You'd best be up on your Bible if you're chatting up Trini- tee 5:7. The contemporary gospel group consisting of Angel Taylor, Chanelle Hayes and Adrian Anderson have sold over two million albums and have been spreading positive messages via three CDs over the course of 10 years. Their fourth CD, T57, will be in stores soon. -forrest green III

Tell our readers about the new album.

Angel: It's a very fun record. Of course, we have our traditional remake on it. And we have a ton of fun songs; we have some love songs on there that talk about the experience of what that's like. And we have a song on there, 'Beautiful Girl,' that uplifts girls and women and tells us we are beautiful. It doesn't matter what you look like or who you are. You just are beautiful because God made you that way.

Chanelle: I think Angel (says) it really well. This is a 10- year anniversary for Trin-i-tee 5:7. It's a culmination, a great celebration for us. (And it shows the) evolution and maturity of this group. What is the group's objective as far as making records right now?

Adrian: This is the fourth CD for our group. It's a conduit to get out the message that we have. We're here as a movement, as a brand, and to inspire humanity from the grassroots level to the international level. It's defi - nitely more than records at this point in our career. Our production company is contributing to the images you see in the marketplace. It's (also a) philanthropic (and) humanitarian effort. Because [I've] always said, people need people.
