In Brief : BeBe & CeCe Winans, “Different Lifestyles,” Capitol.

BeBe (Benjamin) and CeCe (Priscilla) are a brother and sister duo who’ve evolved into commanding soul music stylists while remaining true to their gospel roots. Stalwart gospel purists might object to an appearance by labelmate M.C. Hammer on a funk-powered, rap-injected song called “The Blood,” but it’s just one of this album’s appealing highlights.
