New in Gospel (Must Haves in your Collection)


Bishop Paul S. Morton Sr. – Best Days Yet (Nov. 13th)
  • Bishop sings.  Those two words are synonymous with now Atlanta-based pastor/songwriter/author, Bishop Paul S. Morton Sr. As the leader of the Full Gospel Baptist Fellowship, Bishop’s style of singing has been revered for decades.  This latest project highlights the best of his singing and great collaboration.  Best Days Yet features his friend (and the voice that unlike any other in gospel music) Pastor Marvin L. Winans, the legendary Karen Clark Sheard, and Morton’s children – Jasmine and P.J.  (P.J. Morton is currently signed to Young Money and has been an award-winning producer and artist in his own right – a favorite artist of mine personally).  This album really needs no publicity; it speaks for itself.


Joshua Rogers – Well Done (Dec. 4th) 
  • Winner of the latest season of BET hit show, Sunday’s Best, Joshua Rogers readies his audience with the freshman release of his album Well Done.  The gospel community, at large is ready to hear strong yet controlled and mature album rendering.  I know that producers of freshman projects often recreate songs that we already have heard, at low quality. However, we hope that Joshua breaks this cycle and gives us something memorable and worth mention to close out this year’s gospel releases.


Tasha Cobb – Break Every Chain (Nov. 27th)
  • Labeling her sophomore project after monster California-based Jesus Culture hit, Tasha Cobb is continuing in the vein of remaining a worship leader.  One of the things that is most endearing about her gift is that she stays true to what she does, and does it with proficiency and excellence. She has far surpassed expectation with her debut project, Smile.  Worship leaders from all over have covered the title track – including Jonathan Nelson, when he infused it with “Better is One Day”. When you hear this album, expect a continuation of songs that are so on-time, yet remain authentically worship.
