Now, Erica Campbell has released two solo albums as well as seven albums with her sister. Her debut solo album “Help” won a 2015 Grammy Award for Best Gospel Album as well as eight Stellar Awards. Campbell is an author and the host of the nationally syndicated radio show “Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell,” on Urban One. She has a new album and song due out soon and the duo, Mary Mary is often credited for broadening the fan base of contemporary gospel in the 2000s by introducing elements of soul music and hip hop.

Both singles were also hits in the UK and Europe, and to this day remain popular with Christian youths in the US, Latin America, and Europe.
