Throughout the month of June, Amazon Music has invited some of the most exciting Black artists across a wide spectrum of genres to record a new collection of brand-new Amazon Originals songs. Debuting Fridays in June, the series kicks off today with a brand-new cover of “Falling in Love with Jesus” from two-time GRAMMY®-nominated gospel artist Koryn Hawthorne. A soulful take on Jonathan Butler’s gospel classic, the song can be heard exclusively on Amazon Music on the Gospel Now playlist. Fans can hear acclaimed R&B artist serpentwithfeet’s cover of Labi Siffre’s “Bless the Telephone” now, which was released as a part of Black Music Month and Pride. Next Friday, soulful singer/songwriter Yola will deliver a reimagined version of her recent single, “Diamond Studded Shoes.”
“This song is so special to me because it’s what I live for. Regardless of life’s circumstances the love and comfort of Jesus has pulled me through,” said Koryn Hawthorne. “Releasing this song during Black Music Month is also important to me because Gospel music is the foundation of Black American music, and the message is a reminder of healing and strength.”
