The gold-selling, Grammy® award nominated crown prince of contemporary gospel music, John P. Kee, is planning to release his first full-length album since 2019’s I Made It Out. A release date has not yet been set for the massive 30+ track compilation, Throwback: An Evening with John P. Kee (Kee Music Group / Tyscot Records). However, Kee has just dropped a track and a music video from it on all digital music platforms. “Church Medley” is a fusion of Kee’s 1990s era standards “I Believe,” “I Won’t Let Go,” “It Will Be Alright,” “Thank You Lord (He Did It All)” and “He’ll Welcome Me.” In the video, Kee is seated at the piano, commanding the ecstatic audience with the combined charisma of a circus ringmaster and a singing psychologist who knows just the words to lift the spirits of his patients. It’s a joyous reminder of Kee’s heyday hits but with just enough freshening and sanctified zeal to attract new fans.

The staggering project was recorded over the course of a year (as Kee was treated for cancer and the bacterial infection necrotizing fasciitis) with stops through over two dozen cities. The tour concluded with the video recording at Harbison Theatre @ Midland Tech College in Irmo, SC this past January. A few weeks ago, Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI), the 80+ year old performing rights organization, honored Kee with its Trailblazer of Gospel Music Award for his four decades of gospel music hits as a singer, songwriter, producer and talent scout. Along the way, he’s amassed over half a billion digital streams, eight Grammy® Award nominations, numerous Stellar Gospel Music Awards, a R.I.A.A. certified gold album, and over two dozen chart hits such as “Jesus is Real,” “Show Up,” “Standing in the Need” and “Life and Favor.” Some upcoming dates:

May 2nd @ 7 PM – Warren AME Church, 915 Collingwood Blvd., Toledo, OH
May 3rd @ 6 PM – Corinthian Baptist Church, 1920 Tennessee Avenue, Cincinnati, OH
May 16th @ 7 PM – Nu Corinthian Baptist Church, 5935 W. 56th Street, Indianapolis, IN

Dallas, TX – April 16, 2025 – Marvin Sapp was recently in the news over a misinterpretation of his words while he was taking up offering at the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World 2024 National Convocation.  Sapp was vilified on the internet and received threatening messages at his church from people who were angry over a video clip that showed him telling the ushers to “close the doors.” 

After appearing on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell,CBS News Texas and WFAA Fort Worth to add context and clarity to the video clip, Sapp is now turning that “momentary affliction” into an affirming message with a new single titled “Close the Door.” 

In the song, written by Sapp and Kolten Perrine, and produced by Rodney East, Sapp recounts the harrowing last few weeks and sings:

Close the door on anxiety, on the pain and disdain that keeps chasing me, Close the door on the ridicule and on the noise that tries to make me lose my cool…God has a purpose, He will restore…Though I’m hurting, I’m still hoping, My victory is worth fighting for, So I close the door…

Sapp posted about the single on social media, saying “’Close the Door’ isn’t just a song, it’s a soundtrack for survival…I’m closing the door on the noise, the pain, and everything that tried to break me. This song will bless you. I believe with everything in me my assignment through this season through this song is to help you close the door too.” 

 “Close the Door” will be released Good Friday, April 18, 2025 and will be available to download and stream on all digital music outlets. 

“Believe in Jesus” is a heartfelt, mid-tempo acoustic anthem that boldly proclaims unwavering faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Grammy winning artist Doe joins Evvie on this instant classic. With its simple yet powerful lyrics and a melody that soothes the soul, this song invites listeners into a place of peace, reflection, and deep reverence for the sweet presence of God.

“When I wrote ‘Believe in Jesus‘, it all started from a conversation about how much the world glorifies everything made by God, except for God Himself,” Evvie McKinney says. “Believe in Jesus” is a personal declaration expressing that although the people of the world have progressed away from Christ, I will still stand and let the whole world know that I am the daughter of The King; Jesus of Nazareth, the Father of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In the past, I’ve been told many times to not say Jesus’ name in interviews and on television because it would offend people, well once the listener hears this song, there’s no doubt that you will walk away knowing who my allegiance is to. I pray that every person that listens to this song is spiritually hugged by the HolySpirit and becomes a sounding advocate for our Lord.”

Doe shares, “I loved getting to be part of this moment with Evvie! I’m so thankful for such a powerful declaration circulating throughout our digital airwaves. I BELIEVE IN JESUS.”

“ROLLING STONE LYRICS

I know it’s darkest before the dawn
And to your life you’re cling-ing on
But the tomb you face, is not the end
He can roll the stone away Jesus rolled the stone away
The weight of sin has kept you bound (Ooohh)
It seems like death is all around (Ooohh)
But he gave you power to speak life again
Jesus rolled the stone away
So you can roll the stone away
