Kelontae Gavin has released his third full-length album, Testify. The chart-topping hitmaker delivers an inspiring 15-track project that invites listeners on a profound and uplifting journey, exploring themes of faith, worship, and personal testimony. Among the featured tracks are the album’s first two singles, “Live Again” and “Good Love” (feat. Kim Burrell), “Take Rest,” among others. On the title track “Testify” penned by Kelontae, he reinforces the profound healing power of testimony.
Following the success of his award-winning 2021 album The N.O.W. Experience, Kelontae’s new album Testify showcases his ever-evolving musical style in worship, contemporary gospel, soul and country-inspired sounds and more as an artist, songwriter, musician and producer. Whether as a sole composer or co-writer on this album, other collaborators on this production with Kelontae included contributions from Jekalyn Carr, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Marquis Boone, Amber Smith, Pastor Kendall McDowell, as well as sharing three spoken real-life testimonies including one from Kelontae’s mother, Priscilla Smalls.
Kelontae says of Testify, “Testify is here to let people know that they are not alone, that others are going through their own storms.” Kelontae aims to empower his listeners with strength and comfort, knowing that everyone faces hardships and there is a community for all to get through their struggles.
