Award-winning famed Gospel icon
Kurt Carr returns with a vibrant vocal musical extravaganza on his new album
Bless Somebody Else (Kurt Carr Gospel/RCA Inspiration), available now.
The pioneering two-time GRAMMY nominated, Dove Award and multiple
Stellar Award-winning Gospel Hall of Famer has created another
soon-to-be classic album, delivering sixteen tracks filled with rousing
vocal runs and cutting-edge melodic flourishes that have made him one of
the most illustrious and enduring recording artists, songwriters and
producers for the past three decades. Featuring The Kurt Carr Singers
and special guests,
Bless Somebody Else comes six years since his last release, 2013’s
Bless This House.
After enduring a painful period dealing with a prolonged season of
losing loved ones including his mother Delores, his longtime ministry
partner Dorothy King, and mentor Andraé Crouch among others, Carr has
come through with
Bless Somebody Else, bringing a message of
thanksgiving and hope, with powerful inspiration to praise God’s
blessings in our lives and be a blessing to others.
After enduring this season of loss, Carr told God,
“I’m tired and I can’t do this anymore,” and he says as clear as day,
he heard God say, “If you don’t want to do it anymore, DO IT FOR
SOMEBODY ELSE.” This epiphany fueled the title track and carrying out
his mission with the album, to bless somebody else. Produced and written
by Carr,
Bless Somebody Else features the all-star single
“Bless Somebody Else (Dorothy’s Song).” Carr is joined by The Kurt Carr
Singers and special friends Miles Caton, Wess Morgan, Fred Hammond,
Faith Evans, Yolanda Adams, Smokie Norful, Erica Campbell, Roosevelt
Griffin, John P. Kee, Jekalyn Carr, Bishop Paul S. Morton, Keke Wyatt,
Bishop T.D. Jakes, Denise Tichenor, and Zacardi Cortez on the track,
which is becoming a new anthem.
Blending traditional sounds
along with the rollicking arrangements that have made his songs a
staple for choirs and churches of all denominations worldwide,

“Blessing After Blessing,” “I Owe You Praise,” “Something Big, Something
