Blessing and Blessing, the gospel debut from Greg Freeman, whose gospel material -- up to this point -- had been recorded by other artists, released on December 28, 2018. This exciting, long overdue project was produced by southern gospel veteran Art Bain, with select tracks co-produced with GMA Dove Award winners Babbie Mason and/or Phil Cross. Additionally, the EP features two duets, one with Babbie Mason, the other with GMA Gospel Music Hall of Fame inductee Calvin Newton! Freeman says, "I am very thrilled that I got to work with several of my friends who are not only enormously gifted in their own right but they were committed to supporting me and helping me sound my best on this project! I feel so blessed, and I hope this project reminds listeners to live out their faith with a greater spirit of gratitude. The songs have certainly spoken to me, and reminded me of just how good our God is! He just keeps on blessing and blessing, showering me with His love, mercy and grace, even though I do not deserve it."
Be sure to check out the project at Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, Pandora, Amazon and more!
