5x Grammy Award-winning artist Karen Clark Sheard has just released her new album, Still Karen. This album is one of her most versatile projects yet, and fans are sure to love the final product. 

Executive produced by Pharrell Williams and J. Drew Sheard II, this body of music will give fans all of the nostalgic feels of Sheard’s first record, Finally Karen, with songs produced by J. Moss, Mano Hanes, and Anthony Brown with Donald Lawrence as A&R Consultant.

“I wanted to pay homage to her first record when putting this album together…” says, Karew Records label head, J. Drew Sheard II. “Finally Karen was so iconic, so I brought back all of the major players that made record a hit and also added a few new contributors as well.” He continues, “I pray that when people listen to Still Karen, they can be equally blessed by the music and the message.

During the creative process it was important to us to create something that shines God’s love to anyone who listens and make it where it’s relatable to everyone.  With 14 tracks to choose from, I truly believe there’s a song for everyone.”

“I’m so grateful for the Karew team, everyone at Motown Gospel and all of the producers, writers, contributors, etc we’ve worked with to make this release happen,” says Clark Sheard. “It’s been a while since I’ve released a solo project and I wanted to make sure that it was a special one for the fans.

They have been asking for it, and I wanted to make sure that it was not only musically pleasing, but the message would cause someone to grow their faith in God. After listening to the album, if there’s even one person can say that they grew closer to God, overcame adversity or decided to keep trusting God more than before, then it will all be worth it.”

Christian artiste, Sola Adefurin‘s new single, “Get Up,” is a powerful call to action for all believers to rise up and take charge.

With its catchy melody and inspiring lyrics, the pop song encourages listeners to rise from complacency and step into their divine destiny. “It’s your time, you better get up,” Sola sings, reminding everyone that now is the time to embrace change and deliverance while delivering a message of hope and revival.

Get Up – Lyrics

Intro:

Get up, get up, get up…

Verse 1:

I heard about an ancient story

About the man at the pool of Bethesda

He’s been there for thirty eight years

Waiting on the angel to stir the water

Then one day, Jesus came passing by

And asked the man

Do you want to get well

Resp: Do you want to get well

Yeah……

Do you really, really want to get well

Ehh…, Ehh…

Chorus:

So

You better get up

Pick up your bed and walk

Don’t sit down there feeling sorry for yourself

Don’t you know you’ve got all that you need

To be and become all you really want to be

Get up

Pick up your bed and walk

Don’t sit down there feeling sorry for yourself

Don’t you know you’ve got all that you need

To be and become all you really want to be

Get up

When the band began the recording process in 2003, they had signed with a record label to release the collection of songs, preparing them for the biggest stages and audiences they’d ever known. But when their dream took a turn, and the record label dropped them, the rejection brought on fears and doubts like never before.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Beautiful Letdown, the band realizes just how important that rollercoaster was. “The journey of The Beautiful Letdown reminded us why we started playing music in the first place. It united us and gave us a deep appreciation for each other and the people that showed up to sing with us.”

Tim Timberlake, Greg Cox, and Kenneth Whalum release Moving Moments, Vol. 1. The official music video for “You’re Okay” also drops today. The track features Derrick Hodge and was written by Timberlake, Cox and Whalum.

Seyi Israel’s “No More Veil” is a contemporary gospel anthem that powerfully articulates the transformative nature of Christ’s redemptive work. The song’s core themes of liberation, redemption, and intimate communion with God are musically conveyed within the framework of God’s salvific plan.

Central to the song’s message is the biblical metaphor of a veil, traditionally symbolizing separation from God. However, “No More Veil” boldly asserts the believer’s new identity in Christ, characterized by unrestricted access to and fellowship with the divine. The lyrics, while simple, are theologically sound, drawing inspiration from Scripture, particularly Ephesians 2:13.

The song’s minimalist arrangement effectively highlights Israel’s vocals, conveying a potent message of spiritual freedom. Although the musical structure is repetitive, its uncomplicated melody and lyrics contribute to its worshipful nature. Ultimately, “No More Veil” fosters a profound sense of personal connection with God, emphasizing His constant companionship.

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will, they were created and have their being.” (Revelation 4:11)

Mirabel Ekezie’s new release is not just a song—it’s a call to worship, a reminder of the holy and sovereign God who reigns over all. “KODESH (Holy)” is now available on all major music streaming platforms.
