Urban gospel stars Mary Mary have certainly made a name for themselves. In 2000 they broke on the scene with their debut disc and first single “Shackles (Praise You).”

       The sister duo of Erica and Tina Campbell has now proclaimed their sound with their latest disc “The Sound.”

       The two-time Grammy award winners released this, their fifth album, late last year and it’s still maintaining traction on urban radio thanks to the hits “Get Up” and “The God in Me” featuring gospel fave Kierra Sheard.

       The sisters have also won Stellar, Dove, and America Music Awards, not to mention the love of legions of fans in reshaping the definition of gospel music, but the two say it’s easy to stay grounded.

       “We stay grounded knowing who I serve; knowing who I am,” Erica told EUR’s Gerald Radford. “I’m aware of what I can and what I cannot do. I’m aware of what prayer does and what hard work does and the difference between the two. No matter what God blesses us with, it doesn’t blow my head up because I’m realistic to where we are and who God is in this whole thing and I just give him all the glory.”

       They explained that their foolproof plan of giving God all the glory means they rarely toot their own horn and that’s what keeps them humble, but Erica continued that at the same time, the duo is not surprised at their success.

       “I’m not surprised because we’ve worked like crazy,” she said matter-of-factly. “If all this happened and I was just sitting at home, then I would be surprised. We have definitely put the work in and on top of the work that we’ve put in, God has been who is always who he is to us and that’s allowing our music to reach far and do what it does in blessing people and touching lives.”
