Originally expected last fall, the Rodney Jerkins-helmed all-star cover of Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" will be released Feb. 27 on the CD/DVD "We Are Family 2007." The Bungalo/Universal project will raise money for the Points of Light Foundation's Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
The new version of "We Are Family" reunites the Sledge sisters for the first time in two decades and also features Chris Brown, Ciara, Patti LaBelle, Mary Mary, BeBe Winans, Ray J and Joy Enriquez.
The album is rounded out by new tracks from Angie Stone ("Who's To Blame"), Take 6 featuring Al Jarreau ("Eagle & Condor"), Musiq Soulchild ("Soul Clap"), Winans ("Don't Wanna Be Wrong Today") and Mike City with Lala Hathaway ("Heaven"). Behind-the-scenes footage from recording sessions for the single will be found on a bonus DVD.
To celebrate the effort, Sister Sledge will appear at a Feb. 3 event at the Miami Museum of Contemporary Art Plaza in conjunction with this year's Super Bowl festivities. For more information, visit WeAreFamily2007.com.
