Last August Tillymann Music Group published Tamela Mann‘s twelve-track album titled Overcomer. According to Mann, the project’s name was chosen because it encompasses the way she was feeling at the time.

When it came out she had recently recovered from double-knee replacement surgery and was also getting over other personal issues. Feeling like a conqueror, she poured her heart into all the songs we now enjoy on Overcomer.

A few days ago Tamela took to social media to announce that she will be dropping the deluxe edition of Overcomer. She promises six new songs including Superheroes Prayer – done with Yolanda Adams, and live versions of Help Me featuring Tim Rogers and The Fellas, He Did It For Me, Final Answer and Finished. Overcomer Deluxe Edition will be released in July, 2022.

Dancehall-gospel artist Jimmy Fagan – born Tweedsmuir Fagan – hails from Portmore, a city located on the south coast in the Parish of St. Catherine, Jamaica. He’s been in love with music since as far back as he can remember, and had always desired to be a recording artist.

That said, he made his professional debut in 2005 with the single Read Your Bible, a song done with singer Gerry Chosen. The track did exceptionally well, subsequently resulting in Fagan and his team recording and releasing numerous records.

In May 2021 he shared his first full-length album titled Tell the Story, Vol. 1. The thirteen-track project, which received rave reviews, raised his profile significantly within the Jamaican gospel arena. The release of Tell the Story, Vol. 1 was followed by several visuals aimed at supporting the LP.

The momentum that began in 2021 continued in 2022. Jimmy Fagan, who is signed to the Basco House Production label, was featured on their dancehall-gospel compilation, Touched By An Angel Riddim, published in January. Fagan‘s song is called Mi God Nuh Dead. A month later he was featured on the OverFlow Riddim, produced by Zion Track Records Production; with the song That’s Faith.

Jimmy Fagan is now engaged in an intensive promo campaign as he works on his goal, which is to continue to make good music that will enable others to see the impact and importance of God’s love for us through the gospel.
