Alabaster Box

0 upcoming performances in New York

“Alabaster Box” sits at the center of CeCe Winans’ late-1990s pivot toward greater artistic control, arriving as an early statement on her own imprint and framed as a deliberate experiment in sound and collaboration. The song’s title draws on a Gospel-era image of costly devotion, translating private faith into public offering with pop-rock clarity. Heard now in the New York metro orbit, with a seasonal program at NJPAC days before Christmas, it underscores how contemporary gospel continues to move through the region’s mainstream concert circuit. The restraint in its writing lets the narrative carry the weight.
