Gospel superstar Marvin Sapp is set to deliver his long-awaited 10th solo LP ‘You Shall Live’ on June 2nd, courtesy of RCA Inspiration.

“I was in a very transparent space when I recorded this album.” “I wanted to deliver something that was going to encourage those who are in the valleys of their lives, to let them know I get it. I know what it feels like to have your heart ripped out of your chest. But, I also needed them to know that no matter the heartbreak, God’s got us and even the most painful experience can be overcome.” – Marvin Sapp

    Just purchased the Tina Campbell album! I watched Mary Mary’s last season and I didn’t even know the album was out! O_o I just want to support her because I respect her talent, but also love her spirit. She’s not perfect, but she’s being her best self! I wish her well. I already know I’ll enjoy the music!

  4. LeauxSeaux May 25, 2015

    Can we talk about the fact that Tina’s album is in the top 5 on iTunes overall chart, though? Like, right behind Taylor Swift. Just let that marinate… Slaying with gospel! #werk

  5. TheElusiveLamb May 25, 2015

    I agree that Tina’s bun is wrong, but the glory of that album! I knew she was going to bring it, but I had no idea that she was going to slay to the high heavens like she did. I love every song. Amazing body of work.

    Thank you ThatGrapeJuice for this article… Glad Marvin Sapp and Tina Campbell released albums this year… and you are acknowledging all of the other contributors to Gospel as well. I had no idea Lamar Campbell and spirit of praise were the the worshippers behind “I love you Jesus/More than anything”. That is one of my top favorite gospel songs of all time. 🙂 Thank you for The info!
