Chosen and Anointed: Zacardi Cortez’s ‘IBHAR: HE THAT IS CHOSEN’

Multi-award-winning singer-songwriter-producer Zacardi Cortez is set to release his highly anticipated EP, “IBHAR: HE THAT IS CHOSEN”, this Friday, May 9th. The project, which will be available on all streaming and download platforms, promises to be a masterpiece of gospel music. The lead single, “WORK IT OUT FOR ME”, is a powerful anthem that showcases Zacardi’s vocal range and emotional depth. Written by Travis Malloy and produced by Morgan Turner, the song is a testament to Zacardi’s ability to connect with music that speaks to his soul.

The 7-song EP is a reflection of Zacardi’s journey to understanding what it means to be chosen by God. Born into a life of hardship and lack, Zacardi learned early on about the keeping power of Jesus. This experience has inspired him to craft a masterful body of work that features some of the biggest names in gospel music, including Jekalyn Carr, Chrystal Rucker, Jason Nelson, and Jonathan Nelson. One of the standout tracks is “It’s Gonna Happen” featuring Jekalyn Carr, which Zacardi wrote specifically for her powerful voice.

Another highlight of the EP is “Matthew 4:4” featuring Chrystal Rucker. The song is inspired by Zacardi’s childhood experience of going to an empty fridge and being told by his mother to read Matthew 4:4. Written by his oldest sister Nesha Cortez, the song shares about Zacardi’s early chapter of life and the lessons he learned about trusting in God’s provision. With “IBHAR: HE THAT IS CHOSEN”, Zacardi Cortez is set to deliver a powerful message of hope and faith that will resonate with listeners around the world.
