Your Girls, Adriann, Ashley, Aundrea, and Kanika are back with a BANG! The 2x Stellar Award winners have managed life, marriage, school, and children to reunite to share with you their new single, “He’ll Be There”! In a late 2019/early 2020 conversation with Pastor, producer and broadcaster, Darin Freeman, I heard that RiZen was working on new music. Some time passed, the pandemic hit and I was unsure whether or not we’d ever hear music from these powerhouses again.
Alas, here we are and the ladies’ new single is already making an impact! Many thought that the group would never reunite after their initial hiatus. Adriann and Andrea made a brief return a few years ago but all four ladies have returned with their signature sound. Adriann has made waves as a solo artist and has placed on the Billboard charts with her powerful singles. We’ll have to catch up with the ladies to get the scoop on what they’ve all been up to and what has delayed the reunion. We know life happens and goes on after challenges and loss, but to see the women return to the studio to deliver this new single with more music to come is beyond inspiring.

Multiple award-winning Gospel superstar Marvin Sapp releases an impassioned new song and video with “Thank You For It All.” Available now at digital music providers and launched to Gospel radio, Sapp’s soaring voice is a reassuring balm on the track, thanking God for His ever-present guidance and providing strength to survive through difficulties and pain. The 11-time GRAMMY® Award nominated, 24-time Stellar Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, and producer, recorded “Thank You For It All” live earlier this year at his sold-out album recording at his new church, The Chosen Vessel Cathedral in Fort Worth, TX.
Marking his first new single since releasing his chart-topping GRAMMY® nominated album Close in 2017, “Thank You For It All” will be featured on his upcoming new album Chosen Vessel. The song was composed by Sapp, Jarmone Davis, Christopher Thomas Leach and frequent collaborator, GRAMMY® Award winner Aaron Lindsey.
“This song epitomizes the season we are in. Through the good and the bad, the ups and the downs, the pandemic and the protests, being people of God means we are rooted in thankfulness to our merciful Father, regardless of our circumstances.”
Bishop Marvin Sapp
In addition to his new single and upcoming album, Marvin Sapp is also featured on the recently released star-studded charity single “Come Together,” created by GRAMMY®-winning hit maker Rodney Jerkins and benefiting COVID-19 relief efforts. Sapp also made a surprise appearance on Verzuz – The Healing, singing his enduring classic “Never Would Have Made It.” He joined Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond, and Bishop T.D. Jakes for the celebrated May 31st special edition of the hit Instagram live series created by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland.
“Lately the world’s been goin crazy. Hate divides, but love’s the one thing that unifies,” expresses singer/songwriter, Carl Brister, on his socially conscious new single “L.O.V.E. (What The World Needs).” Layered against his signature mix of lush harmonies, warm tones, and high falsetto, L.O.V.E. is a retro soul throwback song with a message that penetrates the soul, touches the heart, and brings people together.
Inspired by Marvin Gaye’s timeless classic, “What’s Goin’ On,” Carl Brister’s “L.O.V.E.” asks important questions about the state of the world and explores the similar issues that Gaye sang about when he released “What’s Goin’ On” nearly 50 years ago – police brutality, education, voting, and discrimination. Although the questions are the same, Carl offers L.O.V.E. as the solution!
He first came to national attention when his previous singles “Turning Point,” and “Let’s Go Back” were featured on NBC, BET, Pandora, Music Choice, Spotify, and more. He describes his sound as “Free Music” that combines elements of Soul, R&B, Pop, and Dance in a retro fusion that takes you back while moving you forward.
A husband and proud father of two sons, Carl grew concerned about the rise of police brutality and broadening racial divide throughout the country. Using music to bring people together, in 2016 he founded The Love+Unity Fest, a free family event created to inspire unity in the community. The festival is packed with LIVE musical performances, food trucks, vendors, and activities for kids in his current hometown of West Orange, NJ. “With the divisiveness increasing throughout our nation, I felt the urge to create an event that brings people together and The Love +Unity Fest was created. We started in New Jersey and are planning to take the Love+Unity Tour to communities throughout the country to promote the message that LOVE is so needed today.”
His new single, “L.O.V.E.” will be released in the Spring of 2020 on all online platforms including iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, and more. “Everything begins and ends with L.O.V.E.! It’s what we all need!”

“I wanted the video to reflect the actual lyrics of the song. I wanted to take it back to the time where videos had storylines and you felt what you were watching. This song was penned for all of us that have actually made the mistake of stepping out on your partner and then you realize that your partner’s love is worth fighting for and you are willing to do anything possible to get it back.”
