Chevelle Franklyn wants you to Testify! (@chevellfranklyn)

Posted on September 3, 2022 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

As we celebrate Gospel Heritage Month this September, Chevelle Franklyn joins an incredible lineup of artists for Gospel Heritage, the brilliant new project from Platoon.

The playlist features brand new music from: Sinach, Tim Godfrey, Bishop John Francis, Becca Folkes, Sarah Teibo, Volney Morgan, Lurine Cato, Juanita Francis, Sharyn and Isaiah Raymond.

The “No Foreign God” singer offers Testify, a gospel-reggae, praise and worship song that she’s performed all around the world but never recorded! With a lot of demand for the song to be made available on streaming platforms; it’s finally here!

Chevelle says: “Testify expresses Faith in God while waiting for the miracle. God is a God of timing, just when you think it’s over, He will turn it in your favor. That testimony you’ve been waiting for you will see it.”

Testify by Chevelle Franklyn is available on all streaming platforms as of Friday, September 2, 2022.
