Last month, Ricky Dillard — the “legend in his own right” (Flaunt Mag) — has shared his new album and sophomore release with Motown Gospel, Breakthrough: The Exodus. Accompanied by live recordings and video performances for each song, Dillard and his New Generation Chorale deliver breathtaking harmonies and dynamic range. In 2020, Dillard released the Grammy-nominated album Choirmaster, which he considers a “part one” of Breakthrough; he even goes on to describe the two releases as Sunday morning and Sunday night recordings, respectively. Having been an inspiration to artists ranging from Kirk Franklin to Kanye West, Breakthrough: The Exodus is Dillard’s latest and most exciting chapter in a career that spans three decades.
