Fearless is the fifth album from multiple Stellar Award winning singer/songwriter Jonathan Nelson. GOSPELflava caught up with the worship leader and shared a few moments to talk about the new album, new label and other things.
GOSPELflava: Jonathan, bring us up to speed since our last conversation.
Jonathan Nelson: I signed with a brand new record company Eone Music, recorded and released a new CD entitled Fearless and it debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart. I told Eone when we started talking that I wanted to expand and I wanted to infiltrate the Gospel market with a stronger brand and a stronger sound, having a stand out kind of approach, and Eone helped me to do just that. Everything about this CD is me living out the word fearless, taking the risks, doing what I have never done before and being out the box so to speak. All of the background singers that are singing on the CD, we have never really worked together officially as a team, some of the background singers I had never met in person, the band had never really worked together, we maybe did one record together but not really as a team effort with the band or singers. I had never worked with Da Truth, Tye Tribbett, Kim, Dorinda or Sonnie Badu as it relates to partnering or collaborating on music, so that was completely different. I just took a leap of faith. I believed what God would do and His hand of approval is on it, so everything about this CD, there is no script for it, it is really me living out what fearless is in me. (more…)

A powerful performance at this year’s Stellar Awards Pre Show served as a perfect introduction to new music from Fearless, the fifth album from singer/songwriter and worship leader Jonathan Nelson. Nelson recorded his new CD last year at the Faith Center in Sunrise, Florida. The album features guest appearances from Da’ T.R.U.T.H., Pastor Kim Burrell, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Tye Tribbett, Sonnie Badu, and his twin brother Jason Nelson.
“I’m really excited about this new music. Each lyric is designed to increase our faith. High energy, deep impact and true inspiration from God is my ultimate goal. I pray that each listener would be bold, walk in faith, and simply BE FEARLESS.”
The CD is available for pre order on Amazon and iTunes and fans can catch Nelson live as he ministers on March 2nd during the iLead Escape Face2Face Worship Concert in Birmingham, AL.

To say that David Blakely is simply a musician would be a gross understatement. This talented yet humble individual has spent some 2 decades working with some of music brightest stars including Dorinda Clark Cole, LeAndria Johnson, Mama Sue Roseberry, Rev. James Moore, Gladys Knight, Natalie Cole, Mississippi Mass Choir, Kurt Carr, Edwin and Walter Hawkins and the list goes on. With the hymns of the church holding a special place in his heart, David sought to put his signature on the music that has been a guiding force in his life . Thus, the Hymnal (My Interpretation) was birthed.
Blakely, who serves in a number of capacities including the Chief Levite for the Church of God in Christ defines the project this way: “Music can transcend personal, social, and cultural boundaries. I am humbled that God chose me to bring unity, love, and joy through each instrumental and lyrical interpretation. At the end of the day, if I helped introduce someone to Christ or lifted them from whatever may be going on in life through the music God has birthed out of me, my labor is NOT in Vain”.
A CD Release event is scheduled for Friday, January 22nd with special guests to include Giloh Morgan, Nikki Potts (Kurt Carr Singers) and Lena Byrd Miles. The Hymnal (My Interpretation) will hit all digital outlets in the coming weeks.
