Sister Duo Alicia & Whitney Release 'Chasing Me Down'
Sister duo Alicia & Whitney have released a new single, 'Chasing Me Down', to Christian AC-formatted radio outlets and iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and all other digital platforms.
The single, written by Alicia McDermott-Yanik and Whitney McDermott and produced by Sean Hill, follows the radio successes of “New Thing” and “All For Nothing.”
In 2018, Alicia & Whitney released “A Portrait of Worship, the duo’s sophomore album. The CD yielded, “New Thing,” the duo’s first single, which debuted at No. 1 on CRC Weekly and hit No. 4 on the CRC Monthly chart. Earlier this year, a new single, “All For Nothing” also debuted at No. 1 on CRC Weekly, and held the No. 2 spot on CRC Monthly and the No. 3 spot on CRC Quarterly.
The sisters, who grew up in a musical family, have been singing since they were young. The death of their father when the sisters were young adults rekindled a passion for songwriting as they worked through their grief by writing songs. It was during this time that the young women felt God urging them to go back to the core of who He created them to be and to help others come to know Him and the purpose He has for each person. Their debut album, “Core,” is a collection of songs meant to help others reflect and heal from the inside out through the love of Jesus.
In recent years, Alicia & Whitney have toured throughout the United States, sharing their ministry of music and speaking. They also have traveled internationally to Honduras, Tanzania and Israel.
In addition to writing and performing music, Whitney is an author. Her debut book, “Beauty for My Ashes,” was written to help people cope with grief in a healthy way after losing a loved one. Her second book, “Occupy While Waiting,” is a singles guide to pursuing God, purpose and healthy relationships.
