“God has blown my mind during every step of my career,” says Sapp. “Partnering with Roc Nation to distribute my music is something that I would have never thought possible, yet it is another reminder that – as the scripture says – with God all things are possible. I’m excited about working with the Roc Nation team and my longtime friend Stanley Brown. Stanley wrote and produced on my 1999 album Nothing Else Matters and, while we’ve stayed connected, this is a full circle moment that I’m proud to be a part of. I look forward to releasing this new music; I believe it will be a blessing to all who hear it.”
Krystian Santini, President, Roc Nation Distribution, says “Marvin Sapp is a talented, award-winning artist whose impact spans generations. We are excited to work with Marvin and his team, welcome them to the Roc Nation Distribution family, and look forward to many more years, and projects together.”
The Roc Nation partnership with Marvin Sapp was brokered by Stanley Brown (Timeless Music Group) and TITLE 9.
“Timeless Music Group and TITLE 9 helped bring Roc Nation its first Grammy nomination in the gospel genre with the success of ‘God Is Good’,opening the door to build something meaningful in this space. That momentum led us to partner with legendary artists like Marvin Sapp, who are vital to the gospel music genre and to culture overall,” says Brown, producer and CEO of Timeless Music Group. “Our vision is to establish Roc Nation’s presence in the gospel/Inspirational space with the highest level of credibility, excellence, and cultural impact. Together, TMG, TITLE 9, and Roc Nation are building what we believe is the future of the genre and we are honored to have Marvin Sapp on this journey with us.”
When Sapp decided to record a new album, his only plan was to dispense the music God had given to him and his writers. As the songs came together, so did the theme that would become the album’s title: restoration. This new partnership with Roc Nation builds on that theme by strengthening Marvin Sapp’s distribution and marketing platforms to position Restoration for broader reach and deeper cultural impact.
“People who have enjoyed my music and my live recordings will absolutely enjoy this album. Lyrically, it is potent and consistent with songs that resonate with the hearts, the struggles and the triumphs of the human experience. Musically, it is a refreshing, current sound with a couple of unexpected treats,” says Sapp. The album was produced by Sapp’s longtime music director Curtis Lindsey and Sapp wrote most of the album. Additional songwriters including Lindsey, Stan Jones and Gus Lacy.
Restoration is Marvin Sapp’s ninth live recording and his 17th album overall.
