JACKIEM JOYNER MAKES HIS GOSPEL MUSIC DEBUT WITH ‘CHURCH BOY’ RELEASING IN STORES TODAY
Chart-topping contemporary smooth jazz artist and producer Jackiem Joyner releases his highly anticipated Gospel music debut “Church Boy” in stores today, via Artistry Music/Mack Avenue record label.
The 11-track LP is a transparent and honest testament of Joyner’s faith. “Church Boy” reaches back to Joyner’s roots and reignites his faith bringing together his beloved jazz and his foundational gospel music.
This is reflected in the varying styles, from the whimsical sound evident on the Kirk Franklin cover of “I Smile“ (joined by jazz great Kirk Whalum), to the theatrical on the universally popular hymn “Jesus Loves Me.” Joyner also throws in some rock-and-roll and pop with nods to TobyMac on the moving“City On Our Knees,” the up-tempo favorite “You Are Good“ by Israel Houghton, and the compelling “Bless The Lord (Son Of Man),” a Tye Tribbett classic with Jonathan Butler on lead acoustic guitar. What a perfect blend of jazz and gospel! Be sure and stop by iTunes to check out the latest from Jackiem Joyner.
