Anthony Brown & group therAPy Release First Album In Four Years Titled ‘Affirmations’

The Gospel music supergroup with over 700 million digital streams, Anthony Brown & group therAPy, released its first full-length album in four years today.

Their sixth oeuvre, Affirmations (Key of A / Tyscot / FairTrade), is a dozen soul-stirring tracks that showcase the dynamic outfit’s polished grasp of contemporary gospel music with sly touches of Classical, Hip-Hop, Pop, Pentecostal, and even Celtic flavoring.

The first radio single, “Speak Your Name,” an enthralling anthem of praise, rises to No. 4 on this week’s Billboard Gospel Airplay chart.

Affirmations are personal. “Some of the emotional, mental, financial supports that I’ve grown accustomed to seem to be more quiet than normal,” Brown confesses. “I believe there are seasons where God quiets the things that typically rescue us. There are Biblical examples where different people encouraged themselves.

King David had to strengthen himself in the Lord. I wanted to do a project that spoke to that season for people who feel like right now they aren’t getting the support [they are used to receiving].

I wanted to remind them that you have all you need. The power of death and life is in your tongue, and you can speak and encourage yourself with the word of God. This project is a record full of things that you should speak over your own self every single day.”

Brown’s longtime collaborator Justin Savage (Kirk Franklin, Israel Houghton), and keyboardists Darryl Woodson, and William McMillan, (Travis Greene, Tasha Cobbs Leonard) each co-produced various tracks with Brown for the project.

The set is a mix of ballads and contemporary grooves anchored by the group’s exquisite classically trained voices.

Gospel legend,  Kierra Sheard Kelly, squalls on the coda  of “Grace,” and Justin Savage’s pre-teen son Zach Savage, opens “Up Up Up” with a refrain from the Civil Rights anthem,  “This Little Light of Mine.”

With Brown’s husky emcee tone, heartfelt lyrics, and the group’s classically trained vocals; it’s no surprise they are the most successful gospel group of the last decade with megahits such as “Trust in You,” “I Got That,” and “Blessings on Blessings.”

Aside from their 700 million streams, there are eleven Billboard Top Ten singles and four No. 1 hits. The R.I.A.A. gold-certified track, “Worth,” spent 24 weeks at the apex of the Billboard Gospel Airplay chart in 2015.

There are three GRAMMY award nominations, six Billboard Music Award nominations, and several ASCAP  Rhythm and Soul Music Awards. “I’m just grateful for all the support fans have given us over the years,” Brown adds. “They have affirmed us and that’s a tremendous feeling.”

FAITHFUL Releases New Single “How Long”

FAITHFUL’s new single, “How Long,” is based on Psalm 94, a scriptural passage that may seem dark and vengeful at first, but from which writers Leslie Jordan, Ann Voskamp, and Trillia Newbell brought forth honest worship. Leaning into the frustration and confusion expressed in this Psalm, FAITHFUL created a protest song, telling of our longing for God’s justice.

In our unsettled world, “How Long” gives language to the common wondering about God’s presence and doubts about his intervention. With raw honesty that mirrors that of the Psalmist, FAITHFUL gives listeners a song when they are in desperate need of one.

Musician and Songwriter Billy Powell Releases New Ep the Invitation – A Three Part Music and Worship Experience

Hartford, CT —  Musician William A. Powell is a producer, songwriter, and highly sought-after drummer in Gospel and Jazz.  William, better known as Billy Powell, also carries a mantel from a family with legendary musical influence. His father is the late Pastor Hubert L. Powell (of Hubert Powell and The Gospel Truth), and his musical brothers are H. Doobie Powell and Kevin Powell.  While continuing to uphold the family legacy of phenomenal musicians, Billy has carved his own lane in music and has again released new music that is a sonic tapestry of innovative creativity.

Billy Powell & his 1 Church collective have a new EP called THE INVITATION.  This unique EP is one song experience in three parts or movements.  “The Invitation Part 1” features Indya Thompson and Joshua Freeman, whose soothing vocals float over Powell’s dreamy instrumentation.  

Billy adds Steph One to Thompson and Freeman’s vocal work in “The Invitation Part 2.”  He also unleashes his creativity in Part 2 with a sizzling electric guitar and a rap segment that vibes with a bit of club bounce.  Billy then flows right into “The Invitation Part 3,” a worshipful moment proceeded by an organ serenade offering the listener a moment to meditate and bask in the presence of the Lord.  

“The inspiration behind this song came from the many people who, during the height of the pandemic, had a tough time getting into the presence of the Lord while we were unable to frequent the physical church building,” Billy states.  “The lyrics were done in such a way to invoke His presence right where you are, giving Him the invitation to your heart, at home, on the job, or in the car.  Ultimately, I want people to know His presence will manifest wherever He is invited.”

THE INVITATION is available now on all digital music outlets and independently released on Billy’s Church 120 Music label.  With the release of THE INVITATION, Powell has embarked on a philanthropic campaign that is very personal and purposeful. Billy and his wife Joi Nicole were diagnosed with different forms of cancer at the same time in February 2021.  By December, his father, Pastor Hubert L. Powell, passed away, and after multiple treatments, Joi’s cancer returned. While in treatments and extended hospital stays, Billy and Joi begin to think about the many people who give up when dealing with life-altering medical issues without a proper support system around them. Together, they formed Allen Nicole Foundation in November of 2022 to offer hope and help to those in need. Sadly, Joi passed away this year in May. 

Billy is forging fearlessly and faithfully ahead with music and with the foundation, merging the two to create his Music and Health Concert Series.  With a successful concert series introduction and launch in September, Billy will announce more dates and information about his new partnership with Be The Match®, the global leader in bone marrow transplantation. Billy and Be The Match® will embark on a musical mission to help patients find their life-saving marrow donors and provide support throughout the transplant process.
