Gospel Superstar Erica Campbell Inspires Listeners To Embrace Joy On New Single “Feel Alright (Blessed)”

Multi-platinum rising Gospel legend, Erica Campbell, is kicking off the new year with a bright, sunny new single celebrating and offering listeners the opportunity to share in the joy she’s found in life. Arriving Friday, January 13, 2023, the new single “Feel Alright (Blessed)” is an up-tempo affirmation of the power you find in choosing joy even when life is messy and unpredictable. In addition to her new single and Grammy Nomination, the My Block Records Recording Artist is celebrating her nomination for the 2023 NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Gospel/Christian Song for her chart-topping single, “Positive.”

Erica immediately sets the tone with the song’s opening chorus, making it clear that what she feels is a choice, singing, “Today I feel alright, and ain’t nothing gonna bring me down… ‘Cause I’m blessed.” The song’s infectious hook is supported by two verses in which she makes it clear that she knows exactly where the source of her joy lies. The song also reinforces Erica’s desire to make sure everyone listening understands that this kind of joy is accessible to all with lyrics like, “I’m giving You the glory, ‘cause you’ve been good to me. No, I ain’t gon’ be selfish, can’t keep it all for me. I want the world to know, I’m living life to show.”

While “Feel Alright (Blessed)” leans heavily into contemporary Soul and R&B genres, the song reminds fans of the level of vocal command and expertise that has made Erica Campbell a star in the Gospel world. The song will be available for purchase and streaming on all digital music platforms.

The new single follows the release of “Positive,” which became Erica’s first solo No. 1 single at Gospel radio when it topped both Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart and the Mediabase Gospel Radio chart in August 2022. The song also became her latest single to crack the Top 10 on Billboard’s US Gospel Chart and spent 22 weeks in the Top 20 Billboard’s Hot Gospel Songs chart - a hybrid chart that includes radio, streaming and digital downloads.

In addition to her continued success as a music artist, Erica Campbell also touches fans’ lives as the host of the syndicated morning radio show, Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell. Currently available in 40 markets nationwide, the show sets a new bar for syndicated morning programming by creating a high-energy experience for listeners through a range of music styles, powerful interviews, lively features and a fresh approach on news and listener engagement.

Otis Redding Foundation Releases Musical Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Available Today

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday, the Otis Redding Foundation is releasing a new song, “Show Love,” written and produced by students ages 12-18, who attended the Otis Music Camp at the height of the pandemic in 2020. The song is based on a sermon “Loving Your Enemies” which Dr. King delivered at Dexter Baptist Church in Montgomery, AL on November 17, 1957, and includes a live excerpt of the sermon. Dexter Baptist Church is a designated historic landmark and boasts significant African American history since its opening in 1887. Much of Montgomery’s early civil rights activity, most famously the 1956 Bus Boycott, was directed by Dr. King from his office in the lower level of the church.

“We are always proud of the students who participate in the music camps that the Otis Redding Foundation offers each year,” stated Karla Redding-Andrews, Vice-President, Executive Director. “This song was recorded during the 2020 pandemic in the virtual Otis Music Camp, OMC 2.0 using Soundtrap by Spotify Digital audio workstation. It represents the love and respect these young people have for Dr. King during the height of the “pandemic,” a word they had never heard before.”

The young people who wrote and performed “Show Love” are Sharina Cody, Daylen Clowers, Trevor Hudson, Ella Smith, Jayden Tolbert, and produced by Saxton Keitt, Isaac Gibson and Reese Soul.

“My husband believed in giving young people an opportunity to grow through music. Our camps inspire them to write, perform, produce, and play instruments,” stated Zelma Redding, Founder and President. “We are excited about the new Otis Redding Center for the Arts which broke ground in Macon in September 2022. We will be able to expand our programs and allow more young people to grow their musical talents.
