After a brief hiatus due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Lena returned in 2021 with “Watch Me” at the top of the summer, and “W.O.W. (Walk On Water)” a few months later. While introducing Gospel fans to the feeling they could expect from her forthcoming album, Lena Byrd Miles was also being introduced to an even broader audience, thanks to two high-profile televised performances. In April 2021, she led Kanye West’s Sunday Service Choir in a moving rendition of The Clark Sisters’ classic ‘You Brought The Sunshine’ during BET’s broadcast of multi-platinum rapper and actor DMX’s homegoing service. And in March 2022, Lena was tapped to lead the choir performing Shirley Caesar’s “Heaven” as the soundtrack to the In Memoriam tribute at the 2022 Academy Awards.

“My debut album Brand New is full of “brand new” music from me. This album highlights different styles and I want to provide something for everyone to enjoy. Brand New will showcase some traditional, contemporary, and quartet sounds. I decided to be very transparent and share my personal story to connect with others. I never dreamed I’d be doing an album on the same label as Mary Mary & one that would be produced by Warryn Campbell. This entire process has been a fun, challenging, exciting and mind-blowing journey. I’m so grateful to God that He’s afforded me this opportunity. I am looking forward to all the “brand new” hearts this music will connect to and resonate with, as well as, their brand new testimonies. I absolutely point the glory to God for all the “newness” that is to come with Brand New,” says Miles.
