Trin-I-Tee 5:7
Biography
Since the late ‘90s, Trin-I-Tee 5:7 has often been described as a Christian version of Destiny's Child or a contemporary gospel equivalent of En Vogue--and both of those comparisons are valid. Musically, Trin-I-Tee 5:7 has a lot in common with secular R&B outfits like En Vogue, Destiny's Child, TLC and Brownstone--they're a female vocal group with an urban contemporary sound that has been heavily influenced by hip-hop. But lyrically, the trio is coming from a Christian/gospel perspective; Trin-I-Tee 5:7 isn't gospel in the traditional way that Mahalia Jackson, Clara Ward and Dorothy Love Coates were gospel, but they do combine an urban contemporary/neo-soul sound with Christian-oriented lyrics. In terms of image, Trin-I-Tee 5:7 favors a look that is stylish and even sexy but not slutty or trashy--they wear makeup and attractive clothing, but they don't go out of their way to exploit their sex appeal. Some people in the gospel world have felt that Trin-I-Tee's look is too stylish for a Christian group, but then, combining a hip image with Christian lyrics isn't something new--over the years, modern Christian music has included everything from heavy metal to new wave to grunge.
