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
