Multi GRAMMY®-winning singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and keyboard master Cory Henry released two new singles “Burdens Down” (feat. Eric Gales) and “Go to God in Prayer” (feat. Dr. Janice McDonald, Cory’s Grandmother) on February 18th. The songs, which are available now with digital pre-order, are the first from his upcoming and first-ever Gospel album CHURCH.

The record, which features appearances from Raphael Saadiq, The Ton3, Robert Randolph, and gospel legends Donnie McClurkin, John P. Kee, Kierra Sheard and Kim Burrell also features two very special posthumous appearances by the late Bishop Carlton Pearson and Cory’s mother, Marie Henry, who taught him how to play music starting at two years of age.
Cory Henry’s musical genius was also recently showcased on the new PBS special “GOSPEL” the latest history series from Henry Louis Gates, Jr. which digs deep into the origin story of Black spirituality through sermon and song.
