EMI Gospel Newcomer Kevin Vasser To Release Debut LP "So Glad" On September 26

EMI Gospel newcomer Kevin Vasser is illuminating churchgoers across the nation with his debut solo LP So Glad, a plentiful and rich live recording filled with every style of music. Slated for a September 26th release, this album marks the initial installment of a novel joint venture involving Vasser, his management company-- This Is What I Do Entertainment & EMI Gospel.

The Chicago native’s big break came during his trek as former lead singer of the Chicago-based gospel group Youth Edition, comprised of his brother and two cousins. So Glad is a direct reverberation of shimmering influences from celebrated artists Joe Ligon, Marvin Winans, Melvin Williams, among others. Over the years, the singer accumulated the aplomb and headship of a dynamic solo artist that clearly converted into a supreme debut release.

So Glad was recorded live in Vasser’s hometown of Chicago, IL at Pastor Charles Jenkins’ Fellowship Baptist Church where Vasser serves as the Director of Worship & Arts. Recording the album was a true authentication of faith for Vasser, who completed the entire project on his own before signing his current deal with EMI Gospel. “The whole evening was about me stepping out on faith …,’ says, Vasser. “Not only was it my first live recording as a solo artist. It was during that time – the worst season of my life – that God spoke to me. He told me I was going to move away from the group and it was time for me to do a live recording on my own. He was shifting my life and ministry in another direction.”

Beginning with a progressive upsurge of obliged musical anointing, the 10 track LP is a powerful ministerial offering epidemic that includes high oomph praise songs and exhilarating worship ballads. The title cut and lead single, “So Glad,” bursts with genuine conviction and thankfulness. The tried and true contemporary tune speaks to all of us who have received a second chance and showcases Vasser’s inspired vocals and superb production. Additional musically and lyrically impressive tracks comprise the declarative “Highest Praise,” and contemporary “Your Miracle,” mutually speaking an assertive and important message of the importance of not going to God empty handed, but with praise. Also, paying homage to his roots, Vasser offers fans some traditional Chi-Town “church.”
