Cece Manuela Finds Healing, Hope, And Rising Success With New Worship Anthem "Your Word," Reaching Music Charts

Cameroonian-born Christian artist Cece Manuela is gaining recognition in the contemporary Christian music scene with her new single, "Your Word," which has climbed the Amazon Music and iTunes Christian music charts. This achievement marks a significant milestone for the singer-songwriter, who has quickly become a notable presence in the genre within just a year of launching her career.

Cece Manuela’s growing prominence is reflected in the chart success of "Your Word," which reached the number one position on Amazon Music and climbed to number 36 on the iTunes Christian charts. The single’s performance signals both commercial success and widespread listener engagement, highlighting the appeal of her distinct musical style combined with a sincere expression of faith.

The song "Your Word" was co-written by Cece Manuela and Lydia Walker. It serves as a personal testimony of the artist’s journey of faith and healing, inspired by her experience of being asked to leave the church community where she had been raised. This pivotal moment led her to a renewed relationship with God, supported by mentors and Scripture. Cece Manuela has described the song as a reflection of the transformative power of God’s word in her life.

Produced by Curt Ryle of Clarksville Creative Sound, "Your Word" features contributions from a team of seasoned Nashville musicians, including Mike Severs on electric guitar, Jimmy Carter on bass, Ryan Jones on keyboards, and Dennis Holt on drums. Vocal harmonies by Julia Appleton complement Cece Manuela’s powerful lead vocals, underscoring the song’s blend of reverence and hope.

The music video for "Your Word," directed by Lucas Ciliberti, was filmed in the Smoky Mountains, capturing the natural beauty of the region to visually enhance the spiritual message of the song. Cece Manuela and her husband undertook extensive hiking to achieve the desired footage, with creative guidance from Tommy Snyder, CEO of the American Country Network. The video debuted on the American Country Network on April 27 and was subsequently added to their rotation, expanding the reach of the single’s message.

The release of "Your Word" has been met with considerable interest, amassing close to 100,000 views on YouTube, which attests to the song’s resonance with a broad audience. As one of the first Cameroonian Christian artists to attain chart recognition in major U.S. music platforms, Cece Manuela has expressed hope that her success will inspire and open doors for other artists from her native country.

Producer Curt Ryle played an instrumental role in the production process. Known for his work with notable artists such as Taylor Swift and George Jones, Ryle discovered and signed Cece Manuela to his label Clarksville Creative Sound, making her the first Christian artist on the roster. The production of "Your Word" involved meticulous attention to detail to ensure the song’s message was conveyed with clarity and impact.

Though Cece Manuela moved to the United States at the age of 10 and has yet to return to Cameroon, she envisions her music reaching global audiences, including her homeland. "Your Word" stands as an affirmation of faith and healing, illustrating the power of Scripture to inspire change and offer hope across cultural boundaries.

Cece Manuela continues to develop her career as a Christian music artist known for her emotive vocal delivery and authentic songwriting. Her debut single, "Your Word," has established her as an emerging artist dedicated to conveying messages of hope and spiritual renewal through music.
