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

The song “Pray For Me,” is a bluesy, organ-driven, testimony-telling track that relies on the gritty, syncopated rhythms and raw vocals bringing you all the way back.

“I feel as though all I’ve been through what has been a tremendous preparation for me,” says Vasser. “My father always taught me to not be an entertainer but a minister of the Gospel. I am really trying to make sure that through my music and ministry, people are touched to go in the right direction.”

It is part of EMI Group, the world's largest independent music company whose other U.S. labels include Angel, Astralwerks, Blue Note, Capitol, Capitol Nashville, EMI Latin, Narada and Virgin Records.

A Moment With Kevin Vasser:

Kevin Vasser is the new name and face in Gospel music but his voice holds a remarkably familiar dynamism that refreshes our memories of what a great Gospel voice should sound like. Today, he introduces himself to the music world with his debut release. And … in the tradition of the great vocalists, Kevin Vasser embodies the intrinsic essence of Gospel music.

Often the things that have palpable emotion are things that are tied to a personal situation or story. As is the case with So Glad, a work that is driven by Vasser’s personal testimony -- a testimony full of God’s faithfulness, promise and healing. This bona fide ‘church guy’ shares his journey – musically - from former leader of Chicago-based gospel group Youth Edition, to preacher to solo artist.

When asked to describe himself, Vasser uses the word heartfelt. “I am a heartfelt singer, you can feel all the emotions and love I have for Christ when I am singing,” he said. “It’s soulful … it truly comes from my soul and heart … everything I have on the inside, I lay it all out when I sing.”

“I know God has anointed me in all styles,” continued Vasser. “I stay in a place with God where the anointing supersedes any gift or talent … I try to stay in the anointing and he has allowed me to understand who I am and what my ministry is. I thrive on the fact that I can touch on anything and to have something for the seasoned saints, the young people … for everyone. I really think we accomplished that on this project.”
