Acclaimed actress, NAACP Image Award nominee, and Grammy® Award nominated recording artist TAMELA MANN is set to release the BEST DAYS DELUXE EDITION CD on October 29 through her independent label Tillymann Music Group and Central South Distribution.
The deluxe version features 5 new recordings including 3 live versions of Best Days hits and two new songs.
“I want to thank all of my fans for their support of Best Days over the past year by releasing the deluxe edition, which includes live versions of some of their favorites from the CD and live shows along with a couple new tracks,” said Tamela. “This past year has been incredible, and I hope my music will continue to bless others.”
Best Days has been in the top five since its release over a year ago and #1 on Billboard’s Gospel sales chart for 22 weeks so far. “Take Me To The King” spent 25+ weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Gospel Radio Chart and is currently top 10 on the Urban AC radio chart.
The Best Days Deluxe Edition contains live versions of concert fan-favorites “Guest of Honor,” “Best Days,” and “Take Me To The King,” which is featured in a medley with “I Surrender All.” It also includes an updated version of the classic Kirk Franklin/Tamela Mann collaboration “Now Behold The Lamb” and newly released Gospel radio single “I Can Only Imagine.”
“‘I Can Only Imagine’ is the ultimate worship song,” said Tamela. “Every time I sing that song, I feel the presence of God take over the room. It’s the perfect addition to the Best Days Deluxe Edition.”
