“Let It Rain is more than a song—it’s an invitation into a space of surrender, where listeners can release what they’ve been carrying and receive peace, strength, and encouragement,” states Theresa.
“Let It Rain” is the first single from her new album IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU: Chapter II, released by Blacksmoke Music Worldwide. IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU: Chapter II is available now on all digital music outlets.
“It’s All About You” is a breath of fresh air to the world-at-large because it captures Theresa’s heartfelt passion for ministry and undeniable power and anointing that is released as she expresses herself on her instrument,” says Earnest Pugh. “I have watched her captivate audiences for many years, so to collaborate with her is a distinct honor. As you listen to this incredible body of work, be prepared to experience an outpour of God’s spirit.”
Theresa’s song selections reflect different moments of her personal journey, from worship to celebration and victory. The 10-track album features her brilliantly arranged covers of some of Gospel’s hits and favorites, including “The Best Is Yet To Come” (Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers), “Break Every Chain” (Tasha Cobbs Leonard), and “Nobody Greater” (VaShawn Mitchell).
“This album is very personal and spiritual for me as it represents faith, healing, gratitude, and growth through every season of life,” states the saxtress. “Creatively, this album is a powerful fusion of Gospel Jazz, Soul, Inspirational music, and contemporary Jazz influences, all blended into one explosive musical experience. The saxophone instrumentation carries the heart of the project, while the amazing background vocals bring life, color, depth, and emotion to every song. Each arrangement was intentionally crafted to create a rich atmosphere that feels uplifting, soulful, and spiritually connected.”
With IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU: Chapter II, every melody, every vocal layer, and every musical moment was created to minister to people in a real way. Theresa expresses. “My prayer is that listeners not only hear the music, but feel the spirit, the passion, and the purpose behind every note.”
