Gene Moore [2023] - Introspection [Motown Gospel] (Full EP)

After an Easter vacation and feeling decidedly 'under the weather' upon return with a 25C change in temperature, in the words of Jean Carn, "We Got Some Catchin' Up To Do"! We'll start off by pulling together albums and EPs released over the last 3 weeks.

Gene Moore gave us one of the first killer cuts of 2023 on 20 Jan with his duet with India.Arie "Beautiful" and followed it with a single "Alright" at the end of March. Both are included on an new six track EP "Introspection" released last Friday (14 Apr '23).

"Beautiful" is hard to follow but both "I Believe" and "Thanks" (feat. Oswin Benjamin & Red Hands ) are worthy contenders. "Thanks" is in fact a remix of a track released by Ohio gospel group Red Hands from "The Family Album" (Nov '22) (included below for comparison) on which Moore featured with Houston-based singer/pianist Kim Burrell.

Gene Moore [2023] - Alright [Motown Gospel EGS]

Motown gospel artist Gene Moore released one of the singles of the year, "Beautiful" feat. Indie.Arie in Jan and it is now paired with a new funky gospel single "Alright", today. Both are from a forthcoming EP/album "Introspection" due on 14 Apr '23.

A son of a pastor, Moore was born just outside Houston, TX, but didn't start singing until he was 15. He graduated from Sam Houston State University with a degree in Radio and Television minoring in Advertising with the intention of pursuing a career in journalism. However, he landed a spot as a gospel announcer on KWWJ Gospel 1360 AM transitioning to Contemporary Christian Music at 89.3 KSBJ-FM and realised that music is what he really wanted to do.

He signed to Motown Gospel in 2013 but it took several years whilst Motown figured out what to do with him before his debut album "The Future" was released.

Moore is a highly respected background singer for artists such as Kirk Franklin and India.Arie. His critically acclaimed 2017 Motown Gospel debut album "The Future" earned him a Stellar Award nomination for New Artist Of The Year. The follow up "Tunnel Vision" arrived in 2019.

Gene Moore Feat. India.Arie [2023] - Beautiful [Motown Gospel EGS]

The new single from Motown Gospel artist Gene Moore featuring India.Arie, "Beautiful" will already be a candidate for the end of year selections. It's been a very slow start for good quality soul music so far this year but this stands head and shoulders above most that I've heard so far this year alongside Ledisi, Billy Valentine and Crutchfield Jones' EP.

Moore is a highly respected background singer for artists such as Kirk Franklin and India.Arie. His critically acclaimed 2017 Motown Gospel debut album "The Future" earned him a Stellar Award nomination for New Artist Of The Year. The follow up "Tunnel Vision" arrived in 2019.

Moore has featured here several times: "Coming Home", he featured on Lexi's "I Choose You" and as one of the featured guests on P.J. Morton's "The Better Benediction" (on "Watch The Sun" LP), and with Kim Burrell on Red Hands' "Thanks".
