The release of the album has been delayed again due to ongoing health issues with the artist. Please see below for a letter from John Wells regarding the release of the album. "...the two most important days in life are the Birth Date and the Death Date. But What is often overlooked is the "insignificant" Dash that separates the two." "John Wells, a.k.a. The Tonic, one of The Cross Movement's founding members, is poised to give his unique perspective on Life, Hip-Hop and modern Christianity with his release, The Dash. Multiple Dove Award nominations, a Stellar award nomination and a 1st place win on Amateur Night At the Apollo bear witness to the fact that he is no novice when it comes to using his art to impact this generation. With over 13 years in Christian hip-hop ministry, this solo project is definitely the fulfillment of a dream deferred for The Tonic.
For all of us, the two most important days in life are the Birth Date and the Death Date. But what is often overlooked is the "insignificant" dash that separates the two. This dash symbolizes the life lived, represents the worth of our existence on earth and determines the itinerary for the life to come. The Tonic uses this theme in his solo release to encourage a decision of belief in Christ and unadulterated service to God, while The Dash of our lives is still being etched." Big Words To Whom This May Concern: It is with much regret and shame that I inform you that the long anticipated album “The Dash” from John Wells-The Tonic will be postponed indefinitely. It is unfortunate that this project will most likely never see the light of day. There will be no more anticipated release dates, with the exception being that if there ever is another announcement of this project, the finished master and artwork will be simultaneously in hand at manufacturing. In various positions of leadership, people are often required to make sacrifices on behalf of the whole rather than just their own interest. Though I still think I have a lot to contribute as a solo artist, I have not been able to elevate that desire above the need and responsibility to my company, my community and my artists. Any good athletic coach would declare that the greatest job they can do is to put their players in the best position to make plays. I too have always tried to make sure that my staff and artists have the best platform that we can provide in order for them to effectively score for the Kingdom of God, and this is where I will still concentrate most of my effort. That being said, CMR is approaching its 10 year anniversary in 2007. We are gearing up for our biggest, most celebrated year yet with the release of many of our and the Christian Hip-Hop genre’s best selling artists (The Cross Movement, Da’ T.R.U.T.H., FLAME, J.R., and many others). It is my prayer that the shortcoming of this project and my inability to deliver, will not hinder our ability to continue to effectively co-labor with you in reaching this generation with quality Urban and Hip-Hop music and ministry. Again, I sincerely apologize to anyone this has affected. Please forgive me Provident (Executives and Sales Representatives alike), Retailers and Music Buyers, Radio representatives, Media representatives and anyone else who has been frustrated by these failed attempts. It was never my intention to do so. Thank you for you time and may the Lord bless you. Regretfully, John Wells- The Tonic Artist/President Cross Movement Records
