CHART-TOPPING GOSPEL TRIO G.I. NEW ALBUM “WINNING” AVAILABLE NOW

Published

“Pray And Don’t Worry” is one of the hottest gospel songs of 2017. The inspiring urban-flavored track with the trap drum loop and slick vocals scorched its way to the Top Ten on Billboard Magazine’s prestigious Gospel Airplay and Hot Gospel Songs charts. It’s also earned the Richmond, Virginia-based trio known as G.I. its first Stellar Gospel Music Award nomination earlier this year but this is no overnight success story. Over a period of years, the group has endured personnel changes, broken promises from record industry leaders and growing pains within the gospel music genre itself. In spite of it all, G.I. has played the game well and is now winning. G.I.’s new album Winning (BGA Music Group/Shanachie) is available now. The group’s highly anticipated third album features their new single “We Win” as well as a cameo from TV One’s R&B Diva, Keke Wyatt. “All the songs have a similar theme as far as the elements we need to win in every aspect of life,” says Branden Anderson, the group’s mellow mastermind and co-founder. “Whether it be your spiritual life, on your job, or in your marriage. These songs all deal with some level of winning.”

Winning showcases G.I.’s growth from the Boyz who delivered fun tracks such as “Get Up” early in their career to the thought-provoking Men who now push the musical envelope while inspiring their fans to increase their faith and to become winners in this game called life. G.I is without a doubt, one of the hottest up-and-coming artists charting new directions for gospel. So, what does the future hold for G.I.? “I really see us continuing to do what we’ve done but becoming better at it,” Lamonte says. “I think every album shows our personal growth. I think we’ll continue to be a voice for people who are not traditionally churched, and they don’t want to move from a Chris Brown to a Shirley Caesar track. That’s not an easy transition. Our whole vision is to make an impact on people and to let them know this whole church thing isn’t boring. It can still be fun. That’s our mission.”
