Gospel powerhouse Jekalyn Carr has officially launched her latest studio album, Jekalyn X The Legends, which dropped on November 7, 2025 via the imprint WayNorth Music. The 12-track collection clocks in at approximately 45 minutes and showcases a bold creative vision that bridges today’s worship-movement with the enduring legacies of gospel greatness.

From the opening “Legends Intro” through to the bonus track “Don’t Faint”, the project aims to both honor the past and inspire the present. Furthermore, tracks such as “I Will Come Through” (with Yolanda Adams) and “You Are Able” (featuring BeBe Winans and The Williams Brothers) highlight Carr’s commitment to musical mastery.

With guest appearances from stalwarts such as John P. Kee, Shirley Caesar, Karen Clark‑Sheard, and others, the album is a testament to Jekalyn‘s evolution in the gospel industry.

Award-winning gospel artist Tye Tribbett has shared a fresh new single titled “Holy You (FrĒligious)”, featuring a guest appearance by Jamaican dancehall artist DJ Nicholas. The song, infused with reggae-inspired rhythms, was officially released on October 24, 2025, under Freligious Music.

In “Holy You (FrĒligious),” Tye Tribbett celebrates the freedom found in faith, giving full credit to God for that liberation. Although DJ Nicholas’ contribution is brief, consisting mainly of ad-libs rather than a full verse, his distinct voice adds an authentic Caribbean touch to the track. The song is now available on all streaming platforms.
