Dallas, TX – April 18, 2024 – Gospel music enthusiasts and fans of Marvin Sapp are in for a treat as the renowned artist announces his plans to record his 16th album live in Chicago. Scheduled for May 31, this event marks a significant milestone in Sapp’s illustrious career, which has seen a consistent stream of hits and transformative gospel music.
Marvin Sapp, a staple in the gospel music industry, is known for his powerful live recordings that captivate and inspire his audience. His remarkable track record includes seven consecutive #1 albums released between 2007 and 2022, a testament to his enduring influence and artistry in the gospel music scene.
The upcoming live recording event will take place at Valley Kingdom Ministries, a location chosen by Sapp for its vibrant atmosphere and supportive audience. “Chicago has always been a great market for me. It’s been a while since I’ve been there, so when I decided to record this album live, I thought it was the perfect time to return,” Sapp expressed, highlighting his connection with the city and its people.
Sapp’s previous live-recorded albums, such as the platinum-selling Thirsty, Here I Am (2010), You Shall Live (2015), and Chosen Vessel (2020), have not only been commercial successes but have also added rich layers to the world of gospel music. These albums showcase his ability to transform live energy into recordings that resonate with people around the world.
“Live recordings are a unique experience because you get to feed off of the energy in the building,” Sapp noted. “Sometimes a song will take on a life of its own because of how it shifts the atmosphere and how people respond to it. Recording live is very special, and I’m excited about what will happen on May 31.”
This new album, expected to be released in early fall, follows his successful album, Substance, which featured two #1 singles. It promises to continue the tradition of delivering heartfelt, powerful music that reaches deep into the souls of its listeners.
