Fred Hammond’s upcoming release Love Unstoppable is on its way to becoming another hit for the celebrated architect of urban praise and worship before it’s official Sept. 29th release. This week, "They That Wait" officially becomes a Top-10 radio hit, reaching the #9 spot with a bullet. Additionally, the CD is #10 on iTunes’ Christian/Gospel album chart.
Due out this week on the Verity Gospel Music label, Hammond’s latest CD is lyrically rich and sonically brilliant with musical textures that incorporate driving bass lines, R&B rhythms and jazz stylings. The first single, "They That Wait" featuring John P. Kee, has been a radio favorite all summer and shows no signs of slowing down. The CD also includes the gems "Find No Fault", "Lord How I Love You" and, what Hammond calls his personal testimony, "Lost in You Again." Having gained critical acclaim in the early 80’s as a founding member of Gospel’s famed ensemble Commissioned, Fred Hammond created a new sound in the genre that distinguished him as the "Architect of Urban Praise and Worship." Now nearly thirty years later, he continues to be the leader of the pack.
