NASHVILLE, Tennessee – Regimen Records has announced the highly anticipated single release of the video and “One Night Only” performances by award-winning contemporary gospel legend Bebe Winans.
Tonight, Bebe will deliver his newest offering titled “Father in Heaven (Right Now)”. Written and produced by the Detroit native himself, the song recounts the many ways in which he has witnessed and felt God’s hand on his life. The ballad serves as a reminder of celebration and testimony.
Bebe delivered highly successful performances during his concert tour of South Africa – billed to be the last to this country – around the country in December 2023. Along with the song, the gospel great is set to deliver a new music video which conveys the essence of the song.
Filmed over the course of four sold-out performances across South Africa in last year, the official clip for “Father In Heaven (Right Now)” captures Bebe on stage bringing his unique blend of gospel, soul and R&B to thousands of fans.
“I must say this song speaks to the core of my being,” the singer says of the song. “I’m so grateful to my Heavenly Father for everything. I hope it moves listeners to the point of surrender when it is released on April 12 2024.”
In addition to the new single, Bebe is ramping up towards the announcement of a series of special live shows taking place in July 2024. Inspired by a recent performance at New York City’s renowned Apollo Theatre, the singer/songwriter and radio personality will be appearing in Chicago – Country Club Hills Amphitheatre on July 13; Washington, DC – Kennedy Centre on July 24; and Westbury NY – Westbury Music Fair on July 27. Ticket sales opened yesterday via Ticketmaster. Additional cities and venues will be announced soon.
Over the course of his storied career, Bebe has more than earned his place as one of the most respected voices in, not just gospel music, but contemporary African-American pop culture. A member of the legendary Winans family, he rose to prominence in the late 80’s and early 90’s as a member of the duo Bebe & Cece Winans.
The brother/sister team has sold millions of albums to date and garnered over 100 million streams across all platforms with their solo and group releases. Their 1991 album “Different Lifestyles” landed at the No. 1 position on both Billboard’s R&B Albums chart and the Top Gospel Albums chart.
In addition to his iconic (and still growing) discography – which includes the hits such as: “He Promised Me,” “Laughter,” “I.O.U. Me,” “Heaven,” “Addictive Love”, “Hold Up the Light” with Whitney Houston and many more, his voice has also served the Gospel community as host of the nationally syndicated BeBe Winans Radio Show.
Bebe Winans is a six-time Grammy Award winner, a six Stellar Award winner, a three-time Soul Train Award winner, a 10-time recipient of the DOVE Awards, and has taken home four NAACP Image Awards, as well as a NAACP Theater Award Winner for “Best Playwright” for the musical, Born for This.
