I've told everyone I know & now I'm telling you: YOU MUST BUY IT. Each track "rocks"! I can't pick a favorite one. For all who are doubtin' the actual level of talent vs. family name, I've got three words for you: Quality Christian Music. It don't get no betta' than this. The music coupled with their vocals is perfectly polished. The lyrics are simple & heart felt, so that anyone our age (I'm 19) can relate. I am truly inspired! "Thank You Lord" for sending these guys to the forefront!And to Marvin, Carvin, Juan, and Mike: Don't turn to the right hand, nor to the left. I beleive that you are just where God wants you to be. Stay encouraged!! -Your #1 Fan"

"I LOVE THIS CD! I PLAY IT ALL THE TIME NON-STOP. IT IS UPBEAT AND KEEPS YOU MOVIN'. EVERY SINGLE SONG IS A WINNER WITH ME. THESE FOUR GUYS ARE YOUNG AND EXTREMELY TALENTED. THEY HAVE THE TIGHTEST HARMONY AND A UNIQUE SOUND. THEY DO REMIND ME OF THEIR FATHERS, BUT LIKE TRACK 7 SAYS, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN IDENTITY. THEY HAVE A GOOD MESSAGE, AND ARE TRULY SPREADING THE GOSPEL IN A WAY THAT ISN'T TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE AS FAR AS BEATS CUZ EVERY BEAT AND ALL THE RAPPIN' IS SMOOTH. I HOPE THEY COME OUT WITH ANOTHER ALBUM SOON. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CD TO ANY AND EVERYBODY!!!! IF ANY OF PHASE2 READS THIS, JUST KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT NEGATIVE THINGS ARE SAID, JUST LISTEN TO GOD CUZ HE'S THE ONE IN CONTROL!! USE THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS AS MOTIVATION TO DO EVEN MORE FOR YOUR SAVIOR!"
Much props to the next generation

"I grew up listening to their fathers, so i found it hard to believe that the Winans could be out done. But, these boys have done it! Tight, tight, tight...no other way to put it. They have a great sound and awesome lyrics. The perfect mix of r&b, soul, and hip-hop to reach today's youth. I'm no youth but they reached me too. Great job guys...can't wait to hear more from you! May God continue to bless your family! You are in my prayers!"
Thank God for these 4 talented, beautiful, God-fearing men!

"WAZUP! This album has been such a blessing to me. It has helped me find the words to say to the people who do not believe in Jesus. I got the album from Sam Goody as a Christmas gift to myself because my mother recommended that I check it out because The Winans' albums have blessed my family in ways I cannot explain. This is a true blessing, no joke about that. I want to say thank you to Marvin Jr., Carvin Jr., Juan, and Mike Jr. for producing an inspirational message through your music that will live forever in my heart. I love you guys and your music. Keep God first and you will never go wrong. "The Legacy Ain't Through" because I wanna be a Winans Too!God Bless and let Jesus do the rest, A1C Jennette L. Brown, United States Air ForceA #1 JESUS FAN & YOUR #1 FAN!P.S.(Can I see you all smile on the next album cover please!)"
