Fast forward nearly three years to today. Mandisa just finished her latest album. Out of the Dark (deluxe edition) is available beginning today. There are 18 tracks and 4 amazing collaborations with Kirk Franklin, TobyMac, Britt Nicole, and Jeremy Camp. You’ll also find Matthew West, Hollyn, and Ryan Stevenson’s names in the credits of the liner notes.
