Anthony Evans Opens Up About the Making of "REVIVE"
No.1 Billboard charting Gospel artist Anthony Evans, announces the release of his highly anticipated full-length studio album, "REVIVE." Available now, the 10-track project is a mix of inspiring new original songs and soul-soothing worship songs that are a direct reflection of Evans' painstaking return to a strong, enduring faith after a long season of personal loss, heartache, and doubt.
Listen to "REVIVE" here and watch Evans' brand-new music video for "Follow" here.
"Those painful feelings, sense of despair and questioning, like 'Where are you God?' are real, but I have the truth of God's Word, and ultimately chose to believe and continue to move forward," says Evans. "Healing comes from making the decision to move in the direction of His truth and the faith you choose to have, even if our situation dictates otherwise."
Adds Evans, "In spite of my feelings at the time, I made a conscious choice to begin taking steps towards my spiritual, mental, and emotional health. When I started to do that, the work I did was magnified by His grace. It's like what happens when you sing into a microphone. You put forth effort, and it's amplified. That is what God did when I took time to push past feelings of despair and invest in my faith. He amplified my effort.
Two years in the making, "REVIVE" is co-written with Nick Pothoven and co-produced by Grammy Award winning Max Stark (Kirk Franklin, Tori Kelly, Marvin Sapp) and Darrel Walls (Travis Greene, PJ Morton). The album follows on the heels of Evans' 2020 "Altared" - a project that marked his second consecutive #1 on the Billboard Gospel Album chart. While setting his personal music aside for a season to focus on his mental, spiritual, and personal health, Anthony Evans has spent the past couple of years producing vocals along with a number or large tours and live events. Founder of Sherman James Productions, Anthony's skills have also led him to not only producing his own projects but also working alongside some of music's most popular icons. Evans latest projects have included, Grammy winning, multi-platinum artist DJ Khaled- and a long line of legendary figures who have sought out his array of behind-the-scenes talents, including Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, 2 Chainz, Tyler The Creator, Kirk Franklin, and Tori Kelly.
This year, hosted in multiple cities, Evans will be promoting "REVIVE" in part on the 2024 version of "Fervent," the touring event that he produces along with his sister, NY Times bestselling author and actress Priscilla Shirer. "Fervent" has produced over 40 sold-out events over the past few years. Evans will also be bringing back "Kingdom Legacy Live," an event inspired by the words of his mother, "All of you...together," which features his father, Dr. Tony Evans, and siblings, Chrystal Evans Hurst, Priscilla Evans, and Jonathan Evans. The first "Kingdom Legacy Live" program in 2023 had over 6,000 attendees.
"I'm looking forward to performing the songs on 'REVIVE' in a live setting, with a different level of inspiration, taking them from the great sessions we had in the studio to connecting with live audiences," says Evans. "With this album, I love that we didn't have to cut any corners, and with so many great friends, could create tracks at a sonic level on par with any contemporary album in any genre."
