“I think there’s something musical and inspiring for everyone on this album – it’s full of hope and encouragement that I think we can all use right now,” shares Danny Gokey. “In the writing process and also in choosing the title, I was inspired by the life of Jesus and how his presence was a vital part of history. He was a figure who brought together the broken, the hurting and those who had lost their dreams in a unifying way, and that’s something I’m inspired to do. Musically, I was able to explore new things and cross genre boundaries. I’m excited for listeners to hear the collaborations with the special guests on the project, which include gospel, Latin and even a little rap. It’s something I love doing and hope to do more of in the future.”
Jesus People features songs with artists such as Koryn Hawthorne (“We All Need Jesus”), the Spanish song with Christine D’Clario (“Cristo Es Necesario”) and Angie Rose (“Do For Love”), and the album’s flagship song “Stand In Faith” was added to radio, becoming the most added single of its kind. Above all, throughout the project, Gokey’s songs touch on love, gratitude, and truth.
“Jesus said they would know us by our love,” says Gokey, one of the album’s recurring themes. “What is love? Love is patient, love is kind, love is long-suffering, love doesn’t envy. It doesn’t seek self. I think the best way to show love is to live love. People can say ‘I love you’ all the time, but I can tell by your actions how you really feel. I think love is key. Love is what fuels and changes things and really meets people where they are with no strings attached.”
Last week, Gokey’s new single “Stand In Faith” hit radio airplay and was the most added single of its kind. The song will be featured on the upcoming album. Jesus People follows his highly successful 2019 release Haven’t Seen It Yet. That project produced the new RIAA-certified Gold single of the same name, which was his second career Gold single and his fifth No. 1 radio single.
In line with many of the messages in his songs, Gokey continues to give back to the community as he has done since the beginning of his career, which began during his time on “American Idol” during season eight as a Top 3 finalist. His foundation, Better than I found itis a nonprofit organization created to support and encourage other nonprofits that are making a difference in their community.
