Bebe Winans Partners with Korean Soul on New Single "Laughter"

After working behind the scenes for the past 10 years, six-time Grammy winning Gospel/R&B artist Benjamin, "BeBe" Winans moves back to the forefront with a new single, "Laughter" featuring the newly formed gospel group, Korean Soul, brought to BeBe's attention due to their posts featured on Instagram.

BeBe was so blown away by their incredible and unique sound he sent them the track and signed them to a production deal. "Laughter" was written by Winans and will be featured on his forthcoming album, his first solo album in six years, to be released later this year.

This past May, his single, "He Promised Me" featuring Tobbi & Tommi and introduced new artist Kiandra, reached #1 on the Billboard Gospel airplay charts making it his first solo #1 in his career.

"I am so excited to release this new single into the world...especially at a time when we all could use a bit more 'laughter' in our lives," said Winans. "I am also thrilled to be joined by and to introduce to the world the amazing talented group of artists from Seoul, Korea - Korean Soul."

Along with preparations for the album, Winans is also set to bring his buzzed about play about his life, Born for Thisto Broadway in 2019. Born for This is a universal story for anyone who has ever yearned for something, for anyone who is looking to find their purpose in life. It follows a talented young man from a tight-knit musical family as he grapples with his faith in his desire for fame. As teenagers BeBe, along with his sister CeCe, experience genuine culture shock when they leave the comfort of their home and family in Detroit to join Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's "Praise the Lord" network in North Carolina. When the duo rockets to fame, the seductive lure of fame and celebrity comes knocking. Ultimately, Bebe must reconcile the temptations of stardom and fortune with the things he values most in life.

Currently, BeBe serves as host of his own radio show on the Heart & Soul Channel (68) on Sirius/XM Radio Networks on Sunday Mornings (9am ET/7am PT).
